Raid 5 and file data corrupted

Post by TanerJames » Fri Dec 21, 2018 1:47 pm

Hi,


My raid:
Raid 5 (Three Disk)
Intel Software Raid
Async
64k
2 Volume (1. vol1 and 2. vol2)


My raid failed and corrupted data

(No rebuilding etc.)

2 Partition on Vol1 is no problem
1 Partition on Vol2 is corrupted data.


I've looked at why the files are corrupted.


I made a special raid definition and did a scan.
File names and folders are no problem but file contents are corrupted.


for Example: GPL.txt



File Start Offset: D7CED2F000
offset 1..4096 = First 4096 byte of file is no problem.

(D7CED30000 offset): The file is getting corrupted here.

(D7CED31000 offset): Next 4096 byte: Data is no problem.

So the first 4096 blocks are normal, the next 4096 blocks are corrupted and the next 4096 blocks are normal.


How that happens ?



Thanks.

I checked XOR:

Sector: 1810327936:

1. Hard Disk: 47829C4905B9CE27F5CFD68B7DA8B3D7
2. Hard Disk: CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCF94401007C23F3FF
3. Hard Disk: 8B4E5085C97502EB0C8BD78B018B4028


Check XOR:
47829C4905B9CE27F5CFD68B7DA8B3D7 xor CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCF94401007C23F3FF = 8B4E5085C97502EB0C8BD78B018B4028


XOR no problem.


But how does data corrupted?

You may check the integrity of the RAID by checking its consistency.
The problem is apparently with the volume on the RAID rather than the RAID itself. What has happened?
