Hi all,
I was hoping to get some advice on why my two SSD's seem to be wearing
unevenly, when they are both in the same raid1 array.
First, the array information:
# mdadm --misc --detail /dev/md0
/dev/md0:
Version : 1.2
Creation Time : Fri Jun 14 00:42:04 2013
Raid Level : raid1
Array Size : 499975360 (476.81 GiB 511.97 GB)
Used Dev Size : 499975360 (476.81 GiB 511.97 GB)
Raid Devices : 2
Total Devices : 2
Persistence : Superblock is persistent
Intent Bitmap : Internal
Update Time : Mon Jan 25 16:20:11 2016
State : active
Active Devices : 2
Working Devices : 2
Failed Devices : 0
Spare Devices : 0
Name : flail:0 (local to host flail)
UUID : 81b25e43:787b0bc4:f934d006:a726aa89
Events : 1240606
Number Major Minor RaidDevice State
2 8 17 0 active sync /dev/sdb1
1 8 49 1 active sync /dev/sdd1
# smartctl -A /dev/sdb|grep Wear
177 Wear_Leveling_Count 0x0013 093 093 000 Pre-fail
Always - 248
# smartctl -A /dev/sdd|grep Wear
177 Wear_Leveling_Count 0x0013 074 074 000 Pre-fail
Always - 915
Equally, we can see a different amount of data written to each drive:
# smartctl -A /dev/sdb|grep Written
241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age
Always - 7169916114
# smartctl -A /dev/sdd|grep Written
241 Total_LBAs_Written 0x0032 099 099 000 Old_age
Always - 24013780683
I'm stuck wondering why one drive is getting so many more writes than
the other, and is there some way to "swap" this so that the other drive
will get the heavier load over the next 12 months?
In theory, this suggests that one drive has 74% life remaining, and the
other has 93% (unless I'm reading that incorrectly...), while 74% is
still a lot, I guess I would prefer to prevent it getting too much lower
and needing replacement....
Any suggestions or advice greatly appreciated.
Full output of smartctl -x below for each drive:
# smartctl -x /dev/sdb
