I recently noticed my network speed was 100 instead of 1000. I have no idea when this started. After troubleshooting, I have discovered that after boot, if I change my IP and then change it back, I am now at 1000 speed. Has anyone else seen this issue before in unraid? Thanks, Lucas

I see this line in the 'Registration Key Types and Features' area: Other than unRAID Server Basic, registration keys work on all available versions of unRAID Server OS. Does this mean that the Pro key I bought for unRAID 5 will work if i try to use it for Pro on unRAID 6? I just want to verify before I work on updating.

Thanks to everyone for the advice. The road I started on last night was the following: Rebuild data to the drive unraid flagged as error (it passed a couple of tests, so hopefully it still has some life in it). Backup disk config. Swap parity. Swap error'd drive with old parity drive. Currently the parity is being rebuilt, so as long as that drive doesn't fail again, I should be golden in about another 10 hours. After reading these posts when I woke up this morning, I think the best option would have been to enable HPA on the new drive; however, I have already started this path. I might as well see it through. -Lucas

You are probably spot on. I think my current parity drive was installed in a different computer at some point. It looks like removing HPA makes unraid think it is a new drive and rebuild, so I cannot fix this until I am in a full working state. -Lucas

I have a drive failure, so I ordered a replacement which came in today. However, the replacement drive is showing as being ~1k larger than the parity. Is there any way to force a data rebuild? -Lucas Update: I found this: You must replace a failed disk with a disk which is as big or bigger than the original and not bigger than the parity disk. If the replacement disk is larger than your parity disk, then the system permits a special configuration change called swap-disable. For swap-disable, you use your existing parity disk to replace the failed disk, and you install your new big disk as the parity disk: Stop the array. Power down the unit. Replace the parity hard disk with a new bigger one. Replace the failed hard disk with you old parity disk. Power up the unit. Start the array. Here is an image of my mail unraid page: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/17676078/unraidError.PNG Do I just go to devices and switch the two drives, and unraid copies parity? Then unraid starts a data rebuild? -Lucas

I did some googling of PIO mode to figure out what you were talking about. I do not see it in my dmesg as it was here: I've never heard of PIO mode before. Thanks for the knowledge ; ) dmsg.txt

I would be very skeptical that a current disk is the issue. I did a data rebuild ~10 days ago that went just fine. The only difference is this WD drive. Also with the preclear going at under a meg a second, I think it further points to the drive being an issue. Thank you for your response.

I pulled an updated syslog, but it has not changed since the one I posted an hour ago. Edit: I stopped the data rebuild. It was getting to the point where it would take over 4 weeks to complete. I started a preclear on the drive, and it was going just as slow (copying 0's to the drive @<1MB/sec). Tonight after work I am going to try a preclear on a different computer to see if it is the same. Also going to run some benchmarks on it.

unRaid 4.6 2Ghz single core CPU ~1GB of ram New Drive: WDC_WD15EARS (jumpered to disabled advanced format) Syslog attached. Data rebuilds in the past have gone ~20MB/sec on this machine. With this new drive the data rebuild is going at ~2MB/sec which is going to take over a week to finish. It has to be something with this drive, but I am not sure what to do as far as troubleshooting.
