ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

OS 6.5.1

2 x WD RED 1TB drives

 

Hi

Just did a diagnostics on my Ultra - errors were shown so I did a defrag. The result was:

Is this immininent disk failure?

 

Many thanks

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

sdc is an external disk. Have you run a filesystem check on that?

 

Also we have newer firmware. ReadyNAS OS 6.5.2 is now available!

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

Thanks mdgm,

I'll run a fschk on the backup disk.

 

Isn't

2016-09-12 09:57:39: journalctl[4522]: segfault at 7f326292ee68 ip 00007f326a15bf71 sp 00007fff0d248100 error 4 in libsystemd-journal.so.0.0.3[7f326a159000+11000]

referring to memory (in the NAS)?

 

I have the NASUltra 2, NASPro and NAS314. None say an update is available.

 

I have downloaded the x86_64 update and will install it manually tonight.

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

From my first post:


2016-09-12 09:57:39: journalctl[4522]: segfault at 7f326292ee68 ip 00007f326a15bf71 sp 00007fff0d248100 error 4 in libsystemd-journal.so.0.0.3[7f326a159000+11000]

Can I remove this from showing every time I do a Diagnostic or is it the NAS itself that has a fault? I don't know what it means.

 


2016-09-02 09:21:17: EXT4-fs error (device sdc1): ext4_put_super:789: Couldn't clean up the journal

What can I do to delete the journal?


2016-09-02 09:21:16: EXT4-fs error (device sdc1): ext4_journal_check_start:56: Detected aborted journal

Ditto.

 

I have checked my USB connected backup drives (sdc1 ?)  and they have no errors.

 

Many thanks

David

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

I think that segfault is a harmless error that you can ignore.

Have you run a read-only filesystem check of the filesystem on the USB disk?

You won't get a segfault error when checking diagnostics on 6.6.0.

Hi davidr1,

 

Have you ran the Windows Disk Error Checking tool on your USB drive while it's connected to your PC?

Many thanks for the replies,

I only run Linux (Ubuntu).

Raidar says it is up to date on 6.1, NAS OS is now 6.5.2 (was 6.5.1 on first post)

I assume that is OS 6.0 when released?

 


@mdgm wrote:

Ran it through gparted - I'm Linux only.

 

I'll do it through the command line. Thanks BrianL, but I don't have Windows. Seatools might be an option.

 

Any ideas if and how I can remove the journals the error messages refer to?

 

Much appreciate your help.

David

I ran Diagnostics again today. The results were:

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

Do you still see this on 6.6.0-RC2?

 

EXT4 is a Linux filesystem. You could do a read-only filesystem check on the USB disk using e2fsck if you specify the right options. I would suggest using the options to do a read-only check first and check to see the result.

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

Hi mdgm,

 

Thanks for your reply.

 

I'm on 6.5.2. I steer clear of Beta releases as these are in business use. So I haven't tried 6.6.0-RC2.

 

Are you saying that sdc drives are external? Then in a 4 bay RAID 2 how are the drives designated?

 

Critically, does any of my post refer to internal NAS drives?

 

IMHO it would be great if the NAS did not check external devices - and cause fewer heart failures 🙂

 

Many thanks,

 

David

I do realise this forum is busy and I do appreciate the support it gives.

 

Does my post indicate disk failure in the NAS units?

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

Lots of errors with your external disk - if it is healthy perhaps it needs reformatting.

 

Netgear said that the segfault was fixed in 6.6.0.  What else are you seeing that is concerning you?

Yes, I have run e2fsck on all of them (for the three units I use 12 disks - daily or weekly or monthly backup disks) and 'corrected' the errors.

How do I clear the logs so the next diagnostic does not show the same historical errors ?

 

I'm on 6.5.2 -6.6.0 isn't released yet is it except in Beta? I need to be sure it is 'safe' before installing betas. Check For Updates says I have the latest.

 

I think what concerns me most is why does OS 6+ check external backup drives when doing Diagnostics? The results can be confusing (as they were to me) as IMHO checking external backup drives should be the job of the user. My immediate reaction is my NAS disks are failing.

 

Thanks

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

ReadyNAS OS 6.6.0 has been released. It is available as a local update only at this time.

After checking it on 6.6.0 you could post an idea in the Ideas Exchange suggesting that the Diagnostics tool makes it clear which disks are internal and which are external.

And thanks also to StephenB - you guys and others help us so much.

 

Please know it is really appreciated.

 

I will update this weekend, check and make the suggestion.

Upgraded 31400, Pro and Ultra to 6.6.0 and ran Diagnostics as requested. Run at 2016-10-01 11:15 approx.

 

1.

No external drives attached. Diagnostics on Ultra show a segfault though note the date:

 

2016-09-12 11:23:04: journalctl[7632]: segfault at 7fcf2d8a9e68 ip 00007fcf35200f71 sp 00007ffd28a192f0 error 4 in libsystemd-journal.so.0.0.3[7fcf351fe000+11000]

2.

Is there any way of preventing historical faults on sdc1 from showing in these reports? Clutter, confusing and annoying 🙂

Re: ReadyNAS Diagnostic error

The logs do get rotated/truncated automatically after a period of time. Not sure how many lines we keep for the journal, but it is several times the amount of lines we include in the logs zip download.
