  1. What about this Pentium: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116950 with multiple addons (see original post). Is the I3 overkill or worth the extra cost. Also I am checking that a ATX MB will fit in my Azza Helios 910 with 3 Norco 500s (they protrude pretty far into the case). Looks like it will though.
  2. What about this CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116947 and this MB+Mem: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813128592 I'll think about the Supermicro. Do you know if it is picky about which memory sticks you can use?
  3. Yeah that's what I'm thinking. I put off upgrading to 5.0 because my server was doing everything I wanted it to on 4.7. So I guess its an early Christmas this year! I'll start browsing around the forum for 15 drive 5.0 hardware.
  4. I setup a new key and pulled all the array drives and it is exhibiting the same symptoms. Seems like something is faulty with the hardware. I am running memtest right now to check the memory. Does anyone know of some other ways to test the hardware? Thanks
  5. I copied the flash then ran check disk - no errors reported. I booted the server and again and it came up stable just long enough for me to grab a syslog (see attached). Then the monitor at the console went blank and I could not longer access the flash share. Telnet works, my other shares are accessible and my add-ons seem to be running fine except for unmenu which is sluggish and most of the pages are not accessible. For example, when I go to the syslog page in unmenu all I get is "e </BODY></HTML> 0". While it is still on (for how long who knows) is there any troubleshooting anyone can think for me to do? Thanks syslog-2013-11-21.txt
  6. My server was unresponsive today. I tried to connect via unmenu, the stock web interface, telnet, and at the console and could get no response. When trying to connect via telnet I could enter user and password but no other commands would work after logging in. When I was at the console the screen was blank and no response from the keyboard commands (powerdown, restart, control alt del, etc.) it appeared that the usb keyboard was not working (no lights, even when toggling caps lock, num lock, scroll lock). Against my better judgement I decided to press the restart button as I could see that none of the drives where spun up. The server restarted normally and the keyboard at the console was working however a parity check did not automatically start which I though was going to happen because of the ungraceful restart. I started a parity check and decided to look on the flash share for a saved sys log. I could'nt access the flash share but I could access all other shares. I took a look at the current sys log and noticed some errors concerning high speed usb initialization failures and restart attempts (should have grabed a screen shot). I started to suspect there was a problem with the usb ports so I decided to cancel the parity check. The parity check successfully stopped but the server became unresponsive again. I checked the console and the keyboard would not work in any usb ports. I decide to shutdown and test different keyboards and usb ports by entering the bios and navigating around. Before doing this I pulled the unraid flash drive and disconnected the hard drives. I could'nt get any of the keyboard/usb port combos to work. So I think there may be a problem with my motherboard. Does anybody have any other troubleshooting advice? Here is my setup: Unraid 4.7 MB - Biostar A760G M2+. 1 x SATA2 Serial ATA II PCI-Express RAID Controller Card (Silicon Image SIL3132) 1 x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8-Port SAS/SATA Add-on Card 3 x Norco SS-500 Azza Helios 910 Corsair TX650 I run the following add-ons: SabNZBD Couchpotato Sickbeard Unmenu Crashplan Thanks in advance for any advice.
  7. The case is a AZZA Helios 910 with Norco SS-500 cages. There is room on top of the power supply and on the floor of the case between the cages and power supply. The later would receive some airflow from the drive cages and this area of the case floor is vented. Thanks for the tips.
  8. I have a case maxed out with 3 5-in-3 drive cages (15 hard drive slots) but the MB and SATA controllers I use gives me 16 SATA ports. I am interested in finding a way to use the 16th SATA port. What is the best way to mount a single 3.5 HD internally? Thanks in advance.
  9. Thanks for the advice. I'll wait until this issue is resolved to upgrade to 5.xx. I'll be certain to use an already pre-cleared drive for the parity replacement.
  10. I noticed several errors in my syslog (attached) that appear to be associated with my parity drive (smart report attached). I am using unRAID version 4.7. Here are some examples from syslog: Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: exception Emask 0x0 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x0 action 0x0 (Errors) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: irq_stat 0x40000001 (Drive related) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: failed command: READ DMA EXT (Minor Issues) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: cmd 25/00:18:18:f8:f4/00:00:29:00:00/e0 tag 0 dma 12288 in (Drive related) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: res 51/40:07:20:f8:f4/00:00:29:00:00/e0 Emask 0x9 (media error) (Errors) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: status: { DRDY ERR } (Drive related) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: error: { UNC } (Errors) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10.00: configured for UDMA/133 (Drive related) Sep 4 05:57:34 Tower kernel: ata10: EH complete (Drive related) And: Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdi] ASC=0x11 ASCQ=0x4 (Drive related) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: sd 4:0:0:0: [sdi] CDB: cdb[0]=0x28: 28 00 6f da 98 50 00 04 00 00 (Drive related) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: end_request: I/O error, dev sdi, sector 1876596816 (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: md: disk0 read error (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: handle_stripe read error: 1876596752/0, count: 1 (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: md: disk0 read error (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: handle_stripe read error: 1876596760/0, count: 1 (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: md: disk0 read error (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: handle_stripe read error: 1876596768/0, count: 1 (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: md: disk0 read error (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: handle_stripe read error: 1876596776/0, count: 1 (Errors) Sep 4 20:39:12 Tower kernel: ata10: EH complete (Drive related) Do I need to replace the parity drive? I am thinking that I should replace the parity drive with a new drive and let parity rebuild. After which I plan to test the current (potential bad) parity drive with a few pre-clear passes to see if the pending sectors are resolved. Based on this testing I may add back to the array. Any thoughts on this plan or recommendations for better/alternate ways forward? Also interested in any advice that will allow me to upgrade to version 5 during this process/parity drive replacement. Current hardware is: MB - Biostar A760G M2+. 1 x SATA2 Serial ATA II PCI-Express RAID Controller Card (Silicon Image SIL3132) 1 x Supermicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 8-Port SAS/SATA Add-on Card 3 x Norco SS-500 Azza Helios 910 Corsair TX650 I run the following add-ons: SabNZBD Couchpotato Sickbeard Unmenu Crashplan Thanks in advance for any help. syslog-2012-09-05.zip Smart_Report.txt
  11. It could be the battery or related to the usb port you have your OS booting from. I had the same problem when using a case usb port but when switched to a motherboard usb port the problem was fixed.
  12. What/is there recommended HD controller to use 7-8 HDs on this board? I have my eye on this case: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811112339 Thanks in advance.
