Nimbostratusdisk errors, how to determine which slot
I recently uploaded a qkview file into iHeatlh and found out there were several errors in the logs concerning disk /dev/sdb.
Below the messages reported in iHealth.
Errors were found for the following devices: /dev/sdb
Additional Information The /var/log/kern.log.1_transformed file contains 18 '{ DRDY ERR }' messages.
daemon.log:
crit smartd[4902]: Device: /dev/sdb, 1 Currently unreadable (pending) sectors
According to iHealth we needed to RMA the disk, which we did and we received a new disk.
The problem now is how can we determine in which slot the disk /dev/sdb is located.
We tried several linux commands from the CLI but couldn't find a relation between sdb and slot or serial nr.
Who's knows how to find out which disk to pull?
