  1. Currently Unraid server sits on a Supermicro X10SRA-F with a Xeon E5-2640 v4. This has been rock solid for my use case over the last 7 years but now I am getting rid of pay TV (will still have Amazon Video plus the streaming services I get free with TMobile) and instlaling an OTA antenna. I will be running the Antenna to network tuners (I have 3 HomeRun CONNECTS that I bought several years ago when I was considering doing the same thing, will just use those for now and may upgrade later.) I will then be setting up an OTA DVR on my unraid server (likely Plex, seems to be the best option with what I will be streaming to.) The TDP on my CPU isn't awful, but I am still thinking the power consumption benefit would be there for the inconvenience of replacing my motherboard, CPU and memory as any GPU I put in that will handle transcoding (even though not conerned about 4K streams right now I want to future proof) will consume a significantly larger amount of power than upgrading to and Intel processor that is iGPU quick sync capable. I am thinking something along the lines of a 13500 would be my best bet, offering the capability to easily transcode 4 4k streams simultaneously and not impact me performance for the other tasks the server is performing over my current E5-2640. This would also reduce my over all power consumption rather than increase it by adding a GPU. The only thing I am really giving up is the registered memory. Does this sound about right, or am I missing something?
  2. I replaced the supplied fans with 120mm PWM fans. I run a script to drive the fan speed based on hard drive temps I modified from a thread on this forum. I have them set to go to a medium speed when a drive temp exceeds 33 degrees, and then full speed when a drive temp exceeds 39 degrees. I rarely hear the fan speeds go to medium and have never heard them go to full.
  3. Yes as long as the cables you use also support 1Gbps. Old LAN cables only used two pairs of the wires. New use all 4 pairs and are more tightly twisted to avoid cross-coupling between the pairs. Cat5e and Cat6 are rated for 1Gbps. Cat5 is not but might work for shorter lengths. The house I am in now has Cat5 strung to all the rooms. Was able to get Gigabit speeds in all of the rooms with the longest run being around 50 feet. Ran like this for a couple of weeks before running Cat6 to replace the Cat5 in rooms that were using Gigabit (I tend to be a better safe then sorry type of person.) Network benchmarks show the same speed on the Cat6 runs as I was getting on the Cat5, so it would seem that there is some Cat5 out there that is with in specification for running Gigabit in at least a home network type environment.
  4. No disk error (reported by unRAID, but there was the disk with the SMART error reported.) However the same error occurred at the same spot 4 different times during parity checks. This is easy to verify as the error occurs almost immediately after starting the parity check. I swapped out the power supply last week and ran memtest for 10 hours straight with no errors reported.
  5. Ok, will just let the parity check correct the error and move on then. Thanks for the help.
  6. I ran a parity check today and received one error. I ran from unMenu with the No Correction option. The error is detected immediately after starting the check. Of note I also have a disk that was showing a Multi_Zone_Error_Rate of 1 (has since dropped to 0.) Would it be likely that the disk that had the error was at fault and not the parity drive? Any suggestions on how to proceed? Edit to add: The line from the syslog showing the error. Dec 4 21:45:14 DarkTower kernel: md: parity incorrect: 1728 This was detected the same 4 different times (I didn't run 4 full checks, after the 1st full check with the 1 parity error I started and stopped 3 more times to verify the error.)
  7. Don't know why you haven't ordered from tigerdirect.....sure you have to pay shipping but I have seen a lot over the years where their price was cheaper.....I could be a bit biased because i live so close to their Chicago shipping facility....within reason they ALWAYS ship the same day....its freaking amazing...lol I have order as late as 6:00 their time and got the items the next day but recently i have pretty much order everything from Newegg because i have caught almost all the stuff on shellshocker....and they have usually taken a couple of days just to ship.....usually the prices are close....guess it depends how quickly you want the item I always come away with a used-car sales feeling when ordering from them. The thing that brought that feeling with that last order was the prompt for the last 4 of my SSN to verify the order.
  8. Ordered 2 from newegg and 1 from tigerdirect. And in doing so, remembered why I haven't ordered from tigerdirect in 7 or 8 years.
  9. Yup. Release -rc4 will have the same kernel as 4.5.6, so this will be unnecessary for you. If there were benefits to the kernel change you made then I have no problems having to add the two lines to go. After being given a shove in the right direction it was easy enough to figure out and fix.
  10. You may need to modprobe the it87 driver.... some newer mobos have partial compatibility with it87, but really need a newer driver, and if it87 is built into the kernel, you can't unload it, so a request was mode to leave the instrumentation drivers like it87 as modules, so you need to modprobe them. So I ran sensors-detect and got: # sensors-detect revision 5337 (2008-09-19 17:05:28 +0200) This program will help you determine which kernel modules you need to load to use lm_sensors most effectively. It is generally safe and recommended to accept the default answers to all questions, unless you know what you're doing. We can start with probing for (PCI) I2C or SMBus adapters. Do you want to probe now? (YES/no): YES Probing for PCI bus adapters... Found unknown SMBus adapter 8086:3b30 at 0000:00:1f.3. Sorry, no supported PCI bus adapters found. If you have undetectable or unsupported I2C/SMBus adapters, you can have them scanned by manually loading the modules before running this script. To continue, we need module `i2c-dev' to be loaded. Do you want to load `i2c-dev' now? (YES/no): YES Module loaded successfully. We are now going to do the I2C/SMBus adapter probings. Some chips may be double detected; we choose the one with the highest confidence value in that case. If you found that the adapter hung after probing a certain address, you can specify that address to remain unprobed. Next adapter: SMBus I801 adapter at 0400 (i2c-0) Do you want to scan it?

We have to write to arbitrary I/O ports to probe them. This is usually safe though. Yes, you do have ISA I/O ports even if you do not have any ISA slots! Do you want to scan the ISA I/O ports?

(confidence 4, driver `ipmisensors') Probing for `IPMI BMC SMIC' at 0xca8... No Some Super I/O chips may also contain sensors. We have to write to standard I/O ports to probe them.

No Intel AMB FB-DIMM thermal sensor... No VIA C7 thermal and voltage sensors... No Now follows a summary of the probes I have just done. Just press ENTER to continue: Driver `ipmisensors' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0xca0 Chip `IPMI BMC KCS' (confidence: 4) Driver `w83627ehf' (should be inserted): Detects correctly: * ISA bus, address 0xa10 Chip `Winbond W83627DHG Super IO Sensors' (confidence: 9) Do you want to generate /etc/sysconfig/lm_sensors? (yes/NO): NO To load everything that is needed, add this to one of the system initialization scripts (e.g. /etc/rc.d/rc.local): #----cut here---- # You must also install and load the IPMI modules modprobe ipmi-si # Chip drivers # Warning: the required module ipmisensors is not currently installed # on your system. For status of 2.6 kernel ports check # http://www.lm-sensors.org/wiki/Devices. If driver is built # into the kernel, or unavailable, comment out the following line. modprobe ipmisensors modprobe w83627ehf /usr/bin/sensors -s #----cut here---- If you have some drivers built into your kernel, the list above will contain too many modules. Skip the appropriate ones! You really should try these commands right now to make sure everything is working properly. Monitoring programs won't work until the needed modules are loaded. issuing: modprobe w83627ehf /usr/bin/sensors -s got the fan control working again. So would I just put those two lines in my go file and be good? Also, is there any benefit to adding the lines for the IPMI drivers as well?
  11. 4.5.6. Downgrading back to 4.5.6 brought back fan control.
  12. Upgraded to get rid of the HDIO_GET_IDENTITY errors. With the new version, my ability to access the fan control device has disappeared. The /sys/class/hwmon directory (and everything under it) is not there with the upgrade.
  13. So after running 4 individual (didn't use -c 4) preclear cycles on the misbehaving disk: a) On the second cycle all the errors went away. The pending sectors did not become reallocated sectors and all the normalized values seemed to go to default after first run values b) After the 4th cycle I got the following: < 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 200 200 000 Old_age Always - 0 --- > 7 Seek_Error_Rate 0x002e 100 253 000 Old_age Always - 0 which doesn't look bad at all, but also isn't exactly comforting (gives me the impression that there is still something odd going on considering the disks history.)
  14. Have the exact same problem with that board and the Norco 4220 case.
