• errors using new Samsung 870 EVO SSD

    From Winston@21:1/5 to All on Wed Aug 21 04:47:33 2024
    This is the first time I've used a solid state drive. It looks like
    there's some kind of compatibility or interface problem. The output
    from smartctl -x also points to some kind of interface problem.

    ZFS counted about 180 write errors while resilvering ~80GB. Most seemed
    to be retryable and succeeded on the second try (see logs below).

    The system is using AMD-AHCI, not IDE.
    The SATA interface is running at 3.0Gb/s, half the SSD's 6.0Gb/s speed. Temperature is fine (~29C).

    So far, the errors only occur during heavy activity: write errors during resilvering, and 2 read errors later during a brief burst of read
    activity.

    [Note: I swapped the SATA cables: that's why ada1 during resilvering
    became ada0 later. Since I swapped cables at the drive end, not the motherboard end, I think it unlikely to be a cable/bad connection problem.]

    Any ideas what the problem might be? Thanks,
    -WBE

    That means a serious fault. I assume the SSD you have is broken.
    You may test it with badblocks or such, but be aware SSD do block
    remapping in a massive way.

    TLDR: Get another SSD.

    Here's smartctl -x output, keeping only what looked "interesting"/relevant:
    ...
    0x06 0x018 4 64 --- Number of Interface CRC Errors

    Careful reading of the error messages and check of smartctl info
    indicated to me some kind of data/interface/compatibility error, not a read/write problem in the SSD.

    Google search turned up various Samsung 860 and 870 EVO articles.

    What I've determined:

    * It's not a bad data cable:

    Some of the articles suggested the problem might be a bad cable.
    I ordered two new ones (SATA III).
    Result: no improvement.
    That's as I expected, since I was pretty sure my cables were good,
    but it was cheap to try.

    * Fix 1:

    Based on the articles I read, this problem with Samsung 870 EVO and
    860 EVO SSDs appears to affect not just FreeBSD, but *BSD and at
    least some Linuxes.

    The solution/workaround (at least for FreeBSD) is to disable command
    queueing ("camcontrol negotiate $theSSD -T disable").

    * Fix 2:

    Connect the SSD with a USB-to-SATA adapter cable.
    I found such a cable in stock at Best Buy for $12.
    Perhaps this works because there's no command queueing over USB.

    As a side note, instead of turning off tagged queueing, I also tried
    reducing the number of tags from 32 to 2. Didn't help: the errors
    continued to happen.

    Maybe some day Samsung will come out with new firmware that fixes this
    problem.

    Is this something I should post to bugzilla (it's not a FreeBSD bug,
    though) or to some FreeBSD forum (which one)? Google no longer gets
    USENET, so I don't expect this article would be found by Google search.

    Report your findings in bugzilla. A developer may add a quirk to
    the scsi subsystem to automatically detect the drive and "do the
    right thing". I would use somthing like "SCSI tag-queue error with
    Samsung 870 EVO SSD" as the title.

    Sorry for jumping in. I only want to say thanks.

    Using long time FreeBSD (> 20y) private and small business.
    Never heard or read about this package.

    Last times I used to boot Windows to update the BIOS because my
    Fujitsu cannot update from BIOS like some HPs and others can.
    This job is the only reason I got an old harddisk with this MS Windows installed. (Usually it's power cord is not connected.-)
