I will

Hmm, problem might be solved. Disconnected my 5 in 3 dock, and connected the disk directly. Now the preclear runs like a maniac(Between 140 and 180 MB/s) and up until now, no errors seen. That might bee the reason to all my problems!!! Thomas

No, just checked. It's mounted in slot 6, which is a X8 slot Thomas

Thanx Now(during preclear) im getting massive buffer I/O errors and drive not ready error on the drive. I expect that it's not normal. But why do i get those errors? Any ideas?

I understand that is a nice and need to have feature, but what i don't understand is why this script, not is a part of the build and why you can't start it using the standard web gui. For me, as a noob, this is not userfriendly. I need to read a lot in the forum, learn to install scripts and to use commandline in linux, just to setup my server. This is not what i was expecting. I thought this was an easy to use, fast and reliable server, which i could control 100% through the webgui. This is not that i'm not satisfied with unraid or the steep learningcurve, but it would be nice if it was more intuitive to use(Yes i'm a Windows user) Btw. I've downloaded the script and started a preclear on the drive inteded for the parity drive. Then it's just wait and see. I've also seen a smart test mentioned several times in this forum. How is that done?? Thomas

How come you have to preclear a disk before using it in unRaid, when the tool itself is not build in unRaid. For me it is not very intuitive.

You asked me, in this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20604.0 why i build an ESXI server. I've no particulary reason, other than i found it possible to passthrougt the M1015 controller, and i needed an windowsinstallation for my Mediaportal TV server installation. Instead of having several pc's turned on, i've only one now Thomas

No i did not preclear any drives. How do i do that?? Thomas

Hi I'm an absolute unRaid and linux Noob. Anyway, unRaid caught my interrest as it seemed like a good and stable mediaserver solution. Having read a lot in this forum, especially about the Atlas build i bought 2 pro licenses. Installing ESXI 5 on my Supermicro X9SCL motherboard, containing 1 M1015 Controller flashed with 9211-8i firmware in IT mode setup to passthrough in ESXI. Installed unRaid 5beta12 as used in the Atlas build. Installed 3 Seagate ST2000DL003(2 new, 1 used)as datadisks and started copying. But then the problems started When about 3 TB of data was copied i started getting write errors on one of the new disks. Tested the disk, in another pc using Seagates software. No errors. I the wiped it completely, inserted it in the unraid server, started copying again and everything went fine. No errors. I then wanted the Parity drive installed for safety. Installed a brand new Seagate ST2000DM001, started building parity, but after a short while it stopped with 384 write errors. I then read somewhere on this forum that some kernel driver could be a problem, and an upgrade to 5.0 RC3 should solve the problem. I then upgraded but the errors were still there after a rebuild. I the swapped to another brand new drive(same make and model) but the same errors. What to do next?? Included syslog from the last parity rebuild syslog.txt
