Error and Notification Messages

002C Source drive ECC error overwritten
Event Type
Error
Cause
A read error was encountered during a rebuild and the controller is configured
to ‘ignore ECC’ or to ‘Force continue on source errors’. The sector in error
was reallocated.This will cause uncorrectable blocks to be rewritten, but the
data may be incorrect.
Action
It is recommended that you execute a file system check when the rebuild
completes.
Under Windows, right-click on your drive icon and choose
Properties>
Tools> Check Now
.
Under Linux or FreeBSD use
fsck /dev/sda1. If you have more than one
SATA device, substitute the correct drive letter and partition number, such as
sdb2, for sda1.
002D Source drive error occurred
Event Type
Error
Cause
An error on the source drive was detected during a rebuild operation. The
rebuild has stopped as a result.
Action
The controller will report an error, even if the area of the source drive that had
the error did not contain data. Scheduling regular verifies will lessen the
chance of getting this error.
You can force the rebuild to continue by setting the Overwrite ECC Error
policy through 3DM, CLI, or 3BM, and then rebuilding the unit again. This
will cause uncorrectable blocks to be rewritten, but the data may be incorrect.
It is recommended that you execute a file system check when the rebuild
completes.
