I was hoping that LT would jump in here and help us figure out what these errors are, but no luck so far.

I submitted a support ticket to Broadcom and after one week - no response. Not too impressed there. Again - anyone out there running this controller with a SSD drive attached and using this TRIM plugin with success? What is the down side of not running TRIM? I can leave the SSD drive connected to my 9305, but no TRIM. It has crashed my sever twice, so I have disabled this plugin.

The specs say that the SAS3224 does support SSD, but no mention of TRIM compatibility. I have opened a support ticket with Broadcom specifically asking if this controller supports SSD's and TRIM. I'll report back once I get the official answer. I would like to hear from anyone who has this card and has SSD's connected to it, and of course has the TRIM plugin working.

Can anyone confirm if the LSI 9305-24i HBA works with the SSD TRIM plugin? I have a Samsung 860 EVO 1tb as my cache and I'm having issues trying to run the TRIM command. I read some where that older LSI cards did not like the TRIM command. The fix back then was to use the motherboard sata ports, but I hope I don't have to do that.

@ Limetech - any help here with these errors? How can I resolve these so I have no errors?

I found a couple more errors in the syslog.

Server is running great and no issues with performance, or anything else. However I did notice a few log entries that I don't recall seeing the past. They may have nothing to do with 6.5.3. Server has been up for about 2 days and 9 hours, and I see 3 entries in my syslog: Jun 29 03:41:13 Tower nginx: 2018/06/29 03:41:13 [error] 10391#10391: *296946 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "POST /webGui/include/DeviceList.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "localhost", referrer: "http://localhost/Main" Jun 29 03:41:13 Tower php-fpm[10365]: [WARNING] [pool www] child 21260 exited on signal 7 (SIGBUS) after 264.591907 seconds from start Jun 29 20:40:49 Tower nginx: 2018/06/29 20:40:49 [error] 10391#10391: *457950 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "POST /webGui/include/DeviceList.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "localhost", referrer: "http://localhost/Main" Jun 29 20:40:49 Tower php-fpm[10365]: [WARNING] [pool www] child 9358 exited on signal 7 (SIGBUS) after 337.768022 seconds from start Jun 30 16:16:14 Tower nginx: 2018/06/30 16:16:14 [error] 10391#10391: *618350 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 127.0.0.1, server: , request: "POST /webGui/include/DeviceList.php HTTP/1.1", upstream: "fastcgi://unix:/var/run/php5-fpm.sock:", host: "localhost", referrer: "http://localhost/Main" Jun 30 16:16:14 Tower php-fpm[10365]: [WARNING] [pool www] child 17068 exited on signal 7 (SIGBUS) after 289.569545 seconds from start I also see the following warnings in my log: Jun 28 07:46:17 Tower kernel: ACPI: Early table checksum verification disabled Jun 28 07:46:17 Tower kernel: spurious 8259A interrupt: IRQ7.

wow, been a while since I've read this thread, and I'm still on 6.3.5. After reading the past few pages, I have removed the Preclear plugin and then upgrade to 6.4.1. Seems I can just use the Seagate disk tool to confirm the drives are good, and then just add them to my array. I don't see a need to even bother with the script at this point. I think things got more simple.

Ah...just found Chrome open on my pc open, but minimized so I didn't see it. Thank you! I just assumed it was a preclear thing, due to the error message containing the word preclear. Thank you! Guess I will go reinstall the plugin

noticed this in my log today, Jun 30 15:08:42 Tower root: error: plugins/preclear.disk/Preclear.php: wrong csrf_token It just keeps repeating in the log. It said there was an update, did that, but still the errors in the log keep coming. I had to uninstall the plugin. Looks like something is wrong..... No changes on my end re drives.

I see there is an update ready, but when I tell it to update, I get this error, plugin: updating: ipmi.plgplugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/archive/tablesorter-2.27.6-x86_64-1.txz ... failed (Invalid URL / Server error response)plugin: wget: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/archive/tablesorter-2.27.6-x86_64-1.txz download failure (Invalid URL / Server error response)

That did it, no issues with install. Very nice plugin! This is my first mb with IPMI and I love it! I didn't realize I would be able to use your plugin to configure and control the fans. Again, very nice! Thank you!

Not there yet.... it finds it now, but has a server error plugin: installing: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/plugin/ipmi.plgplugin: downloading https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/plugin/ipmi.plgplugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/plugin/ipmi.plg ... doneplugin: downloading: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/archive/tablesorter-2.27.6-x86_64-1.txz ... failed (Invalid URL / Server error response)plugin: wget: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/dmacias72/IPMI-unRAID/master/archive/tablesorter-2.27.6-x86_64-1.txz download failure (Invalid URL / Server error response)

hey guys - I have purchased a new 8tb drive to ultimately become my second parity drive. I read that it is best to add the second parity drive after the file conversion. That means I have a new spare drive that I could use to help with the conversion. I will need this drive freed up at the end, again to be my second parity drive. I have 8 6tb drives to convert and my current parity is 8tb. I'm using about half of the 48tb, so I have lots of free space to move stuff around and I don't care where my data ends up. I only have one specific disk share for TimeMachine, and I can just delete and recreate that later. I was going back and forth about which process to use, considering the new extra drive and how much time this will take. I think I saw the answer somewhere, but wasn't able to find it - so here goes - can't I just Exclude the first disk to convert from all shares and use the Mover to empty the drive I want to convert? I'm not sure if Mover will move the data off or if I have to do that manually, but that prevent future writes - which I can then reformat, and then Include again at the end. Why does that sound too easy, I must be missing something? Otherwise, I think I will follow the Mirror each disk with rsync, preserving parity procedure, except I would rather use MC than command lines with rsync. Any reason I shouldn't use MC for this?

cool, thanks for posting!

Glad it all worked out. I'm ready to convert mine, but I'm not sure which procedure to follow. I am leaning towards the unbalance approach, like you did. Now that you are done, can you share the steps you used? Rob said he is planning to write this, but hasn't yet and perhaps he can leverage what you write.

Please answer this question

+1 I just finished clearing two 8tb drives with the previous version, 2017.03.23 I think. Now I see 2017.03.31. I didn't have any errors and I submitted stats for both.

LOL, no pressure at all. I'm still going to try it, but would feel better if I had the step by step from you. My shares are on all data drives, with only one exception - timemachine backups go to a specific disk. I have 8 6tb drives to convert and I'm more about what is easier, even if it takes longer to get the job done. Thanks!

Hi Rob, when do you think you will be able to add a general unBALANCE-based method? I looking to start my conversion next weekend - 8 data drives.

wow, just checking in on this topic and I'm surprised by how many issues you all reported. I noticed a new update today, 2017.03.23 so I installed that. I'm starting a new preclear job on a brand new Seagate Enterprise Capacity 8tb model ST8000NM0055 I'm using gfjardim script so far good, Preclear in progress... Pre-Read: 7% @ 189 MB/s (0:52:51) I'll report back when complete.

Thanks Rob! I was planning to use this process to convert my server and it would be killer to have instructions from you. It's hard to keep track of everything in this thread.

+1 I'm ready to convert my fs too and after reading this thread, I have a headache. I'm looking for the safest process with easy step by step instructions. I did read the instructions on wiki, and they are good, but conflict with other advice in this thread. That is th e only reason I have not started. I would be happy to see the experts agree on best process to follow (how they would convert their fs) and put on post #1 You mentioned a wiki page, are you referring to this one -> File System Conversion If so, I wrote most of it but others have had a hand in improving it, and I'm perfectly willing to revise it further ... I welcome any suggestions. Can I ask what were the conflicts you saw? Yes, that is it. Conflicts may not be the right word, as I see slightly different steps, suggestions in this thread that very a little from the wiki page. So I wonder if the instructions are slightly out of date in terms of best practice. Given I'm ready to get started, I wanted the safest and fastest (easiest) steps get my fs converted. If you needed to convert your fs today, would you follow the wiki exactly, or is there a few suggestions in this thread that you may use? Means, after reading through this, would you update your wiki page, or follow it as is - again if you needed to do this today? If it is good enough for you Rob, it's good enough for me
