  1. No can't see that on mine ;-( will have to manually look on the web and see if there is a BIOS patch for this other than from Gigabyte. In the mean time I can always boot a HDAT2 USB drive on my Supermicro UnRaid and clear the disks down that way, starting with the parity.
  2. My board is quite an old one and I have checked the BIOS with Gigabyte and it is the latest.... no HPA or copy BIOS in the menu list though... MOBO is a GA-MA78GM-S2H
  3. Yes loaded the bios update utility and ran it.... no change Damn you GigaByte Damn you to Heck!!!!
  4. Hi Guys lots of good comments. The unraid box has a Supermicro MoBo with no HPA enabled. The other machine is a GigaByte and I can find no way of turning HPA off. As the Raid in in operation and fully loaded with Data I think I will have to disable HPA on the other machine clean the Parity drive then rebuild it then after syncing rebuild the other drives one as a time!!!! Oh well its life!!!
  5. Well I have taken all the disks out and ran them through HDAT2 which did not remove the HPA partion I guess it needs a re-format/partition after this? Putting the disks on my "clean up machine" even added a new HPA partition to one of the disks Grrrrrrr ....Strange thing is after all this work and re-starting Unraid the Parity disk started building!!!! Do I still need to remove the HPA partitions?
  6. OK I can see from the list below that the Parity disk, 0, seems to have a slightly smaller size even though it is also a 3TB drive... Will try to find out how to disable HPA tonight..

As I currently have 7 disks on the box and only 3 are showing HPA I think these must be the disks from my other Raid system and have a hidden HPA partition on them. I have PreCleared the disk but guess it has not removed the partition. Is this partition really such an issue for Unraid, if so I have to fine some method of cleansing the disks
  7. Is HPA an issue with this release then as the BIOS settings have not been changed since the system was running fully configured with 4.7?
  8. All ready to upgrade but looks like the release notes section is offline, so I don't know what bits to patch ;-(
  9. I have an array made up of 2 and 3 TB disk. When I try to add a 3TB disk as the parity I get the message that it is not the largest and it wont add it? Is a 3TB parity disk acceptable still or is there a work around for this?
  10. The command is identical to what it was before the upgrade it all scripted. Essentially there are 6 drives with 3 directories per drive that are encrypted... an example of the unmount command is: fusermount -u /mnt/disk1/Data Is it an issue to do with FUSE and this version of the Kernel? I was on beta14 prior to this, can I downgrade from rc8? Certainly if I bounce the system I am able to mount all encrypted directories after.
  11. I have been using this with no problem of previous releases. Since up grading to rc8a every time i try un-mountig a encfs I get fInvalid argument e.g. usermount: failed to unmount /mnt/disk6/Video: Invalid argument This is an identica syntax to what I had previously... has something changed as part of this release?
  12. Thanks for you help, I'l try that later. My main question was, I know this is a beta release, but would we expect the system to lock up and in such a spectacular fashion or just handle it as it would with a normal disk failure?
  13. I have a strange one here.... I've just been moving my disks around after upgrading some to 2 TB from 1 TB however after a while of rebuilding parity the system just locks up, web server goes down as does any remote session!! When I look at the local console I can see it has got a constant line regarding a bad disk rolling over and over and you can not even login!!! After bouncing the box I can see that one disk is marked as bad!!! After a few attempts I'm now replacing the bad disk and rebuilding from what was in parity then will update from my back up. I just thought it was worth pointing out as this is strange behavior i.e. the system locking up. I've attached some pics and a MOV of the console screen and a syslog all be it after a reboot. Sorry had to amend uploads due to size restrictions.
  14. I could not see it as assigned anywhere and even deleted to super.dat file and restarted..... weird...
