  1. Can I check if you have a problem obtaining SMART status from drives connected to this card too?
  2. You may check out my previous thread below for reference. The IDE interface can be useful if it is implemented on a separate bus from the PCI one. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=4285.0
  3. Just wondering if there's an update on this? Have the changes in the sastest version made it to 4.5.4? No reply from Limetech to my emails...
  4. The card is recognized by 4.5.3 and the drives do show up in the menu for assignment. However, I am getting a "HDIO_GET_IDENTITY" error in the syslogs and I am unable to run both smartctl and hdparm on the drives connected to the card. Is this also the same behavior for the sastest version?
  5. Hey guys, I just got a LSI 3041X-R. Emailed Limetech for the sastest version but no response for the last 2 weeks. Any kind soul here can upload a copy somewhere for me to download? Thanks in advance!
  6. Tried back both 4.5 and 4.5.1 and works perfectly. Read about the write speed improvements in 4.5.3 and disappointed cannot upgrade...
  7. Just upgraded from 4.5 to 4.5.3. Everything boots fine except that UnRAID can no longer read the GUID of my USB key properly so server boots up as Basic edition and only 3 drives are shown... Read that there were some changes to the way the GUID is read..could this have affected me?
  8. That's what I thought....but just needed to hear someone else say it... Thanks Joe!
  9. I use my unRAID box about 2-3 times a week. In the long run, is it better to sleep/suspend my box or turn it off until I need it. For power savings, turning it off will better of course but will it be better for the harddisks if I sleep/suspend so that they do not have to power cycle so often?
  10. Hi Joe, Just had a chance to try the latest version with a few new hdds. If I do the verification of zeros, post-read speed drops to 28-30 mb/s. If I use the -N option, post-read speed is 60-65 mb/s (same as pre-read). So essentially, it is taking 100% longer for me if I do the verification of zeros. Is there anything wrong that I'm doing?
  11. This is great stuff and I didn't even have to try any linux commands... Unfortunately, my time is tied up with a seminar until tomorrow so can only do some serious testing this weekend...can't wait...
  12. For ease of use and testing, I will consolidate all ISOs in a single folder. Ideally, it should list all the ISOs in the single folder I have fixed/designated. Then allow me to choose one to be mounted. For a start, it will be enough to be able to mount one ISO at a given time. Both the mount-point and shared name can be fixed in this case. Hoping that I can do it eventually using a web interface similar to un-sharing and un-mounting drives using Disk Mgt in unMenu. I'm a sucker for experimentation. Bring it on!
  13. I have quite a few ISO files on my unRAID servers. However, I do have an old media player that can only play VOB files. Is there anyway I can mount the ISO file using unMenu and then share it out? Either through a script or some other means...appreciate the help!
  14. Hi Joe, Just a quick query. If I use the pre-clear script to exercise a few old HDDs, can I still use the disks in a Windows-based system after that? As in, I will be able to just partition as per normal using Windows Disk Management or some other third party tool right?
