Currently I am on 5.0b14

 

Access to my server through the web interface is extremely slow.  I was able to pull up my log and noticed the same items repeating over and over again.  Doeas anyone have thoughts on the following?

These are informative messages. See here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=The_Analysis_of_Drive_Issues

 

Does your power supply have enough amperage on the 12V rail? See here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=12219.0

To add (not hijack) I was getting the same type of errors. It actually causes my movies/tv shows to skip when they are first starting up (spinning up the drive). Also my brower access seems slower (might just be crazy me)

 

It was suggested that I replace the Sata cable. I replaced the sata cable and RMA'ed the drive and PSU, and now I'm getting the same errors again. Any further insight would be super duper awesome.

So I have done a few things but am still having the same issues.  I ended up swapping out one of the drives.  I wasn't sure if it was acting up.  It was taking a long time to mount.  No change on system response though.  I did swap out my power supply because I wasn't sure if that was an issue.  I am using the following from my gaming machine.

 

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817139015

 

CORSAIR Professional Series Gold AX850 (CMPSU-850AX) 850W ATX12V v2.31 / EPS12V v2.92 80 PLUS GOLD Certified Modular Active PFC Power Supply

 

This has to be good enough right?  I have 9 drives on a i5 2500 system.  Built in graphics.

 

 

Is it possible that my main board is bad?  Any ideas how I would check that?

 

 

 

 

To further elaborate on the symptoms...  If I reset the system everything is great.  The following morning, maybe 6 hours or so, I am back to a system that is almost unusable.

 

 

I appreciate any help that is provided.

 

Attach a syslog.

This syslog was taken this morning.

syslog_1-24.txt

That syslog is incomplete.  Can you attach a complete syslog?  Zip it if it is too large, or use pastebin.

 

Again, the errors contained are pointing to a bad power connection.  Check/reseat all cables (power and SATA).  If the problem persists, then you could have a bad power supply or possibly just a bad hard drive (with a defective power port).

 

You are correct that your power supply has more than enough juice to power your drives, but there's still a possibility that it is defective.

Thanks Rajahal.

 

I have attached my full syslog.

 

The strange thing is this is a second power supply and I am getting the same errors.  Both of these PS's work great in other machines. If it is a bad drive how can I figure out which one it is?

syslog_1-26.zip

What are the system specs?

I swapped the motherboard for another I had laying around and all is good.  I have been running great for (2) days now.  Issue solved even though I don't know what the exact problem was.
