Keep seeing these 2 messages pop up on my console

[NoHesHere]

I had been running a FreeNAS 8.3.1 box without issue for about 6 months. The other day, my router died, and as I needed to replace it, I also took the opportunity to upgrade my FreeNAS to 9.2.1.3. Once I did that, I started seeing 2 strange messages on the console I had never seen prior. Any help, or explanation would be greatly appreciated.

First message, which I know is an error:

Code:

Apr  1 19:00:46 freenas kernel: (ada2:ahcich2:0:0:0): WRITE_FPDMA_QUEUED. ACB: 61 30 08 63 ca 40 99 00 00 00 00 00
Apr  1 19:00:46 freenas kernel: (ada2:ahcich2:0:0:0): CAM status: Uncorrectable parity/CRC error
Apr  1 19:00:46 freenas kernel: (ada2:ahcich2:0:0:0): Retrying command

This pops up fairly frequently, and I am not sure what is causing it. I read a bunch of old threads on the forum about this, and there seems to be a consensus that sometimes a bad SATA cable causes the issue, among other things. I will do that, but wanted to post it here beforehand, in case it is happening just because the drive is powering up and down.

Here is the output of smartctl -a /dev/ada2

The second message (totally unrelated, and if I should split this into another thread, please let me know):

This one I am pretty much baffled by, with the exception of seeing the model of my new router.

Thanks again for any help.

Well, if it's powering down and up when it shouldn't be, then you have either a bad hard drive, bad power supply, or something wrong causing intermittent power to the drive. I'll let you figure out which one it is if that situation applies as I can't help you more anyway.

That error is because the hard drive is reporting a problem. The problem can range from the hard drive to the cable to the SATA controller. Unfortunately identifying the problem will require you to eliminate the possibilities.

SMART data isn't bad(the interruptions scare me.. but that's not a bad sign). You ahven't done a SMART test in like 4000 power-on hours, so you have no schedule for SMART tests. I'd definitely set them up since you should be doing them. Search the forums for recommended schedules to find one that makes you happy.

Thanks for the help. I had admittedly, until this problem had shown up, never had SMART tests scheduled. I did set one up yesterday, so from now on should have the reporting. I will fiddle with it and hopefully find the issue. All my other drives complete their tests without issue, no interrupts or anything. Any ideas on the second message? Is that an error, or just the system being verbose?

 

[cyberjock]

Oh, I forgot to answer your second part. No clue since i've never seen that message before. It looks like it's just being verbose for a domain or something since nothing screams "I'm broken.. fix me".

Coo, thanks again cyberjock!
