[2265.80 --> 2265.92] Right? |
[2266.50 --> 2267.20] Well, hey, look. |
[2267.44 --> 2269.66] Sometimes it ain't stupid if it works, Brent. |
[2270.10 --> 2273.72] Yeah, but it is almost guaranteed to only work for a short period of time. |
[2273.72 --> 2274.68] No, not at all. |
[2274.76 --> 2275.36] Not with cables. |
[2275.64 --> 2279.42] In my experience, cables can be finickety little buggers. |
[2279.56 --> 2280.26] You need better ones. |
[2280.62 --> 2282.62] Maybe there's a little vibration something got loose. |
[2283.14 --> 2283.52] Exactly. |
[2284.04 --> 2289.52] I learned long ago to put SATA cables with the little clips on, because the ones without clips do vibrate out. |
[2289.78 --> 2292.30] I think my issue is likely I'm not running out of hard drives. |
[2292.74 --> 2293.64] Yeah, yeah. |
[2293.86 --> 2296.12] I think there's about 10 spinning drives in this server. |
[2296.24 --> 2296.84] You know, it's quite a few. |
[2296.92 --> 2297.82] So there's a lot of vibration. |
[2298.14 --> 2301.18] So realistically, it could be a cable. |
[2301.18 --> 2304.28] It could be some crosstalk issue with all those SATA cables running together. |
[2304.78 --> 2308.68] They're plugged into an HBA card, which is a SAS cable. |
[2308.78 --> 2312.46] So it's four SATA cables going into one SAS plug on an HBA card. |
[2312.66 --> 2314.76] So I was thinking, maybe it's a bad cable. |
[2314.86 --> 2318.30] So I ordered a new cable off Amazon, put it in, and then... |
[2318.30 --> 2319.26] You ordered the short one. |
[2319.32 --> 2324.12] Realized it was too short and thought, I'll just go and grab a SATA cable just to tie us over. |
[2324.44 --> 2327.96] And then found in the drawer that I actually already had the correct cable. |
[2328.00 --> 2328.80] Oh, I've done that. |
[2328.92 --> 2329.08] Yep. |
[2329.08 --> 2331.74] I've done that for sure. |
[2331.88 --> 2335.28] So anyway, I connected up the drive and it wouldn't mount. |
[2335.88 --> 2338.66] Proxmox was going crazy with, you know, XFS errors. |
[2338.92 --> 2340.64] And I was like, oh, here we go. |
[2340.90 --> 2343.46] Smart wasn't showing me anything, but I've seen this before. |
[2343.52 --> 2346.00] And it usually means the end of the drive in my experience. |
[2346.12 --> 2349.48] So brought the drive upstairs, took it out of the server, brought it upstairs, |
[2350.10 --> 2353.40] connected it to my little diagnostic station I've got behind me over here. |
[2354.16 --> 2357.54] And ran, was it XFS repair? |
[2357.54 --> 2358.52] Yes, it was. |
[2358.66 --> 2358.98] I think. |
[2359.20 --> 2363.86] And that rebuilt the log or the, I don't know, something like that. |
[2364.24 --> 2364.70] The journal. |
[2364.92 --> 2365.58] Yeah, that's it. |
[2365.82 --> 2369.30] It took a good five, ten minutes to do that, which was a bit squeaky bum time. |
[2369.30 --> 2371.86] And then it just mounted perfectly. |
[2372.28 --> 2376.14] And, you know, I was listening to the drive the whole time it was on the table next to me for any audible noises. |
[2376.36 --> 2379.76] You know, I've heard a drive clicking before and it seemed fine. |
[2379.86 --> 2381.58] It was running cool to the touch. |
[2381.66 --> 2384.18] It was behaving properly with the testing that I was doing. |
[2384.34 --> 2387.64] So I thought, okay, let's put it back in the basement server. |
[2387.64 --> 2391.16] And so far, so good. |
[2391.36 --> 2393.72] Oh, I thought this was going somewhere completely different. |
[2394.20 --> 2395.10] I mean, it could. |
[2395.34 --> 2396.40] That'll be the next episode. |
[2397.82 --> 2399.16] Raid is not a backup, people. |
[2399.26 --> 2399.80] This is true. |
[2401.38 --> 2405.74] Alex, I'm curious what you think the issue was and what you think the issue might be, |
[2405.88 --> 2410.42] considering it still seems a little kind of like it may happen again. |
[2410.42 --> 2411.86] It seems fine now. |
[2412.00 --> 2423.38] I actually ran a bajillion snap raid checks and fixes and sinks and rebuilds and everything I could throw at this drive to stress it without actually wiping it and doing like a bad blocks run or something. |
[2423.38 --> 2426.10] Just to try and poke the bee's nest a little bit. |
[2427.04 --> 2428.96] And for me, I think it's going to be fine. |
[2429.04 --> 2438.72] But originally, I suspect there was either an issue with the power supply cable and maybe it sort of the voltage dipped slightly and it dropped off the bus a little bit in the middle of a write transaction or something. |
[2438.72 --> 2444.42] And that corrupted the log or the data cable was bad, which I have replaced now. |
[2444.66 --> 2450.42] So, you know, in terms of variables and stuff like that, if something goes wrong with it again, I will know it's not the cable. |
[2450.50 --> 2451.30] I will know it's the drive. |
[2451.68 --> 2455.38] Now, this is a shucked drive originally, and it's still within warranty. |
[2455.52 --> 2462.16] So actually, part of me is kind of curious just to send it into Western Digital and see what they say. |
[2462.54 --> 2464.38] Did you keep the shucked bits? |
[2464.92 --> 2467.12] No, there is some like, I forget the name of it. |
[2467.12 --> 2472.16] It's like Magnussen Moss Act or something that you can quote to them. |
[2472.42 --> 2473.58] And they have to fix it either way. |
[2473.58 --> 2479.76] Yeah, because they can't prove that my shucking broke the, you know, the whatever it is inside the drive. |
[2480.28 --> 2481.72] That is shockingly pro-consumer. |
[2481.96 --> 2482.56] I know, right? |
[2482.58 --> 2483.48] It's almost like we're in Europe. |
[2484.18 --> 2490.46] Chris has a drive that he shucked, but he definitely modified the drive by breaking the pin off, which was quite a clever situation. |
[2490.46 --> 2492.10] Well, now that is physical damage. |
[2492.10 --> 2492.82] I don't do that. |
[2492.92 --> 2497.22] I do the captain tape or I just snip the three-volt rail on the power supply cable. |
[2497.40 --> 2499.10] I wanted it fixed forever. |
[2499.28 --> 2500.86] And let's be honest, I'm never sending it in. |
[2500.92 --> 2501.94] I'm never going to do that. |
[2502.14 --> 2503.36] We also didn't have any tape. |
[2503.66 --> 2505.34] Yeah, we did look for the tape. |
[2505.56 --> 2506.94] And I'm like, screw this. |
[2507.24 --> 2507.60] Break. |
[2507.60 --> 2509.88] Now, Alex, I'm curious. |
[2509.98 --> 2511.28] What did you end up doing with the cable? |
[2511.76 --> 2512.22] Which one? |
[2512.28 --> 2512.88] The faulty cable? |
[2513.44 --> 2514.34] Yes, the faulty one. |
[2514.36 --> 2515.98] Did you just put it back in your drawer with the others? |
[2516.58 --> 2517.54] I think I might have done. |
[2517.92 --> 2518.28] Alex. |
[2519.28 --> 2519.82] Who knows? |
[2519.90 --> 2522.46] It's a mystery box of fun next time there's a drive problem. |
[2522.80 --> 2523.68] Yeah, right? |
[2524.06 --> 2525.88] So here's my solution to the 3.3. |
[2526.32 --> 2528.04] I'm showing the live stream on camera. |
[2528.04 --> 2531.56] I just cut the three-volt cable in my SATA. |
[2531.82 --> 2539.28] Like, I have these, like, you plug one SATA cable in here, power cable in, and then you get four, like, power plugs here. |
