Constant messages on I/O error on same sectors
Solution 1:
Your drive is failing, and this is likely irreparable.
=== START OF READ SMART DATA SECTION ===
SMART Self-test log structure revision number 1
Num Test_Description Status Remaining LifeTime(hours) LBA_of_first_error
# 1 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 23618 1476686720
# 2 Extended offline Completed: read failure 90% 23618 1476686720
This means that when you ran a self test with smartctl -t long
, the result was a read failure about 10% of the way into the drive. It doesn't tell you the result as part of the smartctl -t
command, because this would tie up your terminal for several hours - it should tell you how to access the results.
Continuing to use the drive may result in silent data corruption, or complete failure. I'd strongly suggest replacing it.
