Harddrive burn-in questions

Ceetan · Oct 27, 2016

I am in the middle of my harddrive burn-in process. I did not notice it at first but in the dev list, all drives are listed with passX, daX save for the bootdrive wich is the only drive connected via the chipset SATA ports (the rest are connected via LSI3008 SAS controller with P12 IT-firmware) and da5 which also has this reverse order.

Code:

[root@Darwin] ~# tmxo show-buffer
tmxo: Command not found.
[root@Darwin] ~# tmux show-buffer
root@Darwin] ~# camcontrol devlist
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 0 lun 0 (pass0,da0)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 1 lun 0 (pass1,da1)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (pass2,da2)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 3 lun 0 (pass3,da3)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 4 lun 0 (pass4,da4)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 5 lun 0 (da5,pass5)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 6 lun 0 (pass6,da6)
<ATA WDC WD40EFRX-68W 0A82>		at scbus0 target 7 lun 0 (pass7,da7)
<Corsair CSSD-F90GB2 2.0>		  at scbus2 target 0 lun 0 (ada0,pass8)

The smart test for da5 returned the following message:

Code:

Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 0 to 1

This naturally made me suspicious, but I thought I would run all the tests on the other drives before I RMA:ed it, so I started badblocks testing.

As I half expected da5 started showing ridiculous amounts of errors. The test has now been going on for about 120 houers (been running more tests than I have threads so I expect it to take a while) All WDRED drives except for da5 are so far without error which is pleasing. However, I also received the following output from FreeNas email smartservices (I think?)

Since I am abit of a novice on these things I have the following questions:

1. Is there any reason why da5 (and the bootdrive) have their devicename and their pass listed in reversed order? Does it mean anything of significance?

2. Does the pastbin output log indicate that the error could be outside the drive? (E.g the SAS-controller)? Seems unlikely since all the other drives seem to be working.

My interpretation is that a self-test did not complete properly and generated this message.
run and post output to give additional clues

Code:

smartctl -a /dev/da5

I also got the folowing input via mail just today.

Code:

Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], failed to read SMART Attribute Data
Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], Self-Test Log error count increased from 1 to 2
Device: /dev/da6 [SAT], failed to read SMART Attribute Data
Device: /dev/da4 [SAT], Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed
Device: /dev/da4 [SAT], Read SMART Error Log Failed
Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], Read SMART Error Log Failed
Device: /dev/da4 [SAT], not capable of SMART self-check
Device: /dev/da6 [SAT], Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed
Device: /dev/da4 [SAT], failed to read SMART Attribute Data
Device: /dev/da6 [SAT], not capable of SMART self-check
Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], not capable of SMART self-check
Device: /dev/da6 [SAT], Read SMART Error Log Failed
Device: /dev/da5 [SAT], Read SMART Self-Test Log Failed

Here is the smart output for all the drives. I ran a long smart test on the last of oktober, after badblocks was done, last week

The problem is that @Dice asked you to run smartctl -a, not smartctl -A. Many Unix programs are case-sensitive in their options. In particular, using -A instead of -a strips off a lot of information, including (critically) the self-test log. The data you posted for da5 is questionable in the seek error rate and multi-zone error rate though.

Ceetan · Nov 1, 2016

AH! Well you learn all the time.......will sort that out.

joeschmuck · Nov 1, 2016

When you do post the full output of smartctl -a /dev/da5 I'm sure more information can be provided to you, however in the meantime I thought I'd ask a few questions to provoke the thinking process, and because I'd like to learn a few things (yes, I do still learn here).

1) I noticed that you have an LSI 3008 controller flashed to IT P12 firmware. Is that the proper firmware for FreeNAS? I ask this because it seems like everyone is using firmware version P20/P21. I'm not a controller expert so I ask and learn. (EDIT: I just looked up firmware from the LSI site, looks like P12 is the current, answered my own question)

2) ID 200 Multi-Zone Errors very well can be the indication of a failure however generally not a failure of a SMART test. My question is: What testing were you running for your Burn-In testing in which generated the errors? Bad Blocks or maybe "dd" ?

3) What version of FreeNAS are you running?

4) Last thing would be to connect the hard drive directly to the motherboard SATA port and then test the drive directly and I'd run a SMART Long test and then see what the results are.

Let's hope your drive doesn't have infant mortality.

Good Luck!

One should always keep learning, and I have found these forums to be a place full of knowledge, both in the form of text and a community of many "teachers", yourself included.

I took special care to make sure I got this right. I hade feeling doing it wrong would be expensive.

I considered this.
It is next on my todo list, to investigate the controller and/or cables
I think it it might, at least is seems to have neonatal illnesses ;) (da5)

Good Luck!

Thank you. I 'll update my sig with OS info
New attempt

So far, I have been running short and long smarttests, badlocks, and long smart tests again. If memory serves, Da5 started acting up during the first long smart, and seemingly went haywire during the badblocks. See image for a snipet of what it was like.

joeschmuck · Nov 1, 2016

You got troubles.

That has been running for 7 days on a 4TB drive?

Looking at the SMART information, you have grounds to RMA the drive. If possible you might be able to return to where you purchased for a new drive. Either way the drive is bad and nothing you can do will fix it.

I'll explain it a little... The SMART Long test failed at 90% into the read. This is a completely self contained test meaning your SATA cable and interface has nothing to do with the test other than to tell the drive to start and then you read the results. So the drive is really not worth putting any extra time into. Sorry for the bad news.

EDIT: The rest of your drives look to be in good working condition.

Ceetan · Nov 1, 2016

No bad news really. Better to catch it now then when the pool is up and running. Thanks @joeschmuck @danb35 and @Dice :)
I had that feeling fairly early on from the badblocks already, so I have already intitade RMA contacts. What worries me more is the failiure of da4 and da6 to read their smart error logs. Is that cause for concern?

I suspect that is an issue with the LSI3008 or data cables. Connect those hard drives directly to the motherboard SATA ports and see if that allows you to communicate properly. If that works then you can try to swap the SATA cables around and see if it's a bad cable, but as I said earlier, I'm not a RAID/HBA card expert, even though I know yours is the built in SAS controller.

Load cycle count seems high on a drive with 500 hours.

Nearly a load an hour. Have you got the drives configured to spin down?

nope....not yet. I suspect that it could be due to the fact that for awhile, I had more 2 bad blocks going for some of the drives. That was a mistake that happend becaue I was still learning tmux.

Stux · Nov 1, 2016

I think the load cycle count is when the drive wakes from sleep

Well, with a cycle per hour the drive will be gone from another cause before the LCC will even be at half the max rated value... I wouldn't worry about that :)

Ceetan · Nov 2, 2016

Got this from the server earlier today. Can't be good, can it? I guess I should bring this to lsi3008 Issues. I have a feeling it might be firmware related. Any opinions?

joeschmuck · Nov 2, 2016

I thought the LLC's were a bit high too but didn't know what was driving them up.

Still, worth investigating after the immediate issues are solved. It's that weird middle ground that suggests something's wrong without being an immediate danger sign.

Is there any particular way this can be invetigated? What LLC shhould I expect?

Roughly the same as the power cycle count.
