An extra perspective, hard drive prices are mostly expected to get even worse next year.
It may hold on for months to years but all drives will likely die eventually and this one is giving you a warning, I'd replace it now and save some money if you can afford it.
For everyone here, this is true, and I'd recommend buying a couple drives for quick replacements. If you don't you're gambling that 1) a replacement drive will be available and 2) that it will be affordable.
Keep a few spares lying around while we get through the ebbs and flows of the market. As K said, a person is smart, people are dumb and panicky. If ssd and storage prices rise, people panic and our hdds will rise too.
Prep now and thank yourself later.
zpool has very reasonable thresholds for disk failure being enough to kick it from the pool. I've seen pool members have a batch of bad blocks and ZFS still chugged along for a few years just avoiding those blocks before the disk finally failed.
Heed truenas here, replace the disk if you can.
Not necessarily. I would shut the system down completely and check the drive connectors. If it's on a backplane, try swapping slots, or if it's breakout connector, swap it with another drive (and clear the zpool errors). If the errors start happening on the other drive, it's a cable problem. If they continue on the same drive, it's a drive problem. If they stop happening, it was a bad connection and it ought to be fine now.
That's kind of a short output from smartctl -a, though. Shouldn't it include the attribute data? I'd run a smart test (after doing the swap above) and see what it says.
On a raidz2, I wouldn't be too concerned about losing a drive, but you should always be prepared to order a replacement if you value your data.
I second this. SATA cables are cheaply made and can present issues that seem to indicate drive failure.
Had this issue once, 2 drives kept not initializing during boot, rebooting a few times got them to register but showed drive errors. I thought either the drives or my SAS card was dying. Fully reseating the connectors fixed it and haven't had an issue since.
OP is using SAS, but it's not too far from SATA.
I would bet money that drive is done. Cable would be udma crc errors, not media failure. Drive made it 11 years (even if power on time is only about half of that)
42441.67 powered on hours is really young for drive death, I normally don't start seeing issues till 50k.
Is it making any audible sounds while running?
I haven't read the smart data for Seagate in a while but the errors numbers look off and would like to see more details. Haveing errors in itself doesn't mean much. Normally I look for Reallocated Sector Count, Seek Error Rate, and Uncorrectable Sector Count. But here it's not telling the details like the types of errors.
Maybe try sudo smartctl -all /dev/sdd not sure if the -a you used is being interpreteded correctly?
I'm also missing the smart tabular output here, because it's easier to read and allows to inspect the source of the errors. Maybe it's because it's SAS?
sudo? -all?
I'm going to assume truenas is entirely Linux based now because last time I worked on it, it was FreeBSD and it was smartctl -x /dev/ada3 as root
Kind of, TrueNAS has "CORE" which is FreeBSD and "SCALE" which is Linux.
If you're on CORE 13.X you can actually side-grade over to SCALE.
CORE is in maintenance only and SCALE is the path forward. So you can still get some updates on CORE I think, but everyone should be switching over to SCALE or using SCALE from here on out.
On FreeBSD it's also -a or -A for shorter output.
-a is limited for legacy compatibility, -x is the new all
Does this drive not have SMART values? Could be a loose cable for all we know (UDMA CRC errors).
Just RMA it now. If it has SMART failures, you can provide the codes and they'll replace it no problem.
Buy two replacements
