The ASUS M5A78L-M/USB3 looks like it should be a god replacement. I don't dont have a spare NIC to try.

It should but it doesn't: http://www.beardeddonkey.com/home/comments.php?y=12&m=10&entry=entry121007-042518 I can get it to sleep and all the settings are corect but nothing will wake it up. I have to shut it down and reboot.

I'm currently running two servers with ASRock 880GMLE ATX AMD 880G motherboards: http://www.asrock.com/mb/AMD/880GM-LE%20FX/index.us.asp?cat=Specifications In a bid to cut my electricty bill I'm sorting out all my computers for sleep and wake on LAN. After testing and google search I've come to find that WOL will not work on these motherboards. Can someone advise me on what I should replace them with to get at least the same features with proper WOL? I want to use my current CPU, fans ,RAM and PCI/PCIe cards if possible. I'm open to a new processor if need to. These are the attached cards: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/supermicro-aoc-saslp-mv8-8-port-sas-sata-300mb-s-pci-e-controller-card http://www.maplin.co.uk/p/serial-ata-raid-pci-card-a47bb

Thanks for that. Thats why I get Dynamix GUI but no plugins. Sorted now. I put the flash drive in a windows PC and it offered CheckDisk straight away. It's back in and running again now. Still had to install SSH before I could use it. Maybe a issue checkdisk might have fixed?? When I tried to shutdown it couldn't unmount all the drives. I ran this command on each drive: fuser -k /mnt/disk1 It was disk 7 that wasn't unmounting for some reason. At least using that command I didn't have to do a parity check after start up. I'll have to keep an eye on it next time.

I've been running two servers for a few years now. Server 1 and server 2. Server 2 has recently starting playing up. When it boots, it starts and runs. I can add content and remove content. Parity syncs fine. I've added unmenu and dynamix and some plugins on both servers. Both running 5.0.5 On server 2 it all installs fine but it doesn't keep dynamix after a reboot. It keeps the plugins working but doesn't show in the web GUI. I know this because it keeps sending me emails. SSH stops working after a while too. If it's left for a few weeks the web GUI either doesn't come up or it does and when I select take array offline it seems to freeze. Only way around is turn switch it off, start it again and let it sync parity. Attached is the current syslog. Is there anything else I need to provide to get help? I've got older syslogs which quite likely has valuable info regarding the shutdown but they are quite large.

The old parity drive won't be in the unRAID server while I get the new parity up and running. I get overly concerned with drive assignment letters and stuff because I don't want to mix anything up. Hell I might even get it taken on a road trip so I can't get them mixed up in anyway. When the new parity is synced and checked then I will allow the old one back in the house.

Thanks So rather than this: cd /boot ./preclear_disk.sh -A /dev/sda It would be this?: cd /boot ./preclear_disk.sh -n /dev/sda

Okay thanks! I don't mind running a full pre-clear on it. I've been messing about with data rebuilds and parity syncs for the last 4 days now with 3 more days of pre-clearing the new parity drive before it gets swapped, 1 more day won't hurt.

I'm going to be replacing my parity disk with a 4TB in the next few days after some pre-clearing. When I remove the old parity 2TB disk and use again it shouldn't need pre-clearing because it's already proved itself for the last 3 years. When I want to expand the array with the old parity disk as a data drive do I just select it in the GUI, format and then start using the larger array? Am I missing something, after all the disk did have the parity info on it, does the re-format take care of all that?

Thanks. It worked fine. I'm always very cautious with unRAID. Theres a lot of content to mess up if I get it wrong.

I should probably add that when I moved the drive to another bay in the 3-5 case the drive stayed red.

Hello, I got home last night with my first ever 4TB drive, to do my first ever parity swap and there was a nasty red ball sitting by the last drive I fitted to the server a month ago with 22 errors on it. I can't find anything wrong cable wise. I'm running 5.0.4 I tried to put a movie on the server at the weekend and it failed due to being full. All the drives are full. The SMART report on the disk is attached. If I'm reading the SMART report correctly the drive is fine. The syslog is pastebin as it was too big to attach: http://pastebin.com/vjJcBZiS What should I do next? Thanks smart.txt

Replacing the motherboard has brought it all back to life. I will try Reiserfsck later.

I'm running 10.6 Snow Leopard. I think the mobo is on it's way out. Tried to do Reiserfsck but the USB keyboard isn't working. I tried the flash drive from another server and all the writing is purple on the screen. I can't access the web GUI anymore either. A mobo died (ASRock 880GMLE) on this server about two years ago and I had to change it. I think I got an extra spare one at the time.

I found info about rolling back. I rolled back to 5.0.4 and so far so good.

I'm currently running 5.0.5 Pro on my movie server and I'm having issues loading files via OSX. I get the following error with 5 seconds left before completion: The operation can’t be completed because an item with the name “Thunderbolt and Lightfoot 1974” already exists I can't tell if the file does complete but it does play okay. How do I work out whats happening? My other server is running 5.0.4 and doesn't seem to have the same issues. Could I rollback to 5.0.4 and try it? Is there anything special I have to do to roll back other than copy the three 5.0.4 files over?

Hmm, it works from one laptop but not the other. I guess it's not an unRAID issue. Thanks.

Yes I did that.

Thanks guys got it working fine in the end. I had to reformat the drive, make bootable and copy my pro key from a back up from nearly a year ago because it wouldn't work but now it's fine. Just one outstanding problem. On 4.7 when I "Connect to server..." on OSX I could type in smb://192.168.0.200 and it would bring up all the drives on the unraid server. Now it says I don't have permission to access the server. I can access it under Network computers but not by that path. What could it be?

I'm looking to upgrade to 5.0 from 4.7. It says "Disable or un-install all non-stock unRAID add-ons" are the addons I have installed using unMenu (like apcupsd) non-stock? If they are what is easiest way to disable them all and then get them running on the 5.0 release? Thanks
