[v. 3.2.9] I cannot access "Administration => Storage / Disks"

[Laurent-91290]

Hello.

Since version 3.2.9, I cannot access "Administration => Storage / Disks" on my physical PBS server.
It was ok with 3.2.8 and before.

Error : Bad Request (400) command "smartctl" "-H" "-A" "-j" "/dev/sdc" failed - status code: 1 - no error message

My disks :

root@pbs:~# lsblk

sdc 8:32 1 0B 0 disk

This does not look correct, I believe. Try to check that disk.

Does journalctl -b 0 --grep sdc show error messages? Does smartctl -A /dev/sdc work?

I would not be surprised if that disk (what type/model is it?) just died... the way cheap SSD do (or did in the past).

Thx for your response.

I never had a disk sdc. I only have 2 disks : sda (for the PBS install) and sdb (for my backup repository). So no drive has died.

It feels like with version 3.2.9, having a "entry" sdc without a disk attached to it cause an error.

Here are the logs

root@pbs:~# journalctl  -b 0 --grep sdc

/dev/sdc: Unknown USB bridge

Looks like once there was an USB stick or an external enclosure (or a phone or a camera or a pvr or ... ) connected.

Unfortunately I can not tell you how to get rid of these artifacts, sorry. Maybe someone else can chime in...
