This the second part of the log. Hope someone can tell me how to fix this. syslog-2012-10-07_2.txt

I had a 2T drive failed. So I replaced it with a 3T Drive. The New 3T drive was precleared with another server as my main server cannot preclear any disk greater than 2T, because the Gdisk function dose not work. I have used 5 different 3T drives and after rebuilding I still get the reball. I attach the log for the last disk that I have tried.On all the drives I get this Oct 7 20:59:00 Tower kernel: sda1: rw=1, want=4294967296, limit=4294967295 (Drive related) Oct 7 20:59:00 Tower kernel: attempt to access beyond end of device Oct 7 20:59:00 Tower kernel: sda1: rw=1, want=4294967304, limit=4294967295 (Drive related) How can I increase the blocks. or is there a way to fix this. This happened to all my 5 3T disk that I have tried. These 5 disk I can mount and format them in the spare server with no problem. I also tried to relpace the failed 2T disk with a new 2T disk but the server says the drive was too small. I a m running unRAID Server Pro version: 5.0-rc6-r8168-test2 Can I just yank the drive out. I have transferred all the data out to another disk outside of the server. syslog-2012-10-07_1.txt

Finally my 3T parity disk was mounted with no errors. I followed this thread http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=22265.0 by Hoopster and thanks to Joe. My usb boot stick had the same problem like Hoopster the gdisk does not work. I have to install unRaid on a new usb stick and use it to preclear my 3T drive. I tried to rename this thread "Solved" but I don't know how to do it. Can a Mod please do it for me thanks

Thanks everyone for helping out. I think my troubles with the 3T drives is with my motherboard. I do not think that it supports 3T drives in an unRaid server. I will be changing the motherboard.Can anyone please let me know if this mother board support 3T drives in an unRaid server, ASRock B75 PRO3-M LGA 1155 Intel B75 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard. http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157329&RandomID=338509923310224720120923025359 Thanks.

This is my 3rd 3T drive that have failed the parity syn. I have 6 more to try. Maybe my motherboard is the problem. Motherboard is a MSI P67A G43 with the latest 5.3 bios firmware 8 gig mem. and a Celeron processor. 2 Supermicro 5in3 cage and supermicro AOC saslp MV8 card. Can someone pls let me know if my problem is the mother board. I have no problem with 2T drives. I am on unRAID Server Pro version: 5.0-rc6-r8168-test Preclear_and_parity_sync_ST3000DM001-1CH166_Z1F0XRQS_sdg_2930266532.txt

Hi pantner thanks for the quick response. I changed the SATA/Power connectors as suggested I started the server up and now I have a green button on the parity disk and parity is checking. Started Stop will take the array off-line. Parity-Check in progress. Cancel will stop the Parity-Check. Correct any Parity-Check errors by writing the Parity disk with corrected parity. Total size: 3 TB Current position: 56.17 GB (2%) Estimated speed: 104.95 MB/sec Estimated finish: 468 minutes Sync errors corrected: 193 I did preclear the disk and it was ok.

I tried to mount a parity disk Seagate 3T ST3000DM001-1CH166_Z1F0XRQS (sdb) 2930266532. After about 8 Hours I get the result that Parity not valid. Can some experts bpls check the attached log and advice me what to do to rectify this. Thanks syslog-2012-09-17_Pariiy_Disk.txt

moose to fix your Seagate ST3000DM001-9YN166_W1F067ZV, type = SATA 3.0, firmware = CC46 you need to update your FW to CC4H which you can download from seagate

Thank you for the quick responce. unRAID Server Pro version: 5.0-rc6-r8168-test Preclear ver 1.13 Hd Seagate st3000M001 FW CC4B 7200rpm Attached is my preclear log. How long does it takes to format a 3T drive on the unRaid server? system : MSI motherboard.
