Hello.
Woke up this morning to find FreeNAS telling me that a drive had an unrecoverable error and should be checked out, possibly replaced. I could see in the log that it was drive "ada0" which I'm assuming is the drive plugged into the first sata port.
I have the data on the system backed up. So, I started moving some files around despite the warning. That generated a lot of these errors:
Questions:
1) What is 5ahcich0? Is that just an error code? Or, is it a reference to a drive? I'm running FreeNAS from a USB drive. So, I want to rule out a problem with that drive. Although I had the earlier error on ada0, these new error messages do not cite ada0. So, I don't know if it's just that drive or some larger problem.
2) The mention of swap makes me wonder if something isn't able to read/write to space on the USB drive. Or, is swap handled entirely in RAM? Or, am I just completely misunderstanding the error message?
3) How do I test the drive ada0 to determine whether or not it really needs to be replaced? Or, are the errors that I'm seeing strong enough evidence on their own to warrant replacing the drive?
Thanks in advance for any insight!
*** UPDATE:
In addition to the above, I'm now getting these errors:
Related? Or, do I also have a network config issue? (This wasn't happening at all yesterday while performing the same operations.) This happened a bunch of times. But, it eventually looks to have crashed FreeNAS. The web GUI is gone and the direct screen just shows repeated "watchdog timeout" errors...
