July 16, 201213 yr Hello! I'm a newbie with unraid, but have been thinking for a while now to try and build me an unraid server (partly done), get a HTPC (waiting for it to arrive) and start ripping my whole media collection (movies, music, tv shows) to the server for ease of use. I've started to try out unraid a little using the free version and am using the 5.0 rc5 version on some leftover hardware. I doubt this issue I'm having is related to the 5.0 rc5 and this is why I post in General Support... don't sue me if I didn't get that right. I know that a few key parts in my current server aren't recommended, both the nforce4 based Asus K8N4-E Deluxe (http://www.asus.com/Motherboards/AMD_Socket_754/K8N4E_Deluxe/#specifications) and the controller card (HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 4P SATA II/300) that my 4 AAKS drives are connected to. If I figure out this HTPC/file server thing I'm planning to get newer and supported/tried hardware for my "production" server. Things have been going forward albeit a bit slow because of preclearing 8 disks (3 rounds each on 2 new 2TB WD EARX drives and 2 rounds each on the rest of used my drives. (4*500GB WD5000AAKS, 1*320GB ST3320620AS, 1*250GB SP2504C) The server is now up and running and I have started 2 of those drives (one EARX and one AAKS) in a data array in order to copy parts of my ripped collection to the server so I can try it out. (skipped adding the parity drive during initial setup, will add later when data actually is available) I managed to get network up and running using an old PCI-based NIC (Realtek 8139 based) but the integrated gigabit NIC (Marvell 88E81111 based) seems disabled or not loaded at all in unraid. eth0 is the only eth-interface I see in ifconfig which corresponds to my 8139 card. I *guess* it is the forcedeth module that should support the integrated NIC? Are there any quick tricks/hacks that I can try out to see whether it is possible to wake this up from the dead? Or am I destined to a whopping ~11MB/s transfer rate over network as a trial using this hardware? Hardware is the following: CPU: 1.6GHz Sempron S754 Mobo: Asus K8N4-E Deluxe RAM: 2 * Crucial Ballistix DDR2 512MB GFX: Unnamed passive nvidia card SATA Controller: HighPoint RocketRAID 2300 4P SATA II/300 Drives: 2 * 2TB WD20EARX 4 * 500GB WD5000AAKS (all connected to HP RR 2300) 1 * 320GB STST3320620AS 1 * 250GB SP2504C Case: Cooler Master Stacker plus a bunch of fans PSU: Seasonic S12 500W Attaching the syslog as well. Any help or feedback would be appreciated. Thanks! // Mattias syslog.zip
