Hello,
I've been having a persistent problem that one of my non-critical spinning drives (I have 10 drives installed, 2 SSD and 8 spinning discs) will randomly stop responding and Debian 12 will report an input/output error.
I tried using the built in disk management to unmount and mount, but I am still unable to communicate with the drive. I tried this again from the terminal using umount, but I could not get it to work. Then I removed the disk from the machine and scanned it on a different computer system and did not find any errors. No bad sectors found and I don't recall seeing anything in the SMART data that might indicate an issue.
The only thing I've found to get the drive to reconnect is to reboot my machine. This is a hassle because I have to shut down several applications and relaunch some of them after booting. The drive is always connected and working after it boots. Sometimes it will be a few hours before the drive reports input/output error and sometimes its weeks.
When this started, I swapped out the cable with a new one. Other than that, I haven't been in the server for a few months.
Where do I start with fixing this issue? Thank you
OS: Debian 12.
HDD: SATA 14TB Toshiba with around 15,000 hours. Formatted as NTFS. All data is backed up.
