I use btrfs on my main computer (arch+gnome) no problems at all. On the other hand my work laptop (same model) has had w7 die twice with a corrupt ntfs partition.

My esxi box is always on. I even have my router on that thing so turning it off is a big no no

If you are using xbmc then the subtitles plugin is awesome and much better than working with out of sync subs. Just map the subtitles plugin to your remote (via keymap.xml) and have the plugin automatically download the first sync subtitles.

Yeah at least on 5.1 you would get the pink screen of death if the hack was not used.

Just mount it: mkdir /mnt/recovery mount /dev/sdX /mnt/recovery *where x is the name of the drive

badblocks is still running.. but now the same drive has 0 Current_Pending_Sector and 0 Offline_Uncorrectable I really hope someone can give me some insight here. My plan now is to see what happens with badblocks and then maybe another preclear. What do you guys think. The new smart check is attached: smart2.txt

Hey guys Just wanted to get your expert advice on a failed preclear. It's a Seagate 3tb Backup plus that I opened and put in my server. A little backstory. I'm running Esxi with Unraid as a guest using both saslp-mv8 and m1015 passed through. Recently I doubled the Esxi memory (Unraid still rocking 2gb) and added the m1015. After the upgrade I did a Parity-check that went really smooth and today I wanted to pre-clear the new drive. The syslog has been attached. After this happened my array was fine except from the new drive. I could not run a smart test or talk to it in any way. After a reboot I could get a smart test which is attached I noticed that before the preclear the drive had no Current_Pending_Sector or Offline_Uncorrectable. But after the reboot I can see 8 of each. Since Its not a part of the array yet I'm not that worried.. but it would be nice to hear what you guys think. Hopefully I can still RMA it (if it's broken) considering it was an external drive and It was shipped to me on vacation in the US but now I'm back home in Europe Just for fun I'm currently running "badblocks -wvsb 4096 /dev/sdk" on the broken drive.. but to be fair I don't know what thats is going to tell me Thanks Sys_smart.zip

But yours was fixed by just changing the port number in the VMX file, or did the problem persist? Was it the PSOD? Yes it was PSOD and it was fixed for good

Haha had the same problem when I rebuilt my server and the mv hack was not valid (port # changed)

Sabnzbd should repair them fine. Maybe runninn a old version of sab that did not support the obfuscated names? If you want to run the tools on the server just use the commandline. par2 v name.par2 and unrar x name.rar

Run a smart test - see the wiki guide

You can use rsync and cron. You just have to mount the usb drive and it can be done easily via the go script. This should get you started with the backup: http://www.jveweb.net/en/archives/2011/02/using-rsync-and-cron-to-automate-incremental-backups.html This should help you with mounting the usb and have i linked to a guide that helps you mount using the partition name instead of /dev/sdx which should future proof your go script: http://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/rhel-centos-debian-fedora-mount-partition-label/

Well to be fair the drives are actually failing, but only because of insufficient power from the sub par psu.

Great to hear. I had the same problems but after a psu upgrade I have been running without any issues for 10 days now. And believe me I have been torturing the server trying to make it fail

Smb is really easy, no problems with permissions and even though nfs is faster is does not matter with media playback imo.

Exciting to hear what happens

I had a nightmare last week with random disks disconnecting and red balling. I almost drove myself insane changing cables, but after ruling everything else out I bought a proper psu (corsair gold 750w) and now everything is perfect. 3 par checks with 5 other vms in esxi running and no problems.

Can you mount the drive via the commandline?

Long way to go and mysql would not be ripped out right away.. If at all

I did that in virtualbox before i went with esxi. Just use the unraid virtualbox plugin, install ubuntu server and use the xbmc minified as a server guide on the xbmc forums.

Can't you run them one after the other? If I recall correctly it runs the test in the background

I rma as soon as i see some problems.. I would not trust the drive after some failures and would always have a bad feeling at the back of my mind

Can i achieve that with RDM? I´m using the same motherboard and it´s working fine with a pass-through saslp-mv8 (after buying a new i5 processor with vt-d) You can run the 5 disks via RDM but it´s a bit of a hassle. Can i get Temperature and Smartreadings via RDM? Not via RDM Can i put my HDDs to sleep? not via RDM

Yeah it will make virtualbox run headless and you can even start / stop vms from the plugin. You will need to follow the installation here for your computer https://code.google.com/p/phpvirtualbox/wiki/Installation Then you need to edit the config file from this: /* SOAP URL of vboxwebsrv (not phpVirtualBox's URL) */ var $location = 'http://127.0.0.1:18083/'; to the ip address of your unraid. So if you are running unraid on 192.168.1.100 you need to make it like this: /* SOAP URL of vboxwebsrv (not phpVirtualBox's URL) */ var $location = 'http://192.168.1.100:18083/';

My guess is that the mover is copying files from cache to the protected array. I would keep the setting files under /mnt/cache/.apps/ the dot makes mover ignore the folder. Ps you can change the api key manually in sab, less hassle than in all other apps
