I am trying to do what would be a very simple task. I have two HDDs (spinning drives) and I am trying to move the data from one to the other using rsync.
The command in itself is very simple
rsync -r --info=progress2 /mnt/disk1/backupfolder /mnt/disk2/backupfolder
The amount of data to move is around 4tb.
Somehow, once around 89% and another at 94% the process dies, and halts the server itself, making it completely unavailable and unresponsive (pings don’t work, nothing hosted works, ssh does not work). Only a reset via button on the case works here.
At first I was under suspicion was temperature. After constantly checking the second time with beszel, seems everything is in the normal ranges.
Did anyone else experience such bizarre system shutdowns/hangs? In the meantime I am going to test the memory with memtest just to be sure is not that.
Edit: forgot to mention, both drive smart data gives a pass, although they are second hnd bought with warranty.
Edit2: memtest finished and nothing is there (thank goodness, because ram right now is just stupid priced). Some commenters mentioned something on the disks. Will now proceed with this lead
The reason I suspected temps was I changed very recently to a define r6 (got it second hand). And since the start I am a bit suspicious of how it performs thermally (terms of sound is actually quite OK).
I do have a fan on the drives but still one of the drives goes up to 40C still (even with front door open).
Also, when you talk about fsck, what could be good options for this to check the drive?
