Regarding the unexpected loss of files from the filesystem under various
loads, is the appended 'smartctl' data sufficient to make the determination
that the loss of files while the operating system is in use could be due to
the condition of the drive?
I didn't think so at first, because:
1) I would expect a FreeBSD error to the effect of "unable to read/write
/dev/ada0" or "block checksum does not match block data".
2) I would expect that all data read/written to from a drive is verfied to be
correct by FreeBSD with checksums, and that it is guaranteed to be correct
if there are no serious and fatal errors reported by the operating system.
But I may be wrong in these assumptions. Anybody know for sure? I have never
seen FreeBSD report any filesystem r/w errors. My past experience has only
taught me that when a drive begins to make very bad noises, this generally
accompanies obvious and serious problems; and that a drive fails when the
mechanical parts fail, but not due to wear on heads/platters or other things
that may cause failures that are not detected/reported by the operating
system.
I can't see how the loss of files could occur without FreeBSD noticing it and
reporting on it. Does FreeBSD just trust drives to do everything correctly
at all times?
