Thank you for testing that. I'll upgrade and try it out.

My MB has 2 JMB363 controllers (GA-MA790FXT-UD5P) that work with unRAID but do not spin down as SMART does not work with them. Do you have this issue?

No, a fan comes with the processor.

"Why did you do a FW uppgrade ? and did you do the FW uppgrade from unRAID server?" If it had the Raid bios installed unRAID will not see it. The Base bios is what you want. Here is the link: http://www.siliconimage.com/support/searchresults.aspx?pid=32&cat=15 Use the 7.7.02 version. Use a Windows computer to upgrade the Bios.

I would look at a single rail supply.

A $10 ATI Rage card off ebay actually uses less power than an integrated video solution. As far as economics.... can't argue there.

I have this board running with the same processor. The 2 GSATA2 controllers (JMB322) have 2 SATA2 ports each (total of 4) that work but SMART does not so you cannot spin-down any drives connected to them (at least I haven't been able to). Plenty of expansion slots with 2 PCIe x16 slots and 3 PCIe x1 slots though. I can confirm that the Adaptec 1430SA cards work in the x16 slots at the same time. You might want to reconsider your power supply selection. I have this supply in my main rig but I use a Corsair 650w single rail supply in my unRAID (I have 13 drives in my setup). You will need a video card. I suggest a PCI based ATI Rage type video card (look on ebay).

unRAID can only use a max of 2 cores but a single core works just fine.

I am not using the JMB322 for PM's; I just want to use the SATA2 ports on the JMB322 for HDD's in my unRAID. They will work if you don't care about SMART and spindown (hopefully someone can fiqure out how to make these features work). My case will hold 18 HD's w/o modification and with my 2 Adaptec 1430SA's, the 6 SATA2 on the MB (not counting the 4 SATA2 on the 2 JMB322's) and 2 SI3132 cards I have 18 SATA2 ports on the PCI-e bus. I still have a spare PCI-ex1 slot available. If there is a way to get the JMB322 chipset to use SMART the MA790FXT-UD5P is almost a perfect unRAID MB (only lacking built-in video). The 2 PCI-ex16 video slots can be used for the Adaptec 1430SA and with 3 PCI-ex1 slots for SI3132 cards thats a potential of 24 SATA2 ports on the PCI-e bus. It can use the 45W AMD Sempron 140 Sargas (plus this board will unlock the 2nd core) and has 2 PCI-e GLan ports.

I have tried Big (JBOD) and Normal (Port Multiplier) with no luck regarding SMART. Not sure what else to try. Ideas?

The JMB322 works in unRAID but the drive will not spindown. Also SMART does not seem to work. Any ideas?

You have to tell me... what do you get when you type: php -v what version of unMENU are you running? What version of the package-manager plug-in? Joe L. I get "php: error while loading shared libraries: libxm12.so.2: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory". I have no idea how to check what package manager I am using.

It says the following: "Installed, but version is different. Current version='2.2.10' expected '5.2.8'" Everytime I try to reinstall I get this error. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks I have 2 of the Adaptec 1430SA's with Seagate 1.5T HDD's attached to them, so yes they work.

Between my son & myself we now have 16 of the Seagate ST31500341AS drives and 2 of the ST31000340AS drives (1 I upgraded the firmware on). I also have 3 Samsumg HD753LJ (1 was replaced under warranty). We both have over 10T of data on these and have never had an issue. You cannot beat the price/performance of the ST31500341AS IMHO.

Between my son & my unRAID servers we have 15 1.5T & 2 1T seagate drives (upgraded firmware on 1 of them). All have worked great. Had 1 samsung 750G fail & samsung RMA'd me a new one. I have seagate drives in all 4 of my other comuters as well. Zero issues. The best performance/value today is the 1.5T 7200rpm Seagate... very fast.

I use the Sabrent Model #SATA-PE2P which is a SI3132 card with 2 SATA II ports (1 internal & 1 external). Both work fine in unRAID.

Use splitters like these: http://www.monoprice.com/products/product.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10226&cs_id=1022604&p_id=5186&seq=1&format=2

Newegg has this card: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124027 I think there has been a couple people try it in the unRAID server without success. Hopefully someone will get it to work. I got mine yesterday. It had an older RAID bios in it, so I flashed it to the newest standard bios. However, it does not work in unRAID. It initializes ok and sees drives in the bios, but when unRaid starts detecting and initializing the devices it stops and locks up at this card with IRQ errors, FF. I don't recall the entire sequence and I haven't done further testing on it yet. Since this is the first time a sil3124 has been built utilizing a PCI-e X1 slot, it could be a driver issue, but that's just a guess. --Bill Can you go into the bios of the card and disable the raid bios? I have to do this with my Adaptec 1430SA cards.

"I don't know if the highpoint cards are compatible without recompiling the kernel. I would search the forums for that card. I believe this card would provide a higher degree of compatibility and supports port multipliers. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816124027" Is the card above confirmed to work with unRAID. The only thread I saw it was not working.

Exactly!

Joe L. I greatly appreciate your help. I tried all previous versions of unmenu with the same results. I reloaded unmenu 1.2 and shut off my Win7 computer and rebooted the unRAID server (again). I did not shutoff my XP computer (my HTPC) but I closed all programs. When the unRAID server rebooted I used my HTPC and went to the http://tower and it worked. Next I went to http://tower:8080/unraid_main and it worked. I booted up my Win7 computer and everything works on it as well. No clue as to how or why but very glad it does. This is very normal for me when dealing with software. Hardware I understand, software on the otherhand is like voodoo!

FYI, there was no change at all in the plug-in used to display the original unRAID main page in unMENU from when I originally included it in the 1.1 version of unMENU files. It is exacty the same page. What has probably changed are the security updates Microsoft has made to IE-7 to allow (or rather disallow) an inline frame from a different "server/port" than the parent page. How do you have the security settings in IE? are you running a firewall other than Microsofts? I am running IE8 on both my XP & Win7 machines. I have my security settings at medium-high (where they have always been). I do not use Microsoft's firewall, I use F-Secure for Win7 (I had zero problems before going to 1.2 getting into unraid main) and Live One Care for XP.

I added http://tower and http://tower:8080/unraid_main to my trusted sites and still cannot access the unraid main.
