Hi, I am a casual at best Unraid user for many years. I upgraded to Ver 5.0-rc16c and am having a problem. I am trying to copy about 7tb worth of files over to the array and I am getting the error "There is not enough free memory" when I hit retry I get the same error again. When I hit cancel and try to copy anything over to the share I get You need permission to perform this action. The unit has 2 shares on it share1 and share2. I am copying the files to share1. Both shares are setup as high-water nothing in the other fields. SMB setting are export yes and security public. I have 3 2tb and 3 1.5tb drives the drive with the least amount of free space has 946mb free. When I receive this error I cannot write anything to share1. Share2 I can write to and I can write to the individual drives. Once I reboot the system I can write to the share again for a while. The time between errors is getting shorter and shorter. I am copying files from a windows 7 machine using explorer and dragging the files over to the mapped share. The server is an AIC with a Supermicro motherboard and 4gb or ram. I had this same problem on a different Supermicro motherboard with 8gb or ram. I did run the permission script when I converted from 4.7 to 5. I had so many problems that I just wiped the whole array and started over, thinking that would solve the problem. I have several backups of the data, so I was not concerned about starting over. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Just go to newegg and do a search on SAMSUNG HD103UI . I think this is their answer to Western Digitals green drives.

Must not have had that many. I got one, anyboby else?

Newegg has the ASUS P5B-VM DO LGA. Just do a search. About $70 plus s/h. This MB is getting harder and harder to find. Remeber it is open box so test test and test right after you get it.

Nice case, just got mine in yesterday because of your post. Gonna put in 3 Athena 5 in 3 backplanes.

Performance is much better than my Buffalo 2tb Terastation Pro. I cannot imagine that the CPU plays that critical of a role in performance. I would think that HDD speed would be more important. What does the CPU have to do add up 1's and zeros and set the parity based on that. I would say that a slow 120 gig PATA drive mixed in with some SATA 300's would slow things down much more. Plus the number of hdd's has to play a factor. I think that 4 1tb drives would be faster than 8 500gig. Then again I am new to this. Would anybody in the know like to chime in? Put the following items in order of speed performace gains. CPU, HDD speed, more memory, network speed 100 vs 1000, number of hdd's in the system.

Had the memory.

I recently setup this MB with a 420 Celeron and 1 1gig stick of ram. I have 8 hdd's 400 and 500 gigs. I wanted to tell you that the server draws 125 watts with all drives spun up and 75 watts spun down.

I think that the shares is a fairly undocumented feature. I read the manual at least 3 times and still was not sure why they worked the way the did. When I first setup my server I had 3 drives with the parity. I created Movies share and the directory was created on the 2 drives no prob. When I added a drive I thought Movies should be created automatically. Wrong. I tried stopping and starting and rebooting, nope. When I started adding more files to movies, then it created movies on the other disk. The same thing seems to happen with subs. As you add more and more files it will add the directories to the other drive based on your filling rules ie high water. One thing that really caused me a lot of trouble was the split level. It is set I think at 1 by default, I think the default should be higher. If it is set at one it will not created the other subdirectories on the other drives. I just set mine at 99, as I do not plan on having more than a couple of directories deep anyway.
