September 27, 200619 yr Actually, we're going to post a beta4 soon which might help with the lock-up issue. The troublesome entry in your syslog is: Sep 27 06:09:09 BEAST kernel: hda: irq timeout: status=0x80 { Busy } Sep 27 06:09:09 BEAST kernel: Sep 27 06:09:15 BEAST kernel: ide0: reset: success Any ETA for beta 4? I just popped 4 new 400GB drives into one of my machines and my syslog is full of this busy stuff while trying to format them.
September 27, 200619 yr Obviously very interested if this eliminates the irq timeouts. It appears to. I bailed on the format of those drives in the middle, though. Can you tell me the command to manually reformat them?
September 27, 200619 yr What do you mean "bailed"? I mean I powered the machine down while the format was running. Unraid appears to think it's successfully formatted after the restart, so maybe I'm OK.
September 27, 200619 yr Author Moving to Beta4 in a few moments. I will halt the current Parity check and restart aftere upgrade. won't take me long!

September 27, 200619 yr Author Up and running on Beta4 - Parity check is proceeding at 12-14K per second. W00t!
September 27, 200619 yr Up and running on Beta4 - Parity check is proceeding at 12-14K per second. W00t! Do you mean 12,000 - 14,000 KB/sec or 12-14 KB/sec being displayed for "Estimated speed"??
September 27, 200619 yr DOH! I have butter fingers- had it in Legacy mode, in Enhanced it's a lot faster- averaging 55,000 KB/sec. Thanks Tom. -a

Do you mean 12,000 - 14,000 KB/sec or 12-14 KB/sec being displayed for "Estimated speed"?? Oh sorry, 12,000-14,000KB per sec, sorry if I gave you a heart attack I'd like to see 55KB though lol, what's making his so much faster? Is that a SATA setup? If so I might be convinced to consider some SATA in my next array!
September 28, 200619 yr Is the upgrade to beta 4 still just copy the 3 files over and reboot the array like the first beta release? -PGPfan
September 28, 200619 yr Is the upgrade to beta 4 still just copy the 3 files over and reboot the array like the first beta release? -PGPfan just the two files.... bzimage bzroot just upgraded now.... seems to be a working fine for me 55,000 KB!!! HOLY CRAP!!!
September 28, 200619 yr Hm.

Well, my problem appears to have been... (wait for it) ... a bad IDE cable. I swapped out the lovely fancy round cable with the crappy one that came with the drive, and the problems went away. So far. Running parity check now to make sure, but all appears well.

So far. Running parity check now to make sure, but all appears well. I tried to find a 'good' quality round cable and I came to the conclusion that they DO NOT exist. I had my whole array decked out with the round cables.. I ditched them and went back to the round cables. Always fun eh?? I think I was using Link Depot from NewEgg
September 28, 200619 yr Author Round cables violate the IDE specs for RF interference. I have them on I think 2 maybe 4 drives but that's it. Flat is ugly but this isn't a parade float so I don't care
September 30, 200619 yr I split off the topic here..... Please keep this thread on BLKMGK's original issue - currently working offline with him on this.
October 1, 200619 yr Author Actually, this was an issue with Beta2 - resolved in Beta4 it seems. However I encountered a different issue in Beta4. Doh! that thread is indeed elsewhere and we're working it!
October 6, 200619 yr Final update on my slow parity speed - it was a bad (NEW) hard drive right out of the box...well, actually after 39 hours in my server :'(. Now that I replaced it with another 'new' drive, all is well again. Thanks to Tom for all the offline support getting this working again! Man, how I am loving unRaid! -PGPfan
