ATA Errors Not In System Log
Thought I'd comment on a curiosity that arose from a weird situation where a 516 spent 10+ hours syncing a drive replacing a missing member of a RAID6 array. But upon finishing it simply faulted it again. I'd logged in fresh to the web UI, and nothing I saw gave a quick clue as to WHY it'd failed the drive again. Upon reseating the drive, the issue became more apparent... quickly there were a ton of warnings in the web UI about I/O errors to the disk. ATA error count over 3000 -- for a drive that had heretofor been under 50. So clearly an issue. But when I went looking at the system log there was ZERO mention of these alerts. And since this NAS is prepped to be on someone else's home LAN, it's email alerts aren't going out (until he connects it in it's proper home). So that would have been another vector for being advised of the issue, for sure. I do keep wondering though why such alerts aren't logged into the system log though... I think that would be quite helpful in situations where someone is diagnosing problems and tries to isolate faults without the benefit of a live web session or copies of email alerts.3.1KViews0likes2Comments
