  1. Welcome to MicroServer owners My todays uptime: root@EvgNas:~# uptime 18:28:22 up 73 days, 19:17, 1 user, load average: 0.38, 0.38, 0.36
  2. This is the link to new modified BIOS, based on latest version from HP: http://rghost.ru/4654133 I didn't try it yet, but two guys on russian forum confirmed it's ok.
  3. Hooray ! I've got solution with low write speed (only 9Mbytes/sec) on ODD port. Now I'm running preclear on WD6400AAKS with 110Mbytes/sec on ODD port ! The point was with MicroServer BIOS - ODD and eSATA ports are in "SATA combined" mode (IDE emulation) and there is no way to change it in standard BIOS. One Russian guy with nick Int13H slightly modified BIOS to include South Bridge configuration menus - you can easily disable "SATA combined mode". Here is the topic http://forum.ixbt.com/topic.cgi?id=11:41849-25#877 and new BIOS download link http://narod.ru/disk/4953126001/ahci.zip.html If you are brave enough and want to get full-function on ODD port follow those steps: 1. download September 2010 BIOS firmware setup from HP and follow HP instructions to create bootable usb stick 2. download from the link above and unzip ahci.zip, copy files ahci.bat and ahci_o.rom to usb 3. Boot from this USB stick, first the standard BIOS would be flashed in autoexec.bat. Then run ahci.bat 4. reboot, enter BIOS and disable SATA combined mode in SouthBridge submenu Good luck, Zhenya
  4. I noticed this too. My first solution was just to copy directory to hard drive, somehow like this: cp -r /boot/custom/transmission/transmission.conf /mnt/disk2/share/torrents/ and then simply edit script /boot/custom/transmission/transctl, variable TRANSCONF to point to the new location (remember to use CR-LF safe editor) This worked, but I was not satisfied becuase 90% time my NAS is only seeding and this writes keep my parity drive spun up. So I made additional transctl script: added copying transmission.conf to /tmp before start and copy back to hard driver on transmission stop. And new TRANSCONF value point to /tmp/transmission.conf. Good luck !
  5. Good day. Just one more happy unraid (4.5.6) on microserver user. Made some upgrade: added 4Gb memory, attached APC UPS, HP DeskJet printer and sold 160Gb original disk Got 4 hdd installed: 2Tb Seagate 7200 RPM for parity 2Tb, 1Tb, 750Gb WD green for data. Parity check goes at 70 Mbytes/sec. Network (samba) data upload to the servers goes at about 20Mbytes/sec. Now trying to add fifth hdd - 640Gb WD AAKS to the ODD sata port. This port is actually PATA-SATA bridge. atiixp 0000:00:14.1: IDE controller (0x1002:0x439c rev 0x40) ATIIXP_IDE 0000:00:14.1: PCI INT B -> GSI 17 (level, low) -> IRQ 17 atiixp 0000:00:14.1: not 100%% native mode: will probe irqs later ide0: BM-DMA at 0xff00-0xff07 ide1: BM-DMA at 0xff08-0xff0f Probing IDE interface ide0... ... hdb: WDC WD6400AAKS-00A7B0, ATA DISK drive hdb: host max PIO4 wanted PIO255(auto-tune) selected PIO4 hdb: UDMA/100 mode selected .. hdb: max request size: 512KiB hdb: Host Protected Area detected. ^Icurrent capacity is 1250261615 sectors (640133 MB) ^Inative capacity is 1250263728 sectors (640135 MB) hdb: 1250261615 sectors (640133 MB) w/16384KiB Cache, CHS=65535/255/63 hdb: cache flushes supported I started preclear and read was Ok - around 95Mbytes/sec But zeroing is done at only 9Mbytes/sec ! No errors in syslog. Please, can someone confirm normal write speeds on ODD port ? Maybe the problem is hdd itself. Or I have to buy pci-e sata controller to add more disks. And the best solution would be some tweak in atiixp driver..
