If indeed writes are failing then the drive is only suitable for a door stop. Drives remap bad sectors to a spare pool on write so if it is now failing writes, it has already exhausted its spare pool and you should have replaced it long ago. Have a look at its SMART stats and it will probably confirm the drive is fubar. > [ 83.050733] BTRFS info (device sda1): csum failed ino 3048916 > off 33030144 csum 1217419445 expected csum 510562246 [ 83.052317] > BTRFS info (device sda1): csum failed ino 3048916 off 33030144 csum > 1217419445 expected csum 510562246 That's not saying writes are failing; it is saying that your data has been silently corrupted, which means the drive is the worst kind of broken and should be thrown in a fire at once. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iQEcBAEBCgAGBQJUap4OAAoJENRVrw2cjl5RwBAH/1ceBd4i7WD7679x3bshYYTi Lv63xLRMjbo+T0md3ptcndyxFbZlRdWQiJbIKT40yn9xnqOWeXWTkSmODqGyEOdC M9HSlfZg8fOAha4kb7k1tzzqxdR1J3iAj03/G0B4+YKY0I7AaGdzhGLRAY8EVtRW UVG99451wwRyUpg3YLk+n12MMSlq8Sy9XSjMU5/ECDzemH5GF6pPNi39nCy6JFti oaTOwnAROfb7L3Y9ZBiIJ52Y7p4UIdS1jaSkLw0U2g0Gz+5V1/fb1hOhK5J/loYy bC4JyoJsxn9GyJGwM93s64aWE5X+N+i7RzmysQVBI/3wepGXpG0Tsq37NnKB3iU= =BctV -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-btrfs" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
