Greetings Running a Raid-10 array made up of 4 - 1 TB drives on a debian testing (11) system. mdadm - v4.1 - 2018-10-01 is the version being used. Some weirdness is happening - - - vis a vis - - - I have one directory (not small) that has disappeared. I last accessed said directory (still have the pdf open which is how I could get this information) 'Last accessed 2020-01-19 6:32 A.M.' as indicated in the 'Properties' section of the file in question. Has been suggested to me that I make the array read only until this is resolved. I have space on the the array on a different system to recover this array. Suggestions on how to do both of the above would be aprreciated Checked the drives that make up the array using smartctl and the results are (I removed text from each result that did not seem to have any bearing on the test results (I likely used the wrong 'code')): # smartctl -a /dev/sdb smartctl 7.1 2019-12-30 r5022 [x86_64-linux-5.4.0-2-amd64] (local build) Copyright (C) 2002-19, Bruce Allen, Christian Franke, www.smartmontools.org === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model Family: Western Digital Red Device Model: WDC WD10EFRX-68FYTN0 Serial Number: WD-WCC4J3TC25D3 LU WWN Device Id: 5 0014ee 20cd9cd93 Firmware Version: 82.00A82 User Capacity: 1,000,204,886,016 bytes [1.00 TB] Sector Sizes: 512 bytes logical, 4096 bytes physical Rotation Rate: 5400 rpm Device is: In smartctl database [for details use: -P show] ATA Version is: ACS-2 (minor revision not indicated) SATA Version is: SATA 3.0, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 3.0 Gb/s) Local Time is: Fri Feb 7 08:35:51 2020 CST SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.
