November 23, 201114 yr I had some issues with a disk filling up (my own fault) when I didn't have my split level setup properly. As one disk was pretty much full, I started moving some data off this onto another drive and for some reason whenever I copy more than a few GB's of data at once my server seems to stop responding entirely. At times it will crash completely and need to be force-restarted, other times it has come back online itself. Other than this I haven't had any problems whatsoever. I haven't capped a syslog of this yet but will give it another crack tonight see what happens.. Has anyone else had this issue? Should I be doing the move via telnet rather than the disk shares? Is there likely to be any performance/stability gain? FYI: Currently running v4.7 Stable, system specs in sig.
November 23, 201114 yr Need a syslog to help much at all To captcher something as the server crashes run: tail -f /var/log/syslog in a telnet windows while you are doing the copy Also, run a memtest on the system for at least over night... preferably for 24 hours.
November 25, 201114 yr Author I didn't even think of doing a memtest.. *facepalm* Just copied 6GB of data @ ~10MB/Sec between disk1 & disk5.. no crash yet :-/ will keep tailing.. damn thing's never crash when you WANT them to :-) What's likely to be the speed bottleneck here? I'd guess the speed of the parity drive's writes?
