Hi guys! I’ve been self hosting for a while and been using am 2 tb HDD I bought on aliexpress two years ago to host movies and series… I bought a second drive to separate them and organize my media.
For 2 months everything went awesome but suddenly I started getting IO errors from my old drive. specially when I download and watch a movie at the same time.
Is my drive going die or could it be something else?
Dmesg showed these messages
[345778.390949] sd 0:0:0:0: [sda] tag#23 access beyond end of device
I/O error, dev sda, sector 3833662344 op 0x0:(READ) flags 0x3000 phys_seg 1 prio class 2
The weird part is the sda device stops showing unless I turn the PC off and take the sata cables from it and restart the PC. Then I can watch movies for a while before getting this error again… Regular reboot does not work.
Yeah I suspected that too. Specially after downloading a lot of movies at once but I haven’t used any tools besides fsck and fdisk and they read 1.8 Tb…I’ll look into that to make surr… Thanks!
Use f3 tools
