  1. I got the failed to install error 13 as well. tried numerous configurations of loaders and pat files centOS vs Ubuntu. The issue was my primary vdisk bus was set to vritIO. changed to bus type USB and the install proceeded.

     

    in the end followed the exact guide above, set primary vdisk bus to USB and used DS3615xs 1.02b with DSM_DS3615xs_15047.pat to work on my machine. 

  2. Is it common for unpaid to find and correct errors on every parity check? I run parity check once a week for several years now and I dont think I have ever had a run that didn't result in finding and correcting errors.

  3. *Solved*

     

    there were two issues.

     

    1) I had output set to a sub directory within the storage path. Seeing the post above by Djoss that storage was readonly it made me think that the read only permissions were applying to the subdirectory as well. Moved the output folder to a level above the storage folder allowed it to write the output file.

     

    2) within the GUI the destination directory shows as being set to a "folder" named output. it is not clear that this folder name is actually just a pointer to the folder selected in the output path of the docker. Showing the name of the user selected output folder within the GUI would be a good improvement to the UX of the docker.

  4. I installed the docker and ran a test and it wrote a file to the selected directory. I then created a new directory for output files, edited the output path in the docker and got "unable to write" to directory error. I have reset permissions on the directories and that did not make a difference. I uninstalled and reinstalled several times and set the path during initial and post installation and that has not fixed the issue. I can also no longer write to the directory that it was successful writing to on the first install. 

  5. rebuilt disk, ran parity 0 errors. immediately ran a second parity check (no new activity on the array was conducted before during or in between parity checks). Second parity check turned up 5572 errors.

     

    if the first check had 0 errors and there was no new disk activity how could the second check have 5572 errors?

  6. dont have any virtual machines setup.

     

    yes it dropped off in the middle of the smart report. not sure about it being a bad disk though. its a pretty new drive. ran multiple preclears on it with no issues.

     

    at this point i now have no parity disk assigned to the array. which means parity needs to be rebuilt. i have a complete new board/cpu setup for this machine. ive been waiting until i got everything up and running correctly with the array before upgrading the parts. I seem to have multiple hardware failures going on with the current setup. Since i no longer have any parity would i be alright to just go ahead and put in the new hardware then create a new config and let the parity rebuild? This approach would at least remove alot of the hardware related issues hopefully.

  7. put in a new WD red drive, pre cleared with no issues. Pulled the old drive out reassigned to the new drive and ran data rebuild. Half way through the new drive got disabled with write errors again. so its not a faulty drive issue. and nothing has changed on the machine. it wasn't even rebooted between pre clear and data rebuild. 

     

    An additional note is that prior to the my first error occurrence i had formatted the original drive as XFS and copied over 3TB of data from another drive. The copy process went smooth as silk.

     

    In every case over the last year I have only had disk issues when a parity check is trying to write to a drive.

     

    new log attached.

  8. I've had this issue with disks getting disabled during party checks for a while now. too date I've replaced the power supply, controller card and sata cables.

     

    everytime without fail ill create a new config, run a parity check, it will say everything is good. then during the next 1-2 parity checks one of the drives will get redballed. I really don't know what else to do at this point.

  9. Never purchased ECC ram before. Seems to be a lot more to deal with compatibility wise than reg ram. couple of questions

     

    1)Can anyone verify if: Samsung M393B2K70DM0-CF8  16GB PC3L-8500R DDR3, 1066, CL7, ECC REG 1.5V 240-pin DIMM will work with my asus z9pa-d8 and dual e5-2670 xeons?

    2)im looking at around $200 for 64gb (4x16gb) is that a decent price?

    3) other than ebay anyone know of other good places for used ram?

     

  10. so ive decided to forgo the budget. The idea is i can spend more on this machine and ditch the second dedicated gaming machine i was going to build. These are the two options im considering. Any feed back about gaming performance, etc.

     

    supermicro x9drl-if-b
    2x xeon e5-2670
    128gb ddr3 1333 ecc reg

     

    or

    e5-2683v3
    fatali1ty x99m killer
    32gb 3200 ddr4 ecc

     

    Also since budget is not a primary concern im open to other suggested configurations.

  11. ok, lets exclude pricing for the moment. im seeing some of the older v1 / v2 cpus are more readily available and local to the us as well as substantially cheaper. give me some feedback on the following:

     

    performance wise would you choose a single e5-2658 v3 or dual e5-2650

    is it worth the significant price increase to go with say a v3 version over the same cpu as a v1 version. can be almost double the price in some cases.
