Was wondering if you could add a Norco RPC-2106? I run this unit stacked on top of a Norco-4224... Possible to draw this double stacked configuration? Many thanks Bmoney

Great app....I have been using it for sometime, but wanted to know if one could add the option of specifying a Ultra HD-DVD and/or BluRay drive(s)? As shown below, I run a 4224 Norco with a 2106 stacked on top...the two drives on the far right of the 2106 are a Bluray and HD-DVD drive. Would be great to be able to add the optical drives and also adjust the schematic to match the picture? Thanks! Bmoney

I have a noob question regarding NFS exports: I have exported an UnRAID folder share using *(ro,all_squash,insecure) and have set all folders/files in the path using chmod 777 * -R. I have verified the w/r/x; however, I can mount and view the directories using XBMC v11 (win 7) but cannot open/read the files. I believe the issues is on the UnRAID side. I am missing something here? I have searched the forums, but are there known bugs w/NFS in v4.7? Thanks.

Any luck with 3TB drives with the SIL3132 card installed on the Biostar A760G+ MB? Many thanks for the help!

Hi, I currently have all my PCIe x1 & x4 slots filled w/controller cards and wanted to add external SATA drives for backup etc... Is there any issue adding a standard PCI 2-port card to my system just for SNAP? Downsides: I assume the cheap-o 2 or 4-port monoprice.com cards here will not handle >2TB drives? It is my understanding that the speed would be limited to ~1.5Gbps but these drives would not be used for parity check etc... Likewise, when do unRaid users add drives to their array? After the current array of drives are 70% / 80% /90% full ? thanks. B.

Another noobie questions regarding unMenu 1.4r223 running on unRaid 4.7 I am having issues accessing unMenu on a consistant basis; I have it on the default 8080 port and get "cannot display webpage" ~60% of the time. I have tried changing the port but it has not worked.... below is my syslog Jul 26 18:37:39 192 unmenu[10057]: awk: ./unmenu.awk:306: fatal: can't open two way socket `/inet/tcp/8080/0/0' for input/output (No such file or directory) Jul 26 18:37:39 192 unmenu-status: Exiting unmenu web-server, exit status code = 2 Any thoughts? I wanted to add sick, couch, etc... but want to work out the issues first without the overlay. One more question, can sick/couch run w/o a cache drive? Thanks B

Will this card support current/future 3+ TB drives? There is a thread on the AVS forums that says "no"; has anyone confirmed?

Hi, I am running preclear 1.9 w/unraid pro 4.7, just finished preclearing a WD20EARS drive (unjumpered w/4k Alignment) after ~40 hours. Very slow inital drive rates ~14MB/sec, but seemed to pickup near the end... Results are below: ========================================================================1.9 == invoked as: ./preclear_disk.sh /dev/sde == WDC WD20EARS-00MVWB0 WD-WMAZA0976314 == Disk /dev/sde has been successfully precleared == with a starting sector of 64 == Ran 1 cycle == == Using :Read block size = 8225280 Bytes == Last Cycle's Pre Read Time : 20:19:18 (27 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Zeroing time : 6:16:53 (88 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Post Read Time : 13:31:10 (41 MB/s) == Last Cycle's Total Time : 40:09:32 == == Total Elapsed Time 40:09:32 == == Disk Start Temperature: 26C == == Current Disk Temperature: 26C, == ============================================================================ ** Changed attributes in files: /tmp/smart_start_sde /tmp/smart_finish_sde ATTRIBUTE NEW_VAL OLD_VAL FAILURE_THRESHOLD STATUS RAW_VALUE Raw_Read_Error_Rate = 195 200 51 ok 738 Reallocated_Sector_Ct = 194 200 140 ok 118 Seek_Error_Rate = 200 1 0 ok 0 Reallocated_Event_Count = 198 200 0 ok 2 No SMART attributes are FAILING_NOW 0 sectors were pending re-allocation before the start of the preclear. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after pre-read in cycle 1 of 1. 0 sectors were pending re-allocation after zero of disk in cycle 1 of 1. 33 sectors are pending re-allocation at the end of the preclear, a change of 33 in the number of sectors pending re-allocation. 0 sectors had been re-allocated before the start of the preclear. 118 sectors are re-allocated at the end of the preclear, a change of 118 in the number of sectors re-allocated. ============================================================================ Should I RMA the drive? or re-run preclear? Not sure what the results are telling me.....but the re-allocation is worrying me... Thanks. -B

Many thanks for the help. After ~22 hours I am on step #2 of the preclear with ~110 MB/sec with the WD20EARS. As per your suggestion, I will have a look at the preclear report and re-run to ensure the drive is okay. Again, thanks. -B

I am a noobie and just build my first 14 bay NAS...apologies to the mods if this should be in another section. I have run into an issue trying to add a new WD20EARS (non-jumpered). I am just purchased unraid pro v4.7 and tried to preclear the 20EARS with the 4k alignment active. The preclear hdd speed was ~14 MB/s and 50% complete on step 1 after ~11hours. I have stopped the preclear checked the drive speeds and swapped drive position. The issue follow the drive NOT the bay/sata; my other three drives (x1 750 GB, x2 -2 TB Hitachi) precleared and work fine. Likewise, the hdparm for the drive is below: /dev/sdd: Timing cached reads: 2618 MB in 2.00 seconds = 1308.64 MB/sec Timing buffered disk reads: 4 MB in 9.41 seconds = 435.43 kB/sec Any thoughts on this? Do I need to RMA the drive, add the jumper (? - thought that I was all set with 4.7 and latest preclear) or just brute force the preclear? Thanks. B
