FreeNas Mount Point Failure/ Possible Bad Disk

[danjoe]

Hello FreeNAS Community,

First time user of FreeNAS and fairly new to system administration. System configured as fallows:
FreeNAS--0.7.2.Sabanda


I recently took over a SysAdmin's work and I took over his FreeNAS system. It is a Dell PowerEdge 2850 with 6 disks connected and a FAS 250, 12 disk array. Both of these systems looks like they have had 7-12 years of life already. The SysAdmin had a public SMB share drive accessible to the users and it has been down for a several weeks and the users mentioned the system beeping a lot and of a possible dsk failure . This is the first time I have used FreeNAS and my experience with FreeBSD is minimal. And I have not been successful with finding useful errors.

After gaining access to the web interface I noticed

Code:

root: mount: /dev/stripe/datap1 : No such file or directory

A mount problem. This is the only relevant error I have found on the system. Is there an easy way to trouble shoot these problems using the FreeNAS tools? Anyone have suggestions?

Thanks,

danjoe

stripe sounds like a raid problem.

post the output of

Code:

zpool status

Code:

gstripe status

and

Code:

cat /var/log/messages

I actually turned off the FAS 250 which contains 12 disks because it started to beep again. The beep problem is intermittent. I assume it is a disk problem or raid problem but I have not yet figured it out. I will power it back up and hopefully it stays up so I can repeat these commands. However the previous admin appeared to use the 6 disks of the Dell Power Edge as a BU to some of his stuff and it is configured as a SOFT RAID. It looks like the SMB share, which is what I am concerned about is using UFS as it's file system. If need be if I do not figure this out in a timely fashion I will just use the Dell Power Edge has my FAS but it is a shame to loose the SMB data. The more I think about it, my problem most likely lies in the FAS 250, 12 dsk array.

Thanks again,


Dan

you misstiped the second command

"gstripe status" NOT "getstripe status"

Maybe your admin setup a stripe with gstripe and one disk finnaly died, more info about gstripe

and please post the messages from "messages" log and not system. (you can use http://pastebin.com/ if the forum dosent allow large posts/code tag dosent scroll)
