[Solved: Array reports unformatted drive]

Can you mount the drive via the commandline?

[XBMC server mode in unraid]

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

[XBMC server mode in unraid]

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.

[UnRAID on VMWare ESXi with Raw Device Mapping]

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

[running VM Windows 7 on the cache drive]

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/';

You could look into owncloud

[UnRAID 5.0-rc11 issue with Sabnzbd, CouchPotato and Sick Bear]

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

[VirtualBox Plugin for unRAID v5 and v6]

You can run a webserver (apache for example) on your pc/laptop and run phpvirtualbox from there.

[running VM Windows 7 on the cache drive]

You can keep phpvirtualbox on your computer but in the config file you have to point to your unraid ip

[Moving apps from unRaid guest own VM]

I also use ubuntu server and moved the data dirs of all the apps to that. Then I just changed the config files a bit, but it was just a fun project. Its nice to run a stock unraid.. Dont really need to worry about that at all now

[unRAID Server Release 5.0-rc12 Available]

You would not. Just unassign as cache and rebuild the failed drive to it.

[One of my Drives has a red icon]

In the latest unraid 5 versions it matches it automatically so no stess there

[54 errors, 1 par check error]

Will do. Thanks

[54 errors, 1 par check error]

Strange did another nocorrect check and now it did not find any errors.

Strange

[54 errors, 1 par check error]

Thanks for the super quick reply

 

It´s a brand new drive so i´m in denial that it´s broken already. But If that is the case i´ll just have to RMA it

 

Are you talking about this line in the seek time (I´m no so great at reading these.)?

  7 Seek_Error_Rate        0x000f  060  060  030    Pre-fail  Always      -      1083621

 

But after the next nocorrect check finishes should I compare the errors and if they match I can just do a correcting par check?

 

Thanks again for the quick reply

[54 errors, 1 par check error]

Hey guys

 

I just added 2x 3tb drives to my array last month and now my first par check finished this morning.

 

I have 54 errors on disk 11 (sdj - one of the new drives) and got this from the par check "Last checked on Fri Mar 1 09:36:44 2013 UTC, finding 1 errors."

 

I have a couple of these in the log

A smart check of the drive can be found here: http://pastebin.com/epHRRsg9

 

What should my next steps be? I have started another par check and hopefully this was just a one off

 

It´s a new drive and even though it passed the smart check, I dont see anything too suspicious like bad blocks.

 

Looking forward to hearing what you guys think.

[Misc items from unRAID build (Pro license, SAS cards, case, etc.)]

I will take the other AOC-SASLP-MV8 card. PM sent

[Slow data rebuild / par check (10-15 MB/sec)]

Sorry guys, but one more question:

 

I decided to update:

ASRock B75 Pro3

Core i3-2120 SB (3,3ghz)

8gb ddr3 memory

 

I'm getting a par check of 30-40 MB/s on the slow pci sata card (3 drives) so that is ok for the moment.. but I want to get a proper card with 8 connections.

 

I will be ordering online so is the  SASLP-MV8 still the best bet or should I go for the LSI ones?

 

Thanks for your input.

[Slow data rebuild / par check (10-15 MB/sec)]

I have gotten a better psu so I will sleep better at night and the disk rebuild went fine.

 

The motherboard + cpu + memory combo are doing fine and the mb has a x4 PCI Express slot.

 

Should I order AOC-SASLP-MV8 or am I mistaken that they are still among the best choices?

 

Found out that it only works as x2

 

Back to the drawing board

[Slow data rebuild / par check (10-15 MB/sec)]

Thanks for the answers, a lot to think about

 

I actually only have one sata card, but the 8 sata ports are split up in two groups on the motherboard. I bought a SIL card since i had a SIL sata controller on the motherboard.

You are right that tunneling the whole subnet is a bit of a risk, but IMO better than missing some ip addresses and taking the time to figure out exactly what ip addresses are part of the website.
