I'm not sure what you mean by reset the IP setup through BIOS. Mine is currently on for IPMI network etc etc. So should I turn it off? My IPMI card was setup with some funky IP address through BIOS. I went in and set up IP in my range, gateway and netmask.

Try to load safe BIOS settings, change boot to USB. I have cables plugged into both ethernet ports and DHCP picks it up fine.

I had to plug cable into the port farthest from the USB. The one thats closer to USB's was for the IPMI management card. Also, I have reset the IP setup through BIOS for IPMI and DHCP worked fine for the server.

Hi, Is there any command switch that I could use to write reiserfsck log to a file on the flash drive to so that I could go through all files that are lost so that I know what I need to replace? I assume that I will not be able to get the data back from the drive so i just need to assess damage done. Thanks for your help.

Here is SMART report. Hope its what you looking for. Thanks. smart.txt

I had to stop the memory check (feel safer with with array off with all these potential tornadoes in the area) at little bit over 21 hours with 22 passes 0 errors. Any advice what I should do next? I have another unraid box available and it has different controller - should I try to run it on that machine? Thanks!

It ran 4 full cycles. Didn't run it for 24 hours. I will kick it off tonight to run for that long.

I ran memory test and it passed - no errors... Should I try to remove the drive from this box and run reiserfck on another box?

4 days ago I come home and and my unraid was completely unresponsive so I had to restart the machine. After starting the array, parity check kicked off and by the time it completed, it showed around 928k in corrected errors. When it completed, all ran fine but I noticed when I tried to copy some files for backup, I was getting errors. Last night I tried to watch a movie that I could not copy and it was corrupt. Then I ran across couple others and I got worried about the array. I started to see what was common and it all came down to one drive on which a lot of files were corrupt. So I have stopped the array, started it in maintenance mode and ran reiserfsck --check /dev/md14. When that finished, I got the following error: Bad nodes were found, Semantic pass skipped 10 found corruptions can be fixed only when running with --rebuild-tree So after that I ran reiserfsck --rebuild-tree /dev/md14 and it stopped with the following error: The problem has occurred looks like a hardware problem (perhaps memory). Send us the bug report only if the second run dies at the same place with the same block number. mark_block_used: (149743376) used already Aborted So after that I ran this command reiserfsck --rebuild-tree -S /dev/md14 and got the following error after it ran for 14 hours: bread: Cannot read the block (3304755201): (Invalid argument). Segmentation fault Also, This line showed up in syslog May 19 22:26:26 Tower kernel: reiserfsck[21127]: segfault at c ip 0805bf21 sp bfc12370 error 4 in reiserfsck[8048000+4a000] (Errors) Of course it has to be one of only two 2tb drives in my array that had around 1.7tb in data. When I start the array it shows Unformatted. My linux knowledge is almost nill and I am completely at loss in what should I do at this point :'( At this point i just wish I could retrieve list of files that were on the drive to see if I have their backups. Thanks.

THANKS for the "workstation" mode advice!!! It made soo much difference. Also, these new cases require PWM 80mm fans so the vantec mentioned earlier in this thread will not work.

Thanks. I was using the wring one. I was also messing with BIOS and then I was unable to even boot into UNRAID. Ended up loading fail safe settings and all is well now. Now I need to order new case fans, its soo loud ;-)

I was wondering if anyone has an issue with network card. Mine has not detected DHCP nor works with static entry.
