Thanks BubbaQ, I just tried again per your suggestion. I only have two drives right now. Disk1 and parity. I made a screenshot of my unRAID config to compare. With bubbaraid they came up in the same order. It must be something else. I won't worry about it too much for now as I am going to be upgrading to a new mobo within the week. I am using an old ASUS asus a7n8x deluxe with a user customized bios that has a fix for the SATA firmware. Once my new setup is up and running I'll try again and post the results. Thanks for your help. Pedro

I am running version: 4.3.3 Is that one not the correct one? Thanks.

Hi Guys, I tried to run BubbaRAID today but when things came up my array was no invalid and gave me an Invalid configuration. I imediately reverted back to regular UnRaid and all came back fine. Any ideas why this may have happened? Thanks, Pedro

Hi Guys, Last week I got unRAID up and running on an old Athlon XP 2500+ computer. Everything looks good so far. I had a Celeron D 3.33GHz kicking around which should be a bit faster. Will this be adequate for the long run? My end state will be: Antec 900 case Gigabyte GA-945GCM-S2C mATX LGA775 954GC 1PCI-E16 3PCI SATA2 Video Sound LAN Motherboard (4 SATA ports) 1 GB RAM Celeron D 3.33GHz LSI RAID card (4 SATA) 1 Samsung 1TB drive (parity) 1 Seagate 750GB (IDE) 2 Hitachi 750GB 1 Samsung 1TB drive on hand in case of failures. I'll be buying the 6 drive license next week. Let me know if the CPU will be acceptable. Thanks all, Pedro

Great thank you! I will do that. Parity Sata 750GB Disk1 Sata 750GB Disk2 IDE 750GB Once that is full I will get a licence and add on likely 2 - 1TB or 1.5 TB. At that point I'll upgrade the parity to one of the larger drives. Next I'd love to get torrentflux working on it to take care of my torrents as well. I've used torrentflux for a few years now. First on a xbox nas, then a centos nas. Anyone out there try torrentflux on UNRAID? Pedro

Thanks Joe, Would you recommend using the IDE drive as parity? That would be the ideal scenario. I was just concerned that the Parity drive would need better disk IO. What was you experience like having the IDE drive for parity? Thanks a bunch. Pedro

Thanks Joe. I was able to disable the bios on the card. However I ran into a problem where the the mobo sata bios would hand when initializing the drive on the card. I found out that it was a bug in the firmware. I found a user made version of the bios for my board where they added a more recent version of the SATA firmware. I installed it and now works like a charm. Thanks for all your help. Here's a curiosity question: I am planning in installing 3 drivers for now. all of the 750GB drives. But one will be IDE. If the IDE drive was to die one day would I be able to replace it with a SATA drive and UNRAID rebuild it? Thanks. Pedro

Thanks for the help guys. I got it up and running. It would not recognize the nic that I was trying to use as eth0. But using the other one seemed to work even though when I installed Centos it would only work on the other. Strange, nevertheless I am up. Next problem: It is not recognizing the drives on my LSI Megaraid SATA 150-6. I added a drive on there using RAID0. But UNRAID is not detecting it. Does UNRAID not work with that card? Thanks again.

It isn't a workgroup issue: I've tried assigning a static IP and the IP is not pingable. Although a ifconfig eth0 will show it correctly configured with the IP. I've ensured only the active NIC is enabled in the bios which is the 3COM. If I try to let it use DHCP it does not grab the IP. The ifconfig shows no IP. The UNRAID usb key is labelled as such. I will try to see the errors and grab a syslog Thanks guys.

Hi, I've just tried to run unRaid. I am using an old Asus A7N8X Deluxe. I has a 3com nic and nvidia nic onboard. Does anyone know if these can be made to work? Or will I have to buy a separate Nic? Thank you.
