Critical Alerts: 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors

[MichaelBatz]

Hey everybody!

I received this mail.

Device: /dev/ada1, 8 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
Device: /dev/ada1, 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors

The first thing I did was to create a RMA for the HDD, because the warranty expires in less than a month. The RMA got accepted within 10 min.

I did some more testing. Now I am a little in doubt on how to proceed.

I did an extended offline test, and i scrubbed the pool.

The values for both Current_Pending_Sector and Offline_Uncorrectable are now 0, and the extended offline test have completed without any errors.

If I should RMA this HDD, then they would probably just return it to me, and charge for a lot of money. Not interested in that. How to proceed? I still have a great suspicions that this HDD is slowly dying. Or I'm just being too paranoid?

 

[adrianwi]

If it were me, and with only 1 month left on the warranty I'd still RMA it. I've sent 3 drives back to Seagate this year with similar issues and all of them have been replaced without any problems.

If you had a longer warranty period it might be worth just keeping an eye on it, but if it starts reporting more in 2-3 months time you won't have that option.

 

[Bidule0hm]

The thing is pending sectors aren't bad sectors but probably bad sectors. When you did the long test it probably detected those pending sectors as fine and put the counter back to 0.

I don't know if it'll qualify for the RMA though...

I'm more worried about the 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors. I don't understand how it could decrease to 0. Uncorrectable is uncorrectable. Maybe there is some reserved sectors?

I'm more worried about the 8 Offline uncorrectable sectors. I don't understand how it could decrease to 0. Uncorrectable is uncorrectable. Maybe there is some reserved sectors?

I guess it's an error in the parser used in FreeNAS to generate the alert in the GUI and the drive never had offline uncorrectable sectors.

Looks like bad characters in the file; can you post the output of cat -e /root/scripts/smart_report.sh please?

When I created the RMA. I took a screenshot of the smartctl -a /dev/ada1 output.

I guess i cannot be a parser error in FreeNAS GUI.

When I created the RMA. I took a screenshot of the smartctl -a /dev/ada1 output.

Waow, that's interesting. I don't know what's going on here...

Yeah, sure.

That was easy however: you have some lines that are wrapped. I guess you did the copy using the web GUI CLI and/or using another editor than nano. Try to do what I recommend in the Script basics section of my thread to see if it solves the problem ;)

Don't remember what I did. I have been using it for a long time, and it has been working perfectly until that HDD started failing. But I will check it out!

One of my drives reported 8 uncorrectable sectors for a few days/weeks then didn't for a few more. It then reported 8 again, then 16 and then it went back!

Is this also Seagate?

I have never experienced anything like this with other drives.

 

[adrianwi]

Yes, a Seagate ST4000VN000 ;)

ST3000DM001

This is a notoriously unreliable model. The drive has one command timeout, one high fly write, and one SMART extended test failure. I'd replace it.

I have been in contact with the retailer of the drive. They have agreed to replace it! Thanks everybody for your answers :)
