Here is a link to the log http://pastebin.com/CwXwPfPE Since my orignal post I reformatted the usb stick and started over as I had many things installed and I wanted a fresh copy of this running. I have a back up. In the log there is a problem with the only 3TB drive. I don't understand it. I just setup the machine it is in. There were no problems with it until I switched the 2TB parity drive with a 3TB drive. I am running the latest version named 5.0-rc6-r8168-test. You will notice in the log I restarted the machine after the first initial start. I pulled the parity drive from one slot and stuck into another. This is what I get from unraid when setting up the drives. The 3TB drive is missing. And the drive light continues to blink. I am using X7DBE-X with 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 and Super Talent 2GB PC2-5300 DDR2-667MHz ECC Registered CL5 240-Pin DIMM which I ran memtest on. If anyone is interested I got this from here http://goo.gl/0UvPQ which were on avsforum. More on one their way to eBay. Anything I can add for some help I would be glad to know what that it is. Thanks.

I just bought this drive. I cleared the drive days ago. I don't recall seeing errors on the preclear. I only did the preclear once. I am seeing errors after syncing it to teh array. I had a 2TB drive as the parity before. This is my first time with unRIAD and seeing errors. Been using unRAID for about a year on this setup. Also, is this something I can just take back to the store? Best Buy had them for $150 so I snagged one as I am getting low on space. I also have this: smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sdj smartctl 5.40 2010-10-16 r3189 [i486-slackware-linux-gnu] (local build) Copyright © 2002-10 by Bruce Allen, http://smartmontools.sourceforge.net === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Device Model: WDC WD30EZRX-00MMMB0 Serial Number: WD-WCAWZ2240746 Firmware Version: 80.00A80 User Capacity: 3,000,592,982,016 bytes Device is: Not in smartctl database [for details use: -P showall] ATA Version is: 8 ATA Standard is: Exact ATA specification draft version not indicated Local Time is: Fri Jul 20 00:28:09 2012 CDT SMART support is: Available - device has SMART capability.

Wow, super quick reply. That is interesting but bot close enough to what I am looking for. Thanks prostuff1.

Why not just use SMB to access space on unRAID from other machines? Because having to move files around on the "Tower" using SMB would need the files to transfer from "Tower" to SMB viewing machine and back to "Tower". I could use telnet but that is no fun and not easy at all. It's geeky, which is cool, but it takes way to much time to move around tons of stuff. I am looking for a GUI to view and transfer bits on the "Tower" but actually at the machine itself. Like telnet but with a GUI. Does anything exist like that? Thanks

If you RDM when you say "10 mapped drives", Windows7 is not going to read them, or write them. Nine of the ten will be reiserFS, and the parity is on the last one. This thread does not use RDM. The controller is passed to the guest and unRAID alone sees the controller and connected drives. I think I understand what you are explaining. unRAID is the only OS that sees the that sees the controller and no other OS can see it at the same time. If that is correct then is there something that can be ran in unRAID, software or a vm, that can see everything? "See" meaning view, read, and write the data on there shares.

So say you have the ESXi machine with unRAID as a vm with 10 mapped drives. You will also have Windows 7 installed, a vm, of course. Can the Windows 7 vm touch the data on those 10 drives? Read only, read/write, or anything? If not can it access the drives faster through the machine I/O some how instead of LAN and mounting the drives with SMB? What I am getting at is being able to have an unRAID machine/vm with Windows being able to access the bits at fast speeds as if it was native to the Windows machine? Say cut and paste from one unRAID drive to another but by using Windows. Thanks
