  1. Copying from where to where? Soory about that, I want to copy data to the array from an old sata laptop harddrive. It's a 320 Gb drive So I thought esata will be faster than usb2. but it less than 1 MB/s. If you are doing the copy from a windows machine then what is happening is the data is copied from the unRAID server's esata drive to Windows and then back to the unRAID array. That copy speed will be governed by your network speed primarily. SNAP mounts and shares the drive. It's the linux OS and the hardware that handles the rest. If you telnet into the unRAID server and test copy from drive to drive you can figure out if it's the network / Windows round trip that's slowing it down.
  2. This surpasses my knowledge of Linux. Is this easy to explain how to do? Are there instructions anywhere? I'll try to come up with some bash code for making a nfs connection between unRAID and another linux (or a second unRAID) machine.
  3. A bit of an adventure. When a new drive has been plugged in then the serial number will automatically appear in the grid. But in the case when you want to add a serial number for a drive that hasn't been plugged in yet, I think I'm going to need to include a tool tip explaining how much of the drive's serial number is to be entered. I'll add that to my todo list. As far as the stuff disappearing...by deleting the share and then making a new one can easily cause Windows (the client in this case I believe) to get confused for a little bit thinking the old share still exists and not yet noticing the new share.
  4. I'd like to get a copy of the scripts. Sent from my SPH-M900 using Tapatalk
  5. The motherboard has been solid, not a single issue. It's been a solid budget motherboard for me, good quality. Sent from my SPH-M900 using Tapatalk
  6. Looks like there's a new line missing from part way through the last line... This makes more sense... /boot/unmenu/uu /boot/config/snap/snap.sh -b Hi. Yeah SNAP appends to the go file and isn't expecting the missing newline in yours. SNAP doesn't have any way to do nfs connections. But you could add bash code in the after_share event to make the nfs connection. Sent from my SPH-M900 using Tapatalk
  7. In what way was the share affected?
  8. I'll give it a try. I just wasn't sure whether to follow the SAS2008 chipset steps since I have a SAS9220-8i. In this situation I felt it better to get explicit confirmation that it has been tried first. So thanks for that. I'll report my results.
  9. The serial number window issue should be fixed by re-installing the plugin using the same plg file you have. Let me know if the "grid stays empty" continues after re-installing. Thanks.
  10. Thanks billy_rud10 for identifying the problem. I've updated my build scripts and re-built the plugin. The plg file itself didn't change so just re-installing the plugin should get the new build. Thanks prostuff1. Your comment is appreciated. Again, thanks for helping me beat the bugs out of my build scripts.
  11. NOTE: The new version is now available here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18046.msg162098#msg162098 1. Download the Snap-5.0beta-noarch-1.plg.zip Snap-5.0-1.plg.zip(below) and unzip it. 2. Place it in /boot/config/plugins Example: In windows you can use file explorer to copy the .plg file to your unraid machine here: \\tower\flash\config\plugins 3. Then telnet into your unRAID server and type this command to install the plugin (or just reboot): installplg /boot/config/plugins/Snap-5.0-1.plg 4. After it installs you should be able to run the web page. Open a browser to this address and click the SNAP button. //tower/Settings Edit: 2/6/2012: New plugin file uploaded. EDIT 2/12/2012: New plugin file uploaded (Snap-5.0-1.plg) The new version of SNAP has a button for installing updates so hopefully this plugin will be good for quite a while. Make sure you remove the old SNAP plugin that had "beta" in it's filename. The new installer can't install correctly over the prior beta version - so please rename your /boot/config/plugins/snap folder before installing this new version. You can copy snap.list and the snapEvent* files from the old folder to the new folder after installing. Sorry for the inconvenience, updates will be much easier going forward. This plugin also handles auto-reinstalling every time you boot. I'm not sure if I mentioned that I mainly use Firefox and Chrome. I haven't done any testing in IE. If anyone must use IE then you will have to help me test it to see what doesn't work.
  12. Hmm, that is the project folder I use in my development. Are you saying that the installed files are linking back to that folder on your machine? I'll look at the way I'm creating my tar archive.
  13. As the LSI SAS9220-8i, you just update to latest from LSI (12 from Nov2011). Do I still need to do the magarec clearing first? I'm asking that because the sas2flsh.exe -listall finds no adapter in two mobo's so far. Even though I see the cards bios during boot up and can go into it. You sure it is LSI SAS9220-8i? I got one from NationSurplus labeled like that, but it was really an IBM M1015. Look above port 0 for sticker with FRU number. It is a LSI SAS9220-8i rebadged as an M1015. It was sold as an M1015 from ServerSupply.com

  15. There are 8GB sticks but they are double++ the price. Example: http://www.provantage.com/kingston-technology-kvr1333d3e9sk2-16g~7KIN91M7.htm 8G UDIMMS are not available yet, the above link reads special order and Kingston says; Availability: Approx:4/18/12 Try here: Memory4less But it doesn't really matter if they are out of stock in some places unless you have a high pain threshold because they cost so much. 8GB Unregistered ECC sticks haven't been used much so they aren't produced in large enough quantities to get the cost down. In about a year you will see them much cheaper. Intel seems to like creating a demand for expensive memory.
  16. Use these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820139262&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Memory+(Server+Memory)-_-Kingston+Technology+Corp.-_-20139262 There are 8GB sticks but they are double++ the price.

  17. Hmm, I'm not clear on which firmware to flash the LSI SAS9220-8i with. Can someone link to it or specifiy exactly which/where it is? Yes, I know about the sticky in the HardDrives and Controllers section. It doesn't mention the SAS9220-8i while it does mention the M1015 (but they all have different chipsets). Thanks.
  18. NOTE: The new version is available here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=18046.msg162098#msg162098 **NEW** version of SNAP for unRAID 5.0beta. I have tested it entirely on 5.0beta13 (for no specific reason). It likely works on later versions of unRAID. Note: This version doesn't run on unRAID 4.7. 1. Download the Snap-5.0beta-noarch-1.txt (below) and change the .txt to .plg 2. Place the Snap-5.0beta-noarch-1.plg file in /boot/config/plugins Example: In windows you can use file explorer to copy the .plg file to your unraid machine here: \\tower\flash\config\plugins 3. Then telnet into your unRAID server and type this command to install the plugin (or just reboot): installplg /boot/config/plugins/Snap-5.0beta-noarch-1.plg 4. After it installs you should be able to run the web page. Open a browser to this address and click the SNAP button. //tower/Settings The SNAP page has 3 tabs. One to configure shares, one to view log files if needed, and one that will allow you to edit the SnapEvents.sh file to add code for syncing files and that sort of thing. SNAP's main feature is to automatically mount and share devices as you plug them in. Cheers. Edit: The grid will display all the drive devices currently plugged in, and any that have shares but aren't currently plugged in. You can edit the share name by clicking on the cell with the share name in it. You can add new serial numbers even if the drive isn't currently plugged in. The grid doesn't currently auto-refresh, after plugging in a new device you will have to refresh the page to see the change in the grid. Also, when refreshing the page, the state of the Info and Events tabs are not preserved (eventually the will be). Edit again: I updated the plugin application in google code at 1/23/2012 11:45PM. The plg file has not changed. Fixed a bug. Newly added shares weren't getting mounted/shared. Now they will. I'll be continuing to make small changes and will post them. Edit again again: I modified the install directions above for better readability.
  19. Originally that wasn't the main purpose but turned out to be a nice benefit.
  20. I've added a new "Atlas" model to my server line up with custom configuration. As always, your requests for custom changes are welcomed. http://queegtech.3dcartstores.com/The-Atlas_p_75.html
  21. I am currently using the Kingston MobileLite G2 reader with an 8GB microSD card/SD adapter. I purchased it just last week and it has a unique GUID (not the generic GUID mentioned above). It works great. I got mine from Amazon. Maybe the generic GUID readers are old stock and some sources still have those? Or, almost as likely, some are "real" Kingston brand with unique GUIDs, and others counterfeit fake copies, with generic chips. Unfortunately, I've heard there is a lot of counterfeit flash drives and flash memory on the market. I did the original research to find the Kingston MobileLite G2 because I wanted to be able to replace the flash chip if it failed and still have the same GUID. I've use dozens and I can say without question they all have been very reliable and do come with unique GUIDs. I use them exclusively with all my servers.
  22. These are the readers that I discovered and sell exclusively with my servers.
  23. The message is indicating no partition exists. When you run "ls /dev/disk/by-id" do you see an entry for that disk with a -part1 on the end? If not then the partition needs to be created, then a filesystem written to it. I think fdisk is the way to make a partition. You have the mkfs figured out it looks like.
  24. Yes, typically drives will spin down. I usually do it in unMenu as well.
