I have a Debian box with additional ( it is not a system disk ) 1.5Tb sata hdd (wd caviar green). There is only one partition on the whole disk.
Disk is used for backups from remote system (with rsnapshot
, backup update runs every 4 hours) and rtorrent for some files. So disk is permanently in use.
Everything was perfect, until some filesystem errors appeared and I couldn't delete a lot of files due to filesystem read/write error.
fsck
saved me, within one month errors appered several times. Every time I need to umount partition and run fsck
to fix all errors.
During fsck
different fs block read/write were fixed, also appeared some messages like:
Inode 61477311 ref count is 3, should be 2. Fix? yes
Block bitmap differences: -(246948483--246948494) -(246987843--246987871) -(246988756--246988758) -(246989103--246989109). Fix? yes
smartctl
doesn't show any errors at all.
So, should I backup the whole data and format it or hard is dying or maybe there is another way to fix the issue?
ps. Here is smartctls output:
