  1. : Hi Chris, hi Alan
  2. Longtime listener, first call for help.
  3. I've run into some issues on my freenas, which made me wonder about the messages I got.
  4. This boils down to using some older worn down USB flash devices for the most part.
  5. But here is the thing I still struggle with:
  6. Scrub tells me:
  7. scan: scrub repaired 0 in 0h6m with 10 errors on Sun Jul 3 00:44:13 2016
  8. config:
  9. NAME STATE READ WRITE CKSUM
  10. freenas-boot DEGRADED 0 0 20
  11. gptid/ef389232-4086-11e6-a65c-3464a99ad398 DEGRADED 0 0 60 too many errors
  12.  
  13. errors: Permanent errors have been detected in the following files:
  14. //root/FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534.iso
  15.  
  16. I copied this ISO to the root dir on the USB flash devices, just as a test and ran scrub afterwards.
  17.  
  18. This is a single USB device with no parity/redundancy, so "Permanent errors have been detected" to me means: Sorry, got to let you know, I can not fix this, you better delete the file.
  19. Metadata-blocks could be recovered from the second copy on the device, but data-blocks can not, right?
  20.  
  21. Is it possible that a sha256 FreeNAS-9.10-STABLE-201606270534.iso returns the original hash at this point?
  22.  
  23. Am I getting something wrong?
  24.  
  25. Thanks for the great show all these years!
  26.  
  27. Cheers
  28. Matt
