Both drives fail the web interface's drive test. D'oh.

I'm actually not that surprised since I've had the drive in there for quite a while. I noticed lately that I was getting a lot of read errors so I did the drive test in the web interface and unfortunately they both are in trouble.

In any case, is there any further info I can gather about the drives? The web interface just says "FAILED" and makes me restart the system. I need to know if they're failing SMART or if it's just a filesystem error and I can repair it somehow.

You can load the smartmon tools under FFP.

Re: Both drives fail the web interface's drive test. D'oh.

Thanks, I went ahead and did that and everything *appears* to be alright.

When I run

smartctl -H /dev/sda2

and

smartctl -H /dev/sdb2

it returns

SMART Health Status: OK

Also if the SMART status is alright then what do you think the issue could be regarding the web disk check failing and the read errors I'm getting?

I have always found that the web page disk check fails.  I have always ignored it because I have checked and I know there is nothing wrong with my disks.

Re: Both drives fail the web interface's drive test. D'oh.

This is a totally wild guess, but it may be possible that running any sort of fun_plug that starts processes which access files on either of the drives might make the web interface drive test fail.

The web interface drive test might need to unmount the disks in order to do an fsck or something similar.  Remember that the web interface code doesn't expect anyone to be running things it doesn't know about, including stuff launched from fun_plugs or custom cron jobs.

A simple way to verify this guess is to disable your fun_plug and reboot.  Then try the web interface test again.

This is similar to the hoops that you have to jump through to run a fsck while using ffp or whatever.  See http://www.inreto.de/dns323/fsck/ for how to boot so that you can run fsck.  While running SMART is a good idea, it is also good to check for file system problems with fsck.

Thanks, I'll take a look at that after I'm done my next incremental backup. I realized that I only had a minority of the data on it backed up elsewhere and while it wouldn't kill me to lose it, it wouldn't be fun either.
