  1. I use a file system to serve up files and when, on a very regular basis, it cannot serve those files then, yes, my installation is screwed. I understand this is not expensive software and I also understand these types of issues because I am a software developer myself. However, when my file system cannot perform its basic function reliably then it is of no use to me. This issue puts me at a crossroads because the current version that works (4.7) does not support the larger drives I would like to use so I must upgrade my license to add more drives. I'm not sure I want to put more money or time investment in a system I cannot rely on so I may need to search for other alternatives. That is not intended as a jab at the fine developers of this software. It is just a simple reality of my situation.
  2. I decided to try rc11 and this is still happening. Files and even whole directories that are actually there report intermittent "file not found" errors. The syslog doesn't even appear to report anything when this happens. This has totally screwed my installation. Is it possible we are dealing with a case-sensitivity issue somewhere? syslog-20130207-082402.zip
  3. No because this was never acknowledged as an issue and it is kind of a scary thing to test as I'm never sure the data isn't actually going to be gone. If lime says they found something and fixed it, then I'll be happy to give it another go.
  4. Any update on this? I never got a reply to my email.
  5. Possibly. If you try to access some of your files (like just open one in notepad), does Windows report that the file doesn't exist?
  6. I tried again with the new network card and the same thing is happening. I've sent you an email and will have to revert back to 4.7 again.
  7. Sorry. I moved off of that version since I was afraid of losing actual data. I was running a user-created build of the RC because I had a realtek network card in the machine and the official version didn't include a driver for it. I have since replaced my network card with an Intel one so I will try the official release and see if I have any similar issues. Thanks.
  8. Here is a syslog from when I was running 5.0rc8a. syslog-20121123-112710.zip
  9. I have upgraded from 4.7 because I bought a new 3TB drive for parity without realizing 4.7 didn't support it. I got through the issues with my realtek network card but now the system appears very unreliable. I'm not sure if this is related to or the same thing as the "shares randomly disappearing" issue reported out here. My shares stay intact. The problem is random files deep within the share structure just become unavailable. The files are listed in windows explorer but if you try to open one it says the file doesn't exist. Rebooting the server fixes the issue fora few minutes and then files just start doing this again. I guess I need to go back to 4.7 and just run with no parity until 5.0 is really ready (or find another 2TB parity drive). Is there any problem with downgrading now that the new permissions script was run?
  10. Thanks. I went ahead and installed that version and it appears to be working fine. Building my parity back now.
  11. Nevermind - I pulled the card and, sure enough, the chip says RTL8169s. This really sux. My parity drive failed and I bought a new 3TB not realizing it would not work with 4.7. So now I either have no parity or a too-slow network connection to serve my media.
  12. Okay, I guess this is my problem too since upgrading to any 5.0 release gives me no network on the unRaid box. 4.7 has been working great for a year. I also have a cheap PCI nic card. My motherboard is not that old but only has a 100MB integrated NIC. How do I confirm that my PCI nic has this particular chipset so that I know this is the issue I am facing?
