Something I've noticed scrubbing two pools that I have, one is Raid6 and the other is Raid5.
The scrubbing goes along very slowly and I think it's because there is always one disk that's operating differently than the rest. Which disk changes. Here is an iostat of the current scrub, and you can see that /dev/sdj is the odd ball. Below the iostat output is the smart statistics for sdj and they indicate a healthy drive. And to be sure I recently ran extended tests twice without incident. Below that is another iostat output, where literally as I'm typing this email the behavior changed to a different drive in the pool, /dev/sdo and the smart data follows, also showing a healthy drive (and a load cycle count that would make a seagate blush). avg-cpu: %user %nice %system %iowait %steal %idle 0.34 0.00 5.88 93.20 0.00 0.59 Device: rrqm/s wrqm/s r/s w/s rMB/s wMB/s avgrq-sz avgqu-sz await r_await w_await svctm %util sdp 0.00 2.00 0.00 5.00 0.00 0.08 31.47 0.05 9.07 0.00 9.07 8.93 4.47 sda 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdd 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sde 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdr 31.33 0.00 41.67 1.00 4.56 0.02 220.12 0.39 9.05 9.26 0.67 3.50 14.93 sdi 26.33 0.00 65.67 2.00 5.73 0.10 176.47 0.75 11.04 11.36 0.67 3.73 25.23 sdf 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdn 30.33 0.00 58.33 1.33 5.50 0.06 190.97 0.54 8.99 9.19 0.50 3.90 23.27 sdo 33.00 0.00 64.67 1.00 6.10 0.04 191.72 0.73 11.06 11.22 0.67 3.88 25.47 sds 30.33 0.00 59.00 1.67 5.56 0.05 189.45 0.53 8.66 8.90 0.40 3.66 22.23 sdc 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdb 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdk 28.67 0.00 62.33 1.67 5.65 0.08 183.29 2.73 42.72 43.86 0.40 8.20 52.47 sdl 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdu 35.00 0.00 62.00 0.33 6.04 0.00 198.59 0.74 11.88 11.95 0.00 4.41 27.50 sdt 26.33 0.00 61.33 1.00 5.58 0.02 184.00 0.65 12.05 12.24 0.33 3.76 23.43 sdj 34.67 0.00 31.67 0.67 3.79 0.04 242.80 129.66 3822.54 3876.24 1271.50 30.93 100.00 sdq 33.33 0.00 43.33 0.67 4.79 0.03 224.42 0.56 12.68 12.88 0.00 6.02 26.47 sdm 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 0.00 sdh 34.33 0.00 46.00 1.67 5.02 0.10 220.20 0.53 11.17 11.57 0.40 4.45 21.20 sdg 30.00 0.00 48.67 1.67 4.90 0.05 201.11 0.45 8.99 9.29 0.00 3.52 17.70 [root@san01 ~]# smartctl -a /dev/sdj smartctl 6.2 2013-07-26 r3841 [x86_64-linux-4.1.0-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-13, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Caviar Green (AF, SATA 6Gb/s) Device Model: WDC WD15EARX-00PASB0 Serial Number: WD-WCAZAK449717 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 2b27dbe1a Firmware Version: 51.0AB51 User Capacity: 1,500,301,910,016 bytes [1.50 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ATA8-ACS (minor revision not indicated) SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Thu Jul 9 16:58:52 2015 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
