Ok, I installed version: 5.0-rc6-r8168-test last night and have now got the array up in Maintenance mode and am running through reiser checking all my drives. Jon

Yeah, and i can't understand why - I have 5 XBMC clients and then a couple of VMs - but nothing like that much access - and all my access is now NFS. Jon

Hello, I am running latest rc5 and have been a happy unraid user for 2 years, very few issues. I have developed a problem in the last two weeks that I cannot seem to fix. I have 7 2Tb WD Green drives and 1 WD Black as my parity. If i run a Parity Sync it all starts and seems to run - but somewhere between 60 and 100% the system becomes unresponsive. If I reboot, then (sometimes) the web page will start, but most often it will not. The shares are active however. After trying many things to resolve the issue, I totally reset my USB stick to clean install and reconfigured unraid without any add ons or extras. I ran a parity sync, but the following morning - same issue - and now if i reboot i cannot get into the web page, and the shares are there on SMB but not NFS. I tried unmounting the drives so I would do a reisercheck on each drive, but i cannot unmount. When I type /usr/bin/fuser -mv /mnt/disk* /mnt/user/* to see why i can't umount, i get this for each share - seems to be a lot of connections, but no idea at all why /mnt/user/Software: nobody 7891 ..c.. smbd nobody 7892 ..c.. smbd nobody 7893 f.c.. smbd nobody 7894 ..c.. smbd nobody 7895 ..c.. smbd nobody 7896 f.c.. smbd nobody 7897 ..c.. smbd nobody 7898 ..c.. smbd xbmc 7999 F.c.. smbd xbmc 8004 ..c.. smbd xbmc 8005 ..c.. smbd xbmc 8023 ..c.. smbd xbmc 8024 ..c.. smbd nobody 8073 ..c.. smbd nobody 8074 ..c.. smbd nobody 8075 f.c.. smbd nobody 8076 ..c.. smbd nobody 8077 ..c.. smbd nobody 8078 f.c.. smbd nobody 8079 ..c.. smbd nobody 8080 ..c.. smbd nobody 8191 ..c.. smbd nobody 8192 ..c.. smbd nobody 8193 f.c.. smbd nobody 8194 ..c.. smbd nobody 8195 ..c.. smbd nobody 8196 f.c.. smbd nobody 8197 ..c.. smbd nobody 8198 ..c.. smbd nobody 8309 ..c.. smbd nobody 8310 ..c.. smbd nobody 8311 f.c.. smbd nobody 8312 ..c.. smbd nobody 8313 ..c.. smbd nobody 8314 f.c.. smbd nobody 8315 ..c.. smbd nobody 8316 ..c.. smbd Could anyone advise me how to proceed with troubleshooting so i can get my unraid working perfectly again? Thanks Jon

Great - thanks - i've added it my go script and its working I appreciate your quick replies, thank you. Lots I can do with this syslog now in terms of email warnings etc Jon

Ah yes, i can see that now - the scroll bars don't appear on Lion. Thank you - startup script - where do I put it and what do I call it? Jon

Hello, I want to forward my syslog to IP 10.0.1.21 on UDP 514 - but reading this I am not totally clear on the steps. Do I create a startup script like weebotech? #!/bin/bash cp /boot/custom/etc/syslog.conf /etc/syslog.conf read PID < /var/run/syslogd.pid kill -1 ${PID} dmesg | logger -tdmesg -plocal7.info -i I can't see how this sends data to another IP? I think i am missing something? Jon

Yes I can confirm that - no temps show on SATA drives on the 1068E Jon

I've given up trying to get NFS to work on 5beta2, I am of the impression it is broken. But then, nobody has actually said as such. I've tried the Disk Utility mount and no luck, nothing I try seems to give me NFS Jon

I've fixed this but I lost some data. I tried a new mobo, so by that point I had changed everything (disk, cable, mobo, card). I tried and initconfig and it worked immediately, actually saw the drive was already formatted and the array came up with all my data. Then about an hour later, unRAID fell over. Each time it rebooted, it fell over again. If I removed /dev/md4 then it was ok. So I tried adding in a blank drive and letting parity rebuild my missing disk - same issue, would not format md4. In the end I had to do another initconfig with my new drive and lost parity and therefore lost 600Gb data. Its all working now but I'm feeling bad about the loss. But I am using a beta I guess... Jon

I have exactly the same issue. Will try with NFSManager at the weekend Jon

Hello, Has anyone successfully connected Snow Leopard (10.6.5) to unRaid 5beta2? If so, could you share a how-to? I've read a few threads but nothing seems to be working. Thanks Jon

Hello, I'm troubleshooting an issue and looking for some advice. I have 5beta2 installed with a Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 card. I have 5 drives in my array and a cache drive. When I boot up I have an issue with md4. So I thought the drive was bad, added a new drive and get the same issue. The web gui wants to format the drive, but when I say ok it fails with the error attached in the log. I thought it may be SATA cable so I switched it out. no improvement I then thought it may be dodgy card so I switched 4,5,6,7 to the internal SATA on the motherboard - same issue I was running inside ESXi so I booted native to see if that was the problem - but get the same issue I am now looking for advice - what else can I try?

Hello, I wanted to post an update with my experiences so far with unRAID inside ESXi. I had it working nicely on my single ESXi box and vmDirectPath but then went on to learn more and more about ESXi and the power features. This lead me to want to create a SAN on a separate box, so I purchased a new motherboard for the purpose of running unRAID and Openfiler inside its own ESXi and then having my other ESXi store its datastores on the SAN. The config below works very nicely, drive temps spin downs etc are all passed through as though unRAID was booted natively. Mobo Intel S3210SHLX http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813121345&Tpk=S3210SHLX unRAID card - Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16815121009&Tpk=AOC-SAT2-MV8 OpenFiler card - LSI MegaRAID SAS 9260 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118105&cm_re=LSI_MEGARAID_SAS_9260-8I-_-16-118-105-_-Product For openfiler, ESXi sees this card in RAID mode (10) and then i made an RDM of the array which Openfiler then sees. For the unRAID to work, you need to have vmDirectPath turned on, which this mobo supports. This mobo is also on the VM HCL. It has 2 x PCI-X slots so if you grow to 16+ Unraid disks it will allow two AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards Jon

Hello, I made a root user by mistake and entered a password. Now I can no longer log into the web interface it tells me that the SMU requires a name and password. Is there anyway to undo this or do I need to remake my flash drive? Thanks Jon

Heffe, thats good news i guess, but i don't fully understand it, is there a thread that discusses this, i want to avoid it if i can Jon

Hi, I might need my hand holding a bit more... so far ive ran the new permissions script but i haven't made the smb-extra.conf file. I have two drives in my array that were from unRAID 5 beta 2 last week, a different array. They've been recognized and are now part of my new array. I have quite a number of files that I can't Copy/Cut/Delete/Rename/Move If i ssh into my unRAID I can delete them as root. Is there not a command I can run that will flatten everything back to one user? Jon

What's confusing me is that unRAID can see the serial number in the assign screen but not the array screen. That makes me wonder if the issue isn't related to a unRAID bug? Unless it gets the data from two different places. On Raw Device mode you won't get serials or temps either i don't think. Are there any options in your BIOS to activate S.M.A.R.T. on your controller? Jon

Are you running 5beta2? Jon

When you assign them in the assign menu, do you see the serial number and size then? Are you using WD or Seagate? The reason I ask is I'm almost all WD but I have a Seagate and that drive does not show temp and serial # on this card, but on SATA it does. And in the assign screen, I can see the serial # Jon

Hello, thanks for the tips. The new permissions button in unraid 5 didn't fix the issue - would appreciate the tip on how to force r/w on samba shares. Thanks Jon

Hi heffe2001, I am using IT mode - this is the firmware I flashed with... ftp://ftp.supermicro.com/driver/SAS/LSI/1064_1068/IT/Firmware/B3/L4i/1.26.01/ Good luck Jon

I'm getting my temps and serial numbers. Did you look to see if there is newer firmware for your controller? Jon

Hello, I've added in a disk that is already reiserfs and has been in an unRAID array before. However, all my files are locked, I can read but can't write/delete How do I change the permissions on these files to match my new unRAID. Basically, every file on mnt/disk3 is locked Thanks for any advice Jon

I have great news..... Drealit got me thinking the other day about using the LSI 1068E SAS on the mobo of my X8ST3-F - the issue was that neither ESXi nor unRAID could see devices attached to this controller. It would not let me use devices as physical devices, it had to make a RAID array. Well, that kinda annoyed me so googling i have been, and i found this link http://ubuntuforums.org/archive/index.php/t-973912.html regarding deactivating the MegaRAID bit and just using the card as a controller. Basically I had to remove a jumper on my mobo, flash the firmware and then I rebooted and SATA drives are recognized by ESXi and unRAID. So, loaded my array drives in, had to do an initconfig and then remade my array. Moment of truth comes when I do a parity sync - previous cards have either crashed or gone so slow it told me 171 days to sync. The great news is on this config I am getting 65Mb/sec on my parity sync. So, it would appear we have cracked it - unRAID 5 beta 2 working with physical card passthru - its taken me 2 weeks, some very late nights and a upset wife, but I finally have a solution - and I now can put all of my PC's into one physical box.... I can't tell you how good I feel right now.... but I think some of you probably know. Thanks to you all for your help Jon
