Network is killed in RC5 if transferring huge files on MD-1510/LL

[michael123]

Hi

 

I initially installed RC5 and noticed that after around 20min when I transfer ts files from the blu-ray, the network is killed: all transfers are abandoned, and I cannot access the unRaid server anymore anyhow.

 

After this has happened 3 times in a row - I rebooted unRaid every time - I upgraded to the recent beta - rc6-test2

 

..and finally I succeeded to transfer the blu-ray rip.

 

 

 

I am using Tom's MD-1510/LL:

 

Supermicro - C2SEA

Intel® CoreTM2 Duo CPU E7400 @ 2.8GHz

4GB RAM

 

 

 

Is it a known bug?

I am not so sure I will succeed next time..

 

Another some sad experience: I usually upgrade unRaid copying the files over the network to the flash share.

When upgrading from RC5 it was the first time the transfer was interrupted in the middle..

And this was the first time I killed the OS, I opened - never before - the MD-1510 box and for half an hour searched for the small Sony memory stick

Eventually, I found and upgraded it to RC6-test2..

 

Strange.. given that this is soon-to-be released version, and even more strange since it is Tom's own hardware

 

Is there any stress test going as part of the acceptance tests??

I've not seen any issues with the rc6-test1 or rc6-test2 versions.

 

I've transferred several large movies and many smaller images files with no issues between two unRAID servers.  (The newer unRAID server running the newest -test version of rc6 and using the same MB as you, the older server running 4.7)

I haven't seen either in RC6/test2, this happened all the time with RC5.

But reading release notes of test2 I thought that it is about resolving stability issues with some esoteric hardware..

 

Joe,

do you transfer few long-running parallel streams (e.g. bli-ray rips) periodically?

 

With 4.7 btw the server also got frozen sometimes, but it was 'defrosted' after around a minute or so..

..with RC5 the network was just killed forever.

For me too.  test1/2 included a different driver for the networking chipset.  was not just for the disk issues.

Not blue-ray, but even bigger files from window's backups from other PCs in the house.  Also would terminat wigh long running rsync between my two servers to keep them in sync.

Yes, issues prior to rc5 (although can't really remember when they started as it was good for a very long time on older releases.  I think it was probably when Tom attempted to use newer driver for NAS chipset.)

great,

if you're on top of this issue, I feel relief
