Thank you so much

My original cache is heating up more than it should and I am taking this time to replace it before it fails. it is a 250gb SSD and has 4 udma crc errors on it and has had them forever with no apparent issues otherwise. I am replacing it with 2 x 500gb samsung evo860's that I happen to have. I do not use the cache for vm's and I am retty sure the only thing that uses it may be emby. I have been looking for the info in prior posts and have not found the answer to my query. Is there anything special I have to do? mediaserver1-syslog-20200917-2202.zip

Too bad that the planing on this case is so poor, just a few very simple changes would have made this a great case

I literally just reassigned the system to a new network and the assigned it back to the original network

Please mark this solved Thanks for all

I have a weird one. Some shares show up and are accessible on my network, but others just show up that do not exist and some are missing and even typing in the correct address. This happened when i was moving files from one drive to another and it copied some of the folders to the USER folder of shares. I corrected that quickly by moving the folders to where they were intended but it seems windows now sees them as shares and can longer access the rest of my shares even though emby on the same system sees them without issue. I attaching a log and two pics, I hope that will help. This is on Version: 6.6.6, and yes I know I should up grade.

Awesome, thanks loads, I don't use either Thanks again, Ice

I never notice these before Do these items have to be enabled? HVM: Disabled IOMMU: Disabled Thank you for all, Ice

yeah, there was a power outage while it was still on the bench and not hooked up to the ups my bad luck

So I am good then...lol, sweating the small stuff after all that's gone on with this server Thanks loads, Ice

I just got my server back and fir parity check threw 5 sync errors. When I check the gui I saw the cache was marked as not protected and upon looking at the logs I see a lot of warnings. What should I d o to resolve these issues? mediaserver1-syslog-20190812-1234.zip

Yeah, i always use the qvl and all three sets were on it...Bought a new older board and a cpu for it just in case Right now it's still limping along on 8gb. Thanks for all Ice

I thought I would put my money and skills where my mouth is. I did the mods I mentioned above...I took the original fans off, removed the screw boss/shoulder, drilled hole to match Noctua Fan fastener, Attached foam (Creatology Adhesive Foam Sheet) and installed the 4 NF-A8 fans with the accompanying hardware. Installed a Silverstone pwm fan hub (model: SST-CPF04) to run them all. Pics below (I have a complete series of pics for this, if anyone wants to see them I will post here), doing amazing at keeping the drives in the sweet spot (32-35C). Thank you so much for the ideas and work you did on the original mod. Ice

Up and running, all seems well with my unraid install and array However, I seem to have lost a ram slot on my mobo, or lets put it this way, it won't boot (endless fast beeps) with anything but one stick of memory in the board. I am thinking it may just be the board as it was a used replacement and since I have tried three different sets of memory, it also will not let me load a stick into any other slots. Any ideas? btw, the lsi cards are amazing

Has anyone ever tried to modify them a bit further? What I mean is to remove the backplane from the cage, disassemble the backplane and then you have the bare plate. Then drill out the screw mounts and then use the original stretch rubber fan mounts. you can then use very thin foam or rubber to adhesive in between the fan and the mounting plate. Any thoughts on this?

okay it seems it was the board again, so I ordered a new one. When it comes in I am going to go right to the new LSI cards. I had everything label completely and all serials (and HDD info) recorded. I also have tags on everything, so I am hoping all is good when i power back up to confirm array. Your list answers: 1. I have one already as well as a spreadsheet showing where and what drive 2. Always have a backup and will make a copy anyway before I boot 3. N/A in this situation 4. Will do I am taking the opportunity to transfer everything to a 'like new' Lian Li P80N case that will easily house all 4 drive cages and allow for direct mount of the 3 excess drives that are here, I am just waiting for the few upgrades to the case that I ordered. Thanks for all the help, Frank1940

drives dropping mainly

I ran into problems with crosstalk when I had my cables set that way.it was few years ago, stopped doing it

Another question (always seems to be one). I am getting ready to replace the card and rebuild the system (I have the record of where all the drives go (also they are labeled properly to go into the cages in the same place) The question: Should I get a second card since I am already running 23 drives and get rid of the marvel controllers completely and do these LSI cards run well together? Thanks, Ice

Outstanding, thanks. My server has been down due to what i think is a faulty case switch, but I will return it to it's old glory then attempt the new card changeout. thanks again, Ice

I just ordered a LSI 9201-16i LSI00244 and I am just asking if there is anything specific that I have to do when transferring my drives over to this controller from my marvel controllers?

already doing that, but im looking are this case to make it all neat again

I have 4-5x3 iStar cages, but only space for three in my case, so i was thinking of grabbing a new case for them all to fit in However I am already at 18 drives plus cache and parity. since the cache is not mounted in them I have one slot and that is reserved for a second parity and then im all filled up. For the price I may look into a 24 bay rack mount setup for a couple hundred extra...and then just think of playing around with my second license. Thanks loads, Ice

Has anyone tried this case LIAN LI PC-A79B and what do you think about it?

Yes it is on my cache drive and yes it's an ssd
