Yep, remember this is Windows. To be expected. That's why unraid doesn't run on windows.

You may need to compile a kernel or at least a new driver for it. I personally find it hard to believe that the sata controller on your board isn't supported in linux yet but googling around I keep finding posts from 2007 where people were never able to get it working. That marvel driver in the kernel doesn't specifically list 88SE614x as a supported chipset either. BUT, I was looking at buying a marvel daughterboard for my mini itx system that uses the same class of chipset that yours has (88SE6145) and they have a driver you can download for it. Look for the ADPE4S sata board and with it there is a linux driver link. You would have to compile the driver for your kernel though. I can try if you want. Just let me know what kernel version or unraid version you are using. Too bad, that's a lot of nice sata ports you have there.

hmm, ok. Do it again then type "dmesg". If you can, post the last few lines you see after typing that command. If the driver loaded and found the sata controller it should list some info there on what it found.

Well if you are not going to try our suggestions here how can you hope to resolve it? What did "modprobe sata_mv" do? Did it load the driver and allow your drives to show up? It isn't a resolution but at least you will know if you have the correct driver.

Dang! Just after I bought that seagate for $89 at Frys. This amazon one doesn't add tax either and shipping is free with saver. Anyone know how long the warranty on these are? I'm guessing 3 years. Should I return or not? Decisions, decisions....

Can you "modprobe sata_mv" in a telnet session? But my guess is that the unraid kernel doesn't contain a driver for your board.

Can anyone out there tell me if some manufacturers name the temperature field differently than "Temperature_Celsius"? I installed a new seagate drive and it was returning two temperature fields when I was just searching for "Temperature" by its self so I had to modify my script to look for the whole "Temperature_Celsius". If anyone has other manufacturers like samsung or hitachi (anything other than WD or seagate) it would be a great help if you could run the following command against those drives and verify if the temperature field is labeled as "Temperature_Celsius" or not. "smartctl -d ata -A /dev/sdX" (without quotes and where X is the drive leter, ie a, b, c and so on) You can find out which drive it is from the devices tab of the unraid web interface. You will see something like (sdb) right before the drive serial number. This command is not dangerous at all, just returns smart fields and may spin up some drives to get it, that's it. The temperature field is usually number 194 but not always. Thanks for any help. It will help to make this script work for any drive.

Holy thread necromancy, Batman!

Are you sure they are completely gone in the newer version of unraid and not just disabled in the web interface because they are in different locations then they used to be? I was testing unraid 4.5.1 with some old ide drives and it found them just fine. Check the devices tab and see if they are listed there at all. Of course, it could also be a missing ide driver in the newer version of unraid.

The kernel (at least going by the config included in unraid 4.5.1) doesn't have cpu frequency scaling enabled at all. So your cpu, even though it supports it, will always run at full speed.

I stoped by Frys yesterday and they had the Seagate 1.5TB drives on sale for $89.99. Said it just started yesterday (Friday) so they had tons of them. I usually don't go for Seagate as I have always had problems with them but this is a pretty good price and these drives have a 5 year warranty. It's also not a bare drive so it comes with sata and data cables and manual and screws. http://www.frys-electronics-ads.com/ads/2010/03/26/47301/Seagate-1-5TB-Serial-ATA-300-Hard-Drive

Yeah but some people don't want a 4U Server chassis. At $160 before shipping I hardly call that "not more expensive". Besides, I don't know why you are even comparing this to a hot swap cage. This server isn't even hot swap at all. Completely different case for completely different requirements.

You need to just write a udev rule to take action when certain things are plugged in. I am thinking of doing it so if I plug in a usb drive unraid will mount the drive, then automatically copy its contents over to unraid in a dated backup directory and then unmount the drive again. Will be easy with a udev rule, just need to learn how to write the correct one.

I guess it really doesn't matter. But if you put it so the latches and LEDs are at the bottom then it seems to be a little easier to insert the trays. The edge of the tray with the LEDs is a little longer so it makes sense to set it in on that edge and guide the tray in that way.

YES.

Nice picture. I decided to get this one as well and I love it. Yours are upside down though, or at least the screw holes didn't match up when I tried mine that way. Do you know anything about the one jumper inside? I unplugged the fan and already replaced it with a different one so the jumper setting must not apply to any fan settings. Must be to disable or enable the over temp buzzer.

I don't think there is a way to clone a flash drive. There would be no point in locking unraid to one if that was the case. Also a note about Lexar usb sticks. I have had two die on me for no apparent reason back in 2004 or 2005 and personally vowed to never buy a Lexar product again. Maybe contact Limetech about the issue.

Let us know here, I'm curious. If only I had gotten up half an hour ago!

They must have fixed it

I just checked the unraid kernel config and it does not have ext3 or even ext4 enabled. Shame. I can compile the module for you if you want to try it.

Go to the devices tab and assign all your drives to a data slot but leave the parity unassigned. Then go back to the main page and see if any show as unformatted. If so then that one is probably the parity drive. Then just go back to the devices page and assign that "unformatted" drive as the parity drive instead and the last drive you haven't touched as the data drive. If they all show up as data drives and none show as unformatted the first time then you probably got it right. Just do not press the restore or format buttons at any time. Actually, from the screenshot just pay attention to what drive it is listing as parity. It says it is missing but it is probably what you used to have as the parity drive. Go to the devices page and pick the same drive as parity. In fact, just assign all drives to match that page and it should be correct.

That daughter board is only for jetway m-itx boards with a special daughter board connector. go with pci or pci-e That's what I have, a Jetway mini itx board. So if I got this card it would leave the one pci slot free for something else. Though it doesn't really matter. Also, regarding the card not running at 66mhz, it is the only card inserted so it must just be the motherboard not supporting 33mhz I guess.

Here is an lspci of my current card that I want to replace with a 4 port one. Does that mean this card supports 66mhz? Now I just have to go check my bios to see if it does as well. Can't find anything about it in the manual for this motherboard (NC92). 02:01.0 RAID bus controller: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20371 (FastTrak S150 TX2plus) (rev 02) Subsystem: Promise Technology, Inc. PDC20371 (FastTrak S150 TX2plus) Flags: bus master, 66MHz, medium devsel, latency 96, IRQ 16 I/O ports at ef00 [size=64] I/O ports at ee00 [size=16] I/O ports at ed00 [size=128] Memory at fdcff000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K] Memory at fdcc0000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K] Expansion ROM at fdb00000 [disabled] [size=64K] Capabilities: [60] Power Management version 2 Kernel driver in use: sata_promise Kernel modules: sata_promise EDIT: I don't think it supports 66mhz. I set the bios to "autodetect PCI Clock" and it keeps it set at 33mhz. EDIT2: Maybe this would be a better option for my board. Just found it, 4 sata ports on the riser card. Might have to compile a kernel module though. Don't know if this would be faster than a pci card or not though.

I'm looking for a sata pci card as well for my mini itx build. I need 4 ports though. Would it be worth it getting a sata II 4 port card or is a sata 1 card enough because of the slow pci bus? terrastrife sense you mentioned a tx4 card, are they the best? I found this promise tx4 sata I card which is affordable. Or am I better off getting the sata II version of this card? Also, are these cards bootable? Can one of the hard drives be set as the boot device? My current 2 port card will not boot when the bios is set to boot off board cards first.

Woohoo! Got the new fan today and installed it into my unraid. This script works perfect! I had an issue with crontab at first but I must have had a typo in the crontab. Did a couple reboots and everything is working. The script runs every three minutes from cron and changes fan speed when heeded. No need for any special front panel display.
