I'm getting drive errors on one of the SSD drives in the database server. Going to remote unmount it and fsck it and see if that fixes it..
Not been having much luck with hardware recently.

Think I need a miracle It's not responding so it's going to be down for a while. I do have one spare SSD which I'll plug in over the weekend when I get home and see what can be done.
Does the server work with a Raid so there is a backup copy ?
RAID slows it down too much and it's not that great with SSD's anyway.
I do my own custom replication instead. Backups are on separate drives. This is the web facing database anyway which is read only, so it's 'mostly' duplicated from the main one. Means it gets LOTS of writes though and I guess it's finally taken it's toll.
Have you looked into the pciE drives at all there faster and have more capacity
A write-caching program can cut down on writes by an order of magnitude or more. I have used both FancyCache (Romex Software) and PerfectCache 5.0 (Raxco), and they both give very good results for limiting the writes to my SSD when I run the CEP2 project on World Community Grid. Writes will typically go from 80 GB/day down to less than 1 GB/day, but that depends a lot on the statistics of what you are doing of course, and the size of the DRAM cache you set.
FancyCache is currently in Beta (free 90 day trial), and PefectCache 5.0 is $80 (30 day free trial), but well worth it if you have the right situation.
I only got home a few hours ago after travelling overnight, afraid to look at it right now when I'm still so tired. I *think* statstool is gone unless I can recover the drive though as well as a few other things, possibly historical miestones too. It looks like the backups were failing for the last 10 days or so and I didn't get warned. I only keep last 5 days.
looks like it got your Sig to
Well if you need off line storage
I have over 20 Terabytes of open space here
Stats on the Main Page are totally Boked errr Borked lol this morning ...
Amazingly, when I woke up this morning. A 2nd SSD is exhibiting exactly the same behavior as the last one.
Its not the new one I put in, but surely this can't be a coincidence? And more likely points to a motherboard problem. I do not know what to do a this stage. I have one more SSD I could cannibalize from anoter machine, but my head tells me the machine itself is a problem now. I'll plug in the first failed SSD to another linux machine and see if it exhibits any errors at all.
Yeah Bok, Have to say that is pointing at a H/ware controller error - shame you don't got an SATA PCI card see if it's the controller or the whole mobo...

I have some time to help.....
I need a new laptop,but who needs a laptop when you have a phone...
Now to remember my old computer specs..
Can you boot to DOS off a flopy and run scandisk
linux has it's own version - fsck which is running now, but if it's a controller that's causing it, fsck won't know.
I guess it's none of the obvious things like the PSU being underrated, or going on the blink and over/under voltaging the drives?
Don't know if the RAM could be casuing stange problems. Have had a few oddities of the years that were RAM related.
If it helps, I could ship you my old Sinclair ZX81 and/or my Nascom-1
Al.
Bok These are SATA Drives Right
On a quad here that has a SATA SSD it would every 2 to 3 days just stop
rebooted OK with a scandisk
I found the drive controller chip and glued a old VGA chip cooler to it
and it has not crashed since
Find your drive/sata chip put your finger on in if feels hot try this
on a norm it is right next to the SATA ports
Hmm I should check mine, i get a click every so often from a drive but I got a fan on 'em ...
