HDD Burn-In Test

Burn-In Testskript mit Badblocks

Skript performs these steps:

  1. Run SMART short test
  2. Run badblocks
  3. Run SMART extended test

Schritte:

  1. Skript (unten kopieren) auf Server (z.B. Proxmox) erstellen:
    cd /home/
    nano /home/burn-in.sh
  2. Skript als root ausführen mit tmux (https://tmuxcheatsheet.com/), damit Prozesse nach Schließen der Konsole erhalten bleiben
    1. Pro HDD ein tmux-Fenster
    2. Test-Run ohne Daten zu schreiben/überschreiben:
      sh burn-in.sh -b 4096 /dev/sdb
      #Blocksize -b 4096 sollte für HDDs bis 16TB reichen, falls Fehlermeldung blocksize auf -b 8192 erhöhen
    3. Full-Test, löscht alle Daten auf HDD!!!!
      sh burn-in.sh -b 4096 -f /dev/sdb
  3. Logfiles werden im selben Ordner erstellt und prüfen

Achtung: Bei FreeBSD Systemen (FreeNAS) folgenden Befehl ausführen, damit badblocks alle Sektoren schreiben darf:

"NAME
    $(basename "$0") -- disk burn-in program

SYNOPSIS
    $(basename "$0") [-h] [-b <block_size>] [-c <num_blocks>] [-e] [-f] [-o <directory>] [-x] <disk>

DESCRIPTION
    A script to simplify the process of burning-in disks. Only intended for use
    on disks which do not contain any data, such as new disks or disks which
    are being tested or re-purposed.

    The script runs in dry-run mode by default, so you can check the sleep
    durations and to insure that the sequence of commands suits your needs. In
    dry-run mode the script does not actually perform any SMART tests or invoke
    the sleep or badblocks programs.

    In order to perform tests on drives, you will need to provide the -f option.

OPTIONS
    -h                Show help text
    -e                Show extended help text
    -b <block_size>   Override block size (defaults to 8192)
    -c <num_blocks>   Override concurrent number of blocks tested
    -f                Force script to run in destructive mode
                      ALL DATA ON THE DISK WILL BE LOST!
    -o <directory>    Write log files to <directory> (default: $(pwd))
    -x                Run full pass of badblocks instead of exiting on first error
    <disk>            Disk to burn-in (/dev/ may be omitted)

EXAMPLES
    $(basename "$0") sda
                      run in dry-run mode on disk /dev/sda

    $(basename "$0") -f /dev/sdb
                      run in destructive, non-dry mode on disk /dev/sdb

    $(basename "$0") -f -o ~/burn-in-logs sdc
                      run in destructive, non-dry mode on disk /dev/sdc and
                      write the log files to ~/burn-in-logs directory
"
readonly USAGE_2=\
"EXIT STATUS
    exit 0:           script finishes successfully
    exit 2:           dependencies are missing
                      not running as 'root'
                      illegal options are provided

NOTES
    Be warned that:

        1> The script runs badblocks in destructive mode, which erases any data
           on the disk.

           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
           !!!!      ALL DATA ON THE DISK WILL BE LOST! BE CAREFUL!      !!!!
           !!!! DO NOT RUN THIS SCRIPT ON DISKS CONTAINING VALUABLE DATA !!!!
           !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        2> Run times for large disks can be several days. Use tmux or screen
           to test multiple disks in parallel.

        3> Must be run as 'root'.

        4> The script has the following dependencies:

           smartmontools, available at https://www.smartmontools.org
           Uses: grep, awk, sed, sleep, badblocks

    Performs this test sequence:

        1> Run SMART short test
        2> Run badblocks
        3> Run SMART extended test

    The script sleeps after starting each SMART test, using a duration based on
    the polling interval reported by the disk, after which the script will poll
    the disk to verify the self-test has completed.

    Full SMART information is pulled after each SMART test. All output except
    for the sleep command is written to both stdout and the log.

    You should monitor the burn-in progress and watch for errors, particularly
    any errors reported by badblocks, or these SMART errors:

          5 Reallocated_Sector_Ct
        196 Reallocated_Event_Count
        197 Current_Pending_Sector
        198 Offline_Uncorrectable

    These indicate possible problems with the drive. You therefore may wish to
    abort the remaining tests and proceed with an RMA exchange for new drives or
    discard old ones. Please note that this list is not exhaustive.

    The script extracts the drive model and serial number and forms a log file-
    name of the form 'burnin-[model]_[serial number].log'.

    badblocks is invoked with a block size of 8192, the -wsv options, and the
    -o option to instruct it to write the list of bad blocks found (if any) to
    a file named 'burnin-[model]_[serial number].bb'.

    Before using the script on FreeBSD systems (including FreeNAS) you must
    first execute this sysctl command to alter the kernel's geometry debug
    flags. This allows badblocks to write to the entire disk:

        sysctl kern.geom.debugflags=0x10

    Also note that badblocks may issue the following warning under FreeBSD /
    FreeNAS, which can safely be ignored as it has no effect on testing:

        set_o_direct: Inappropiate ioctl for device

    Tested operating systems:

        FreeNAS 9.10.2 (FreeBSD 10.3-STABLE)
        FreeNAS 11.1-U7 (FreeBSD 11.1-STABLE)
        FreeNAS 11.2-U8 (FreeBSD 11.2-STABLE)

VERSIONS
    Written by Keith Nash, March 2017

    KN, 8 Apr 2017:
        Added minimum test durations because some devices don't return accurate
        values.
        Added code to clean up the log file, removing copyright notices, etc.
        No longer echo 'smartctl -t' output to log file as it imparts no useful
        information.
        Emit test results after tests instead of full 'smartctl -a' output.
        Emit full 'smartctl -x' output at the end of all testing.
        Minor changes to log output and formatting.

    KN, 12 May 2017:
        Added code to poll the disk and check for completed self-tests.

        As noted above, some disks don't report accurate values for the short
        and extended self-test intervals, sometimes by a significant amount.
        The original approach using 'fudge' factors wasn't reliable and the
        script would finish even though the SMART self-tests had not completed.
        The new polling code helps insure that this doesn't happen.

        Fixed code to work around annoying differences between sed's behavior
        on Linux and FreeBSD.

    KN, 8 Jun 2017
        Modified parsing of short and extended test durations to accommodate the
        values returned by larger drives; we needed to strip out the '(' and ')'
        characters surrounding the integer value in order to fetch it reliably.

    KN, 19 Aug 2020
        Changed DRY_RUN value so that dry runs are no longer the default
        setting.
        Changed badblocks call to exit immediately on first error.
        Set logging directory to current working directory using pwd command.
        Reduced default tests so that we run:
            1> Short SMART test
            2> badblocks
            3> Extended SMART test

    MS, 9 Sep 2020
        Add .editorconfig to streamlime editor behavior for developers.
        Remove dependencies on pcregrep and tr.
        Add documentation to functions and complex statements.
        Reduce code duplication, simplify and decouple code where possible.
        Improve portability and resiliency.
        Check availability of dependencies during runtim.
        Check for root privileges during runtime.
        Add option parsing, most notably (-h)elp and -f for non-dry-run mode.
        Add dry_run_wrapper() function.
        Add disk type detection to skip badblocks for non-mechanical drives.

    KN, 5 Oct 2020
        Added -x option to control the badblocks -e option, allowing extended testing.
        Added smartctl to the list of dependencies.
        Changed disk type detection so that we assume all drives are mechanical drives
        unless they explicitly return 'Solid State Drive' for Rotational Rate.
        Removed datestamp from every line of log output, only emitting it in log headers.
        Minor reformatting.

    KY, 30 May 2022
        Added -b & -c options to control respective badblocks options."
