Hi all,

On one of the Xserves I manage we have had a few occurrences of disks disappearing during copying. The setup is:

Xserve intel dual 2.0 ghz
6 GB RAM
80 GB disk hosting Mac OS X Server 10.4 (latest)
2x1TB disks in RAID for file hosting

The system disk stays on the desktop but the file disks (acting as one 2TB disk) disappear during a file transfer. 90% of the time the file transfers are ok, but once in a while the disks disappear from the desktop on the Xserve (they are still detected in System profiler and both disks check out fine during hardware checks.

Following is from the console log:

I am not entirely sure if the DNS error is connected to the issue. There have been no changes in the network setup or settings as far as I know. The Xserve uses the ISP's DNS, as issued by the router (although added manually along with a fixed in-house IP).

Anyone having any idea what is causing this?

Thx,

Does this only happen after rsync jobs by any chance? Or after any sort of file transfer? How large are the files you are trying to transfer? Are the disks running as JBOD or RAID 0?

Also you should check if the “Put disk(s) to sleep when possible“ box is ticked, if it is try to turn it off.
It’s a long shot but it might help.

Hi,

Thanks for the reply.

As far as I know, there are no rsync jobs going on. This only occurs during a file transfer from the server to a workstation, causing the transfer to be non-responsive on the workstation. At the same time the drives disappear from the desktop on the Xserve. This I gather from the descriptions of the employees at the company where the server is. As I am not there most of the time, I have not been there during any of the instances.

To some degree, it seems the Xserve is crapping out on the transfer and removing the drives from use as a precaution. I doubt that as I would assume such a feature would be better documented.

The two 1TB disks are striped together using RAID0. On the server, the "disks to sleep.." box is not ticked.

The most worrying part in the console log - to me at least - is the I/O error. Maybe indicating possible disk failure.

Oh, and this may warrant another thread, but if the DNS messages turn out to be unrelated to this issue, I assume I should still try and find out what is going on there?

Thx,

Tobbi

Yikes!
Those log files sure look like a hardware problem with Disk 3. Because you have a RAID 0 configuration you are in a real danger of losing all your data. In fact, I'm surprised you haven't already and I assume there is a backup strategy in place. (and I do wonder why RAID 0 for a file server; I know it is too risky for my clients' work.)
I'd just replace that disk and see what happens. It wouldn't be the first time Apple's hardware testing didn't find a problem in an actually faulty disk.
