I just precleared an old Maxtor 200GB drive that passed and tried to mount it as the cache drive, but surprisingly the drive shows up as unformatted when I started the array. Drive is sde. Seems like there's a filesystem problem? I've attached the syslog start from when I started the array, and the SMART report posted after preclear was finished, which looks fine to me... Clicking on the cache drive, it shows this, which suggests it should be formatted (I'm assuming): Partition format: MBR: 4K-aligned (factory-erased) What should I do now? Thanks. syslog.txt smart.txt

Can someone give me a step by step instructions on how to install s2ram and what to edit in this script file and in my 'go' script to work with s2ram? Thanks.

Just add this to the 'go' script and it should sleep 15 minutes after all drives are spun down right? /boot/custom/bin/s3.sh Just wondering: This script doesn't seem to stop the array, just wait for all drives to be spun down, and then sleep. Does the array need to be stopped before sleeping? Edit: I just did some testing by running echo 3 > /proc/acpi/sleep on the prompt. I stopped the array before sleeping, and I noticed that when I wake the server is stopped. Was I supposed to not have stopped the server before sleeping? Would that have made the server remain started when I wake on LAN? I just felt it made sense that everything should be stopped before sleeping, since it's pretty much similar to shutting down the server. Thanks.

When the magic packet is sent using the batch file, do all the drives in the array spin up? Is there a way to just wake the server without spinning up all disks until they are each accessed individually? Thanks.

Can I get some clarification on the -B option? It says use it to prevent an unmounted drive to show up as unformatted (when it's actually formatted, I'm assuming). Is this more of a cosmetic issue? Can I do /boot/cache_dirs -w -b?

I didn't read the entire thread but.. is there a way to wake up the server without using a batch file, but rather from just accessing the network share in Windows? I have them all mapped.

Thanks Joe, that's definitely great to hear. What do all the old_age and pre-fail mean then? When I first saw them, they were displeasing, until I saw others who had good drives also had those. Why would they have such statuses if they are fine? I'm concerned about my WD EARS then - my last drive posted. When I was migrating data from the disk in Windows, some files would not get copied, and I was reported I/O Error, 0x8007045d. They weren't important files, and I thought, maybe preclear will fix it, it's probably a corrupted sector or something. But when I tried to preclear it, it just hung. It even brought down unMENU with it, but it was probably just a coincidence. After a few minutes when I got back into unMENU, it reported: kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdd, sector 1495592 (Errors) kernel: Buffer I/O error on device sdd, logical block 186949 (Errors) That can't be good, right? Should I run a long SMART on this drive? Thanks.

Just wondering, what merit does the 'threshold' and 'type' have? I see a lot of people have values higher than the threshold where the types are saying pre-fail or old_age... are these of any concern or just the RAW_VALUE is what we care about? I'm curious as to why my Seagate is reporting some interesting numbers... Aren't these really big numbers?
