  1. ok i belive i did everything right.. followed all the steps in the wiki.

    copied the files for the gui.

    installed the unmenu web package thing.

    went into the webserver settings put in the location and port

    clicked on it and the web interface for vbox opened and asked me to log in

    i used what i guess would be

    admin

    admin

    and now all i get is a blank greyish page

     

    also can't access the webserver eiteher goto server:89 and get an internal server error.. restarted.. got it back, restarted the webserver thing.. and again grey page, and can't access port 89 page anymore

  2. ok been away for the last few days so havn't manage to report but.. i did the sync again.. had no syn errors but had another 125 disk errors. so the web gui is showing 250 errors atm.

     

    did another short test and report

     

    the system han't been restarted at all since the initial power failure, either, so if i needed to do a restart before doing another smart test, then yea...

  4. ok, i had to shutdown the server yesterday, power outage, ups kept it live while i loged in, stoped, and shutdown.

     

    After starting back up, it started a parity sync. Odd i thought, but meh, it had been 2-3months since i last did one, and it was already 20% though by the time i realised, so i let it go.

     

    Now i've receieved i belive 1 parity sync error and 121 parity disk errors, if i'm reading it right. Would like it if someone could check for me. If the 121 errors, are disk errors i'll pull it out and check the cable on the parity drive, well i'll replug all the cables, and run another parity?

  5. So I'm going to need more storage before long... recently bought a 2tb external to keep me out of trouble, so should be ok for the time being, but still need to start considering my options.

     

    My case is full atm 12 hdds 3 x 4 hdd cages in it, and no more space, apart from laying them on the bottom of the case.

     

    So my first thoughts are either to get a bigger case. and either 1 replace current case, 2 do a whole new build for it, and have 2 servers, 3 just put a power supply in and somehow try and get longer cables to run over to the other case. Will need more pci sata cards as well. 8 on current board and a 4xpci for my 12 drives. (ps what are peoples thoughts on them sas card things?), 4 start replacing some of the smaller drives with bigger drives. have 3 750s and 4 1tb, that could be swaped out, but then what to do with the older smaller drivers. seems like a waste, unless i can get some decent money for them selling 2nd hand... which i kind of doubt.

     

    So after opinions on what other people have done, when they have gotten to this point?

     

  6. Hi, have just run preclear for the first time on a couple new 2tb drives. had them running simultaneously, and the difference the report gave was a fair bit, especially the g-sense, drive most of been dropped at some point by the looks of it? still says it passed though.

     

    Anyway heres a copy past from unmenu

     

    drive 1 - 26hrs 39mins to clear

  7. Make sure that you resolve the HPA issue fully. If your board does not turn off HPA by default then the problem will reoccur when CMOS is reset for any reason, e.g., the CMOS battery dies. Having the option to disable it is not good enough; the board must default to the off setting. Sometimes a BIOS update will fix the problem. Although, others have replaced their MB due to this problem. Motherboards the have HPA enabled by default are not suitable for unRAID. You don't want to be surprised by HPA in the future.

     

    Well I just tested this, connected a couple more power and sata cables, getting everything prepped for the new drives this afternooon. And while i was doing all that i pulled the battery and turned the power off, to simulate what would happen.

    When i turned it back I, i was hit by the gigabyte logo thing which is normal disabled... so first thought was buggar, but then after that it presented a menu with something like cmos error (can't remember exactly what it said but anyway), it had a list of default and last known good config, and a few others that you could save, in the save cmos to bios thing that i did.

    It was defaulted at last known good with 15sec count down.. let it go and bam restarted with all the previous settings, with all the extras that i have disabled, re-disabled.

     

    So i'm not going to have to sacrifice the good asus board in my main :)

     

    I also ran the full surface scan on the parity drive using the samsung utiltiy last night.. and it came back clean.. so hopefully it was just a glitch.

  8. do a long test?

    that disk has 47 reallocated sectors.  Nothing too bad, but watch it in the future and if the number increases, constantly, replace the drive.

    as in bad sectors?

     

    have pulled the server out and hooked upto my monitor, and ran the samsung diag tools just ran the short test, i'll do a full surface scan on it tonight when i goto bed, but it passed the quick test.

     

    on another topic from yesterday about the hpa thing, i updated the bios and it gave the option to disable it, plus i did a save cmos to bios thing.. so hoping that fixes the part about it coming back in the event of battery going flat that was commented about

  10. i'm in the same boat as your mazma, was discussing it last night, if you want to check my thread labeled "few questions"

     

    yes that hdparm will get rid of it.. the problem is, if the hpa isn't disabled, it will just be re created. weather your option of setting it to dual bios has indeed disabled it.. well i don't know.

     

    i'll do that fdisk for you as well bjp

  11. Hi, i ran an unmenu verify but don't correct over night, and it's returned 0 errors, but has spat out 48 disk errors on the parity drive.

     

    Now from what i can tell from the system log it looks as though the errors occurred towards the end for the drive, so  I'm guessing it's not a cable problem? I'd imagine if it was the cable the errors would of been more frequent then just a few dozen blocks near the end together. So i'm guessing it's physical?

     

    Anyway before i get to carried swapping cables, i'll check what you experts say.

     

    I've attached the system log starting from last night, would be too big to attach the whole thing as it's been up for a few weeks. if more is needed let me know.

     

    Thanks

  12. just download the M/B manual and went through the bios settings in the manual, and couldn't find any reference to the hpa in it, must of been a different board i saw it :(.. so does that mean if i get rid of it off the drive with hdpam, it will just come straight back after a reboot?

  13. the fact they were new and didn't actually need to be zeroed anyway

     

    This is wrong. New drives are not zeroed by the manufacturer. A new drive could be totally full of ones. There are no rules or standards for the content of new drives. They could be filled jpegs of Lena for all we know.

     

    The reason that none of your new drives were cleared is because they we added as parity drives. The parity drive does not need to be cleared because it is written completely when parity is calculated.

     

    Did you reuse any of the parity drive you replaced in unRAID? These drives would have to be cleared before they could be formatted.

     

    yes the old parity drives became data drives, and unraid never cleared them at that stage either

     

     

    edit: just checked my system log and that hpa error is in it.
