    The UPS has a 9617 Network Management Card in it and is connected directly to my network. No serial or USB connection is used.

    A corrective or non corrective one?
  3. dikkiedirk
    The UPS is a IBM rebrand of the APC SmartUPS 1500, it was installed march 2012, it shows a rumtime of 70 minutes when I am running a parity check. My server has 15 disks. Does the setting for Battery Level override the Minutes setting? What exactly does the timeout setting do? BTW, this was the first time the batteries were exhausted. The show full capacity now.

    Is it normal behaviour that after an unclean shutdown a corrective parity check is started? Both the WEBGUI and syslog indicate so.

    Can a UPS be setup and configured the same in a unraid VM as in baremetal unraid? Or are there special considerations that need to be taken care off? In unraid apcupsd is configured like shown in the attachment. Are these settings about right or need the Battery Level, Minutes and Tmeout be set differently? Unraid might powerdown clean but the ESXi box will drain the batteries and shutdown when the batteries are empty right now. How need things be configured that the unraid VM will autostart after ESXi is started when power comes back?

    You gonna get rid of that SATA card aren't you? It should not cause trouble when properly seated, doesn't seem proper to me .

    I have my UPS set-up and configured like shown in the attachment. What timings should I set to allow the server to properly powerdown? The settings as shown don't work because the server was shutdown "dirty" last night because of a power outage and is now running a parity check.

    I don't know which speeds are mentioned here, but yesterday I have been moving files from one disk in the array to an other in MC. Speeds reported by MC were between 28 and 42 MB/s. 42 MB/s was reported with files larger than 4 GB. My VM was assigned 4 GB memory. Total memory is 16 GB. Don't know what is "normal" BTW.

    It might still be moved from diska to diskb? Will the cache disk be used then? I would like the files to stay on the disk they are on now. Use the disk shares... A file on /mnt/disk1 will stay on disk1 unless you move it to another disk. Joe L. So easy, why didn't I think of that? Probably because I haven't the separate disks exported.

    Wait till rebuilt has finished. Then parity check. If everything is ok, do several preclear runs on the old disk and check smart reports. A red ball happens even when 1 write failed. Is the disk still under warranty? You might try to RMA it.

    Hi, Can you please help with the following: I added several disks from an old build to my server. The thing is that the files on those disks were just "dumped" in a share called "Media". I now want to add subdirectories to this share like Bluray, MKV, TV Series, and then move the respective files to these subdirectories. Can this be done so the files won't be actually copied and stay on the disk they are now on? This saves a lot of time, I am talking about several TBs of data. Maybe any of you guys have another way of doing this?

    How can I test for that slow-write issue? Is it copying files from one disk to the other or from a Windows PC over the network to the unraid server? Config is in my sig.

    Which CPU?

    What are you gonna do with it?

    I think these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101492 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16842101421 or maybe lower wattage will do nicely.

    They seemed so pleased at networkmediatank and PCH that they beat HDI Dune in the race of releasing a Sigma 8911 based 3D mediaplayer. But so far all I hear is trouble, problems, bugs etc. So are there any unraid users who own a PCH A-400 player who are pleased with the performance and would recommend it as a good buy. Or is it the same story as with many PCH players, that in the current state it seems a little rushed and it needs several firmware updates before it does at advertised: play mkv, bluray rips in ISO 3D etc. without problems.

    I just: Stop the array Go to tower/flash on the network Rename bzroot and bzimage then copy the bzroot and bzimage from RC10 to tower/flash reboot the server and RC10 up and running No need to transfer stick to PC. Updating takes just a few minutes. You might try to download again or you didn't eject the stick properly fromthe PC after copying the files.

    10 is a later version. I just commented out the lines that load 3.6.8 on the GO script and upgraded to RC10.

    Great work! Thanks Tom. Very close to 5.0 final I presume?
  20. dikkiedirk
    A bit of a harsh statement. We all want things simply to work amd many of us are Windows users. I ran into several permissions issues, but often they were my only fault and solved by running the New Permissions script. And Windows has its issues too/

    I guess it would. A SSD doesnt spin, so there will be no spin down or spin up.

    1 Run a parity check first (parity disk is a neccesity) 2 stop the array 3 power off 4 replace ONE drive with a precleared 2 TB drive 5 power on 6 assign the 2 TB disk 7 start the array and let the disk rebuild repeat 2-7 another 19 times.

    Have you tried other 5.0 betas or RCs? What nic sits in the dell? Might be u r missing a driver in RC8a.
  24. dikkiedirk
    Some USB 3 ports need additional drivers wich are loaded in the OS.

    You can get all the fancy hardware like motherboards, harddisk controllers and all. But if you use a unraid version that doesn't support 3TB disks then you end up with a server without 3 TB support. A chain is as strong as the weakest link. My first unraid server was built in a HP EX490 WHS case. Under WHS that came with HP never said it would support 3 TB drives. Unraid 5.0b12a worked fine with 3 TB disks.
