Did you see that you have read errors on one of your drives?? Troubleshoot in a logic manner, sheesh. Start with the basics. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2

Well...first thing you need to run smart tests on each drive. Feb 24 08:03:25 Tower kernel: handle_stripe read error: 185328/1, count: 1 Feb 24 08:03:25 Tower kernel: md: disk1 read error 2nd, remove all plugins and get your system stable. Learn how to read the syslog, and how to do the basics. btw, the syslog is easily compressed. syslog.zip

ehmsas.exe causing the problem?

See attached

At the end of the installl...I get this: Feb 17 10:56:50 Tower logger: installing plugin: * Feb 17 10:56:50 Tower logger: Feb 17 10:56:50 Tower logger: Warning: simplexml_load_file(): I/O warning : failed to load external entity "/boot/config/plugins/*.plg" in /usr/local/sbin/installplg on line 13 Feb 17 10:56:50 Tower logger: xml parse error Guessing it is checking to install plugins not called?

Which version of preclear did you use? http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.0

Agreed that the "wiki" can always be improved upon, in particular the --rebuild-sb (but that is included in a forum link within the wiki instructions). btw, Here is what you should expect (hope) after running reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/md15 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13691.msg129720#msg129720

Use a Kingston G3 Card Reader. unRAID requires a unique GUID, and this reader is one of the few that has one. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820721088&Tpk=Kingston%20G3%20card%20reader

You will not be able to fix the errors on the drive from parity. Additional instructions: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25250.msg220695#msg220695 as far as the warning goes: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=8403.msg81261#msg81261

Was this drive in any other system prior to installation? Follow Limetech's instruction and assessment here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=13371.msg127457#msg127457 Edit: Looks like nothing to worry about: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=14158.msg134828#msg134828 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=19275.msg171839#msg171839 Edit2: I probably wouldn't do this for a harmless error message, but it does describe why it occurs.. http://www.rodsbooks.com/gdisk/wipegpt.html

btw, here is Tom's response to "what happens during a parity check" http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=20614.msg183295#msg183295

Just a few more options, just to be different: http://www.silverstonetek.com/product.php?pid=303&area=en http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=7446.msg72114#msg72114 http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1717132

Not true. The next "write" to that sector should re-allocate it if it cannot be re-written in place in the same sector. Joe L. Agreed Joe. I was being lazy in my response...and I don't have much faith in drives with reallocated sectors.

Current pending sectors...are sectors waiting to be rewritten, failure to do so means it will red ball the drive on the next write. I don't like to temp the bit-gods that way, especially if the pending sectors just continue to increase. Just an indicator that failure is pending. I wouldn't suggest preclear until the drive has been removed from the array, and the data is safe.

Never good. Those should all be 0 as you know.

User names must be lower case. (You were using a leading capital letter) Other considerations when creating a new user: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Plugin/webGui/Users

Looks like Grsync or luckbackup would work for you. Maybe a package developer would build something if there is enough interest. I noticed there were Slackware 13.37 txz builds... http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackware-13.37/network/grsync/1.2.0/ http://slackware.org.uk/slacky/slackware-13.37/utilities/luckybackup/0.4.7/luckybackup-0.4.7-i486-1sl.txz http://www.opbyte.it/grsync/ http://luckybackup.sourceforge.net/ I don't which dependencies required by (listed in the directories above) either package are not included in unRAID.

I don't know of any TVs that allow SMB or NFS shares. I have a Panasonic TC-P50ST50 with DLNA - and never used it. But SamyGO custom firmware allows smb/nfs/ftp with some Samsung TV models http://wiki.samygo.tv/index.php5/Mounting_an_CIFS/SAMBA_share_on_a_USB_device_to_bypass_DLNA

Just a quick reply...have you tried this? http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php/Console#To_cleanly_Stop_the_array_from_the_command_line haven't looked at your syslog yet..and it is late for me ;-) Edit: Ugh...Memory/Network/Bios setting??

Wise the hard way! ;-) I am glad it is so stable. Been mostly away since August. I couldn't imagine talking her through a disk replacement... Better get some drives pre cleared, it should be doable after that. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2

Will do, sometime in the next 4 days. . I have been away for a month, so the wife will need attention before the server. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2

@tyrindor. Others including myself have reported the slower parity checks. Tom made mention of unraid polling the drives every 10seconds,which was changed in rc9. But simplefeatures also utilizes this in the disk health plug in. Don't know if this is related, but I plan to test by disabling. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25250.msg220439.msg#220439 This was my original report after upgrading to rc5,Btw I believe the slow writes and parity checks have separate root causes. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=21269.msg188995.msg#188995 Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using Tapatalk 2
