Hi all, Last week I tried to set one of my shares to use my cache drive. After I hit "Apply" in the web interface, emhttp hung. I killed it from the console, and tried to start it over, but I'm now getting a segfault. Syslog says: Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer emhttp: unRAID System Management Utility version 5.0-beta12a (Lime Tech) Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer emhttp: Copyright (C) 2005-2011, Lime Technology, LLC (Lime Tech) Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer emhttp: Pro key detected, GUID: 05DC-A731-PBBV-BYYBMTQ7F4A8 (Other emhttp) Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer emhttp: rdevName.22 not found (Other emhttp) Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer emhttp: diskFsStatus.1 not found (Other emhttp) Nov 7 10:29:45 mimer kernel: emhttp[20127]: segfault at 0 ip b74a1760 sp bfcac0a0 error 4 in libc-2.11.1.so[b7428000+15c000] (Errors) A forum search shows that this error has been seen as early as 5b8, and also at least for one person also running 5b12a. Any ideas on how to proceed? Attached is the output of mdcmd status. mdcmd_status.txt

Discovered Downpour the other day: http://jongsma.org/downpour/ And would quite like to install that alongside SABnzbd/Sick Beard instead of Transmission. I've got setuptools installed (if not persisting through reboots), and tried easy_install downpour. That required a C compiler, which I installed. Currently, it blows up when I get to Twisted-Web and can't find the right package. That, I probably can resolve later. Right now, I'm fishing for ideas on how to make downpour persist. Can python's site_packages directory be relocated to flash? Is there a better way?

http://tower/ should work (the http: bit matters )

i did some more googling, and found this one liner to sort out my file permissions: find /mnt/disk[1-4] -type f -exec chmod 644 {} \;

So I've just got my new unRaid system up (using 4.7b1 and 4K-aligned partittions), and have successfully transferred my data from my old FrankenServer. So far, so good However, I'm experiencing a weird issue: browsing my shares, some directories appear empty - until I tell windows not to "hide protected operating system files". All files and folders are owned by nobody:users. The files I am not able to view do have the executable bit set, which seems to tell Samba "do not show this file unless forced to" so, my problem seems to have two possible solutions: 1) somehow tell Samba not to map +x to the "system" attribute 2) run a command that traverses my data, stripping the executable bit. This somehow feels less hacky any help appreciated!

Ah ofc that would certainly explain things! typical usage shouldn't pull from more than one data drive at a time, so no worries there. I've gone and dropped DKK 900 on a eSATA-to-SATA cable and another WD20EARS - I'd completely forgotten those kinds of cables existed when I placed my initial order. And the math is perfect: 10 drives, 10 drive bays At some point before starting the array, I'll probably mess around w/the BIOS SATA mappings. I've installed them in the drive bays in descending order, and would like the /dev/sd[x] names to reflect that.

I remember picking this case precisely for it's massivosity . Yup, it'll fit 20 disks nicely w/some 5-in-3s, and with a bit of coaxing I can at LEAST fit 4 more drives from the "roof" of the case, maybe even 8 screw some 4-in-3s in there, sideways-like maybe? For the record: I am using latest preclear_disk.sh with the -A option

I'm noticing something strange while preclearing: the motherboard-connected drives are getting ~50% higher speeds than the ones on the RR board - I started preclearing last night, just short of 15hrs ago. The drives on the mobo are at or very near the post-read phase, and had write sppeds of 90-100MB/s, while the controller-connected drives are limping along @ 40-45 MB/s. Some investigation seems to be in order!

Well, thank you, sir! Yup

After the motherboard died on my old hodge-podge budget-part server build, I decided to put a financial windfall toward a new server. Research into available OS options led me to unRAID I live in Denmark, so product links are to Komplett.dk, where I ordered my parts. Komplett also has stores in the UK, Ireland, Germany, Sweden and Norway, AFAIK. OS at time of building: unRAID 4.7-beta1 on Lexar Jumpdrive 2GB CPU: AMD Athlon II 250 w/Noctua NH-U12P SE2 cooler and Artic Silver Ceramique Motherboard: Asus M4A88T-V EVO RAM: 2x Crucial 2GB Case: Chieftec CA-01 An older version - I kept the case from my old build. To keep noise down, I've dremel'd the mesh covering the fans off, and lined the case with 2mm cork mats from Biltema. Power Supply: Corsair HX 650W SATA Expansion Card(s): HighPoint RocketRaid 2300 Cables: 4x Akasa 1m cables, 4x RocketRaid-included cables, 1x motherboard-included cable, 1x eSATA-SATA adapter cable Fans: 2x Fractal Design 120mm (case exhaust), 3x Fractal Design 92mm (disks), plus Nexus noise-dampening rubber frames. Parity Drive:WD20EARS Data Drives: 8x WD20EARS Cache Drive: WD20EARS Total Drive Capacity: ~14,6GB + cache. All drives are unjumpered. Primary Use: Media server, general backup, dedicated torrent box Likes: Ability to recover data from disks independently of unRAID Dislikes: none so far Add Ons Used: unMenu, preclear_disk.sh, a ton of installed packages. Future Plans:Save up for controller card + 5-in-3 or 4-in-3 drive cages + disks No multimeter, so no power readings. Sorry. Angle view, case open: Disks close-up: Total price of this build: DKK ~12000, (excluding case) of which DKK ~7000 are disks. The CPU cooler IS (way) overkill, but gives me some headroom. Currently preclearing 8 drives (9th drive holds migrated data from old server), and SMART-reported temps are stable @30-32 degrees celsius for all drives. Noise levels are also WAY down from my ghetto-build Note: the motherboard lets you reassign reported SATA channels, but does not report serial number, so there is no way to differentiate identical disks (like my WD20EARS). I'm crazy enough that I've messed around with BIOS settings and moved cables around to get my /dev/sd[n] entries to match the physical order of drives in the case ^^
