SOLVED Why didn't I get a warning on this?

[danb35]

So last night I had an apparent glitch in my server--one of my drives dropped offline, then came back online a few minutes later. I got an email alert that the pool was degraded, and another that it was resilvering. After four minutes, the disk was resilvered and the pool is fine. When I got up this morning, I saw the emails, identified the drive that had dropped offline, and checked its SMART status:

8500 bad sectors (and climbing--a few minutes later, and the count has jumped to over 10k)? Ouch! Obviously it's time to replace the drive. I'm OK with that; it's fully depreciated. But what I'm concerned about is that there was no warning of this. I have SMART monitoring enabled, I have my email address entered, and I've gotten SMART email alerts in the past, but nothing on this. I don't even have a yellow light in the web GUI.

Seems the system should have recognized this and said something. What can I check to track down why it isn't? Build specs in sig.

Edit: It's worse than I thought. Here's what another drive is saying:

That's three drives that should have been throwing big red warning lights, but aren't. Why?

 

[BigDave]

That's three drives that should have been throwing big red warning lights, but aren't. Why?

Shooting in the dark here...
I seem to recall an old cyberjock post regarding drive errors appearing during periods of high temps.
The first drive's smart numbers obviously indicate a failing drive. I think if the other two @ 39 degrees,
are idle temps, perhaps these two drives may be just plain too hot and are throwing errors due to that.
Are your logs reporting these errors? I would also compare firmware versions for the drives of the same
model number...

 

[danb35]

Yeah, the drives are a little warm. They're better than they used to be, but they still get into the low 40s pretty regularly. That might account for early failure, but it shouldn't account for failure to report the failure. And yes, all of these errors are in the logs:

[joeschmuck]

Lets take a look at just one drive, da15 should be generating an email after each SMART Short test failure, and it's been failing for a while and at the same LBA range. I would RMA this drive. I would assume the email is all setup properly since you got a message in the first place.

I'm not sure what drive temperature would have to do with not getting email notifications. Is FreeNAS broken? Based on what I've read above I think it's a Bug Report with a very high importance value. If you find out that this is a setup error, I'd really like to know what that was so I can ensure I'm not making the same mistake.

Lets talk a bit more about the drives listed above... da13 and da15 both are having reading data issues and fail the SMART testing yet the overall health status is PASSED. This could be the smoking gun why FreeNAS isn't reporting the errors, but I've been too out of the game to know what the trigger is to consider it a failure and generate the email. I think da1 is also failing even though it passes the extended test.

 

[danb35]

It's obvious (to me, at least), that all three drives need to be replaced. I've already ordered a replacement for da1, and I'm checking with the vendor on da13 and da15 if I can do an advance exchange (since I don't want to degrade my pool if I can avoid it). I'm also seriously considering replacing da13 and da15 with name-brand drives rather than the white labels.

I've submitted a bug report, but it's marked private since my debug file is attached (which it seems would be very important for the devs to figure out what's going on). I'll update here if I learn anything.

 

[Bidule0hm]

That's why I made a script to email me the SMART infos after each SMART test (and same for the scrubs), until this problem is solved I recommend you to do the same so you don't miss any other drive failure ;)

 

[LIGISTX]

Whelp, looks like now that I am trying to be apart of this FreeNAS community and really really like warm and fuzzies, I should prob keep up with stuff like this ;)

I really do have SO much to learn.

 

[ethereal]

i use Bidule0hm's script and i have an email of all my drives smart tests once a week.

i check every drive for any problems and also verify that the smart test are running as and when they should be.

early in my freenas experience i realised i needed to be proactive with my drives health - the emails weren't coming (my fault). and sometimes the smart tests weren't running on the drives i thought they were.

 

[danb35]

My bug has been parked as a duplicate of 15898, which appears to have been resolved in the 9.10.1 update. That will get me the P21 firmware warning and who knows what boot problems, but I guess that's why I have IPMI and boot environments.

 

[danb35]

For closure, I updated to 9.10.1, and the alert notifications are now working as expected.

For closure, I updated to 9.10.1, and the alert notifications are now working as expected.

Just out of curiosity... are you using an email address with a '+' character?

 

[danb35]

Nope, only alpha, @, and . .

 

[Nick2253]

Just out of curiosity... are you using an email address with a '+' character?

Gmail, right? I am using an email with a + character, and whether or not I had the + character, it wouldn't work for me in 9.10. Once I upgraded to 9.10.1, it fixed the problem.

Yes, gmail. I don't use it for my monitoring account, but I read the bug report and it mentioned problems with email addresses containing '+' chars.

I think I'm getting all of the status mails I should be getting from my FreeNAS server... but I intend to find out for certain, given the email problems described in this thread.

Problem is... I'm running 9.10 and don't have a lot of confidence in 9.10.1 after seeing all the problems folks have posted about it.

I'm not sure which versions of 9.10 had the bug in smart_alert.py, but at least 20160607 did. The result of that appears to be that any SMART alerts will not be emailed.
