What does this mean?
>>108470754Driver is failing.
>>108470754drives need to be 'aligned' to the correct partition in order to write or read. AKA a driver isn't doing what it should and it's neither reading nor writing on sdc, whichever device that is.The driver is stepping through segments, it can see the segments, it sees the drivers are correct, but when it goes to write or read, it realizes that it's not aligned and it errors out instead of risking writing bad data to a drive that may not be operating correctly. Try a smart test using smartmontools, make sure the drive is healthy.
>>108470794I think this can be caused by a failing drive firmware/controller. Drive media is fine.
>>108470794It's probably fucked, it's a 2.5" 2TB drive with 4 years of power on time. Only use it for temporary downloads, till now it still reads fine, downloaded huge archives that extract fine.
>>108470754bad cable, check the cable first
>>108470754>>108470756I hope you have backups, because that thing is going to die soon.
>>108471006Nyooo
I had similar issues and it stopped once I replaced the SATA cable
Also check the drives SMART
>>108470754>>108470756Hope you've got money for a new drive, fagass.
>>108471440>fagass
>>108470754>>108470756SMR drive? Also bad cables can cause this like the other anon said
>>108470794I want to understand this better. Is this alignment thing related to the 512-byte sectors of hdds or something else? How does it know when it is not aligned?
>>108470754Happened to me before, check the cable, hopefully it's a bad connection/bad cable and your drive isn't dying
>>108470754The drive is most likely kill.Check the SMART stats.>>108470954This is actually possible too, I once had a drive with a poorly connected cable misbehaving and thought it was dying but it was the cable. It showed up as UDMA CRC errors in SMART.
>>108470754
idk why dont you read the fucking flag
>>108470954>>108473487>>108473531Some drives also misleadingly increase 183 Runtime_Bad_Block count with cable related failures with no real bad blocks on the drive.
