5.0rc5 + 3TB Seagate + pre-clear.sh just sits there

It just sit's there.... I know the script works because I was able to preclear a 1.5TB drive earlier this week.  Earlier today I let it run for about 4 hours, and nothing.....

Are you absolutely sure you want to clear this drive?

Ended up formatting the drive, and all of the sudden now it is running.  It's running at 1.1MB/s, but I also have a parity check going with the 4 drives in the array and the parity drive.

 

I'll keep it running and see what it does.

 

thanks!

 

 

Set the SATA to AHCI in BIOS. See BIOS settings in my sig.

I had a somewhat similar situation with a WD 3TB green drive.  It would run at 100MB/s on the pre-read until about half the drive was read and then lockup on two different boxes.  So I RMA'd the drive to the Retailer for replacement.  The replacement did the same thing but at a different % complete even when using the -b, -r and -w commands to limit the memory usage.  So I removed it and did one last test before RMA'ing again - I did a long Windows format.  When that completed I took a shot and tried a 3 cycle pre-clear.  It ran to completion with a time of 94:40:05 with no sector problems so only 10 hours more than the 3TB Red I did a couple of weeks earlier.  Not sure why there was a problem I've never had the problem before or since on the same pre-clear station.  So long store short.  If I do get the problem again I'm going to do a write only first to the whole disk then start a regular pre-clear cycle series.

Well, figured out a lot in the last 36 hours.  Pulled the drive, took my bedroom HTPC, booted off of a unraid install, and precleared the drive there with no issues.  It turns out the SATA Controller I purchased, SYBAUSA - SY-PEX40013, has 2 SATA II ports, and 2 SATA I ports.  I didn't read the fine print and the Parity drive and cache drive were connected to the SATA I Ports.  So now, I've only got the parity drive connected to SATA II, disconnected the cache drive, and am using neither of the SATA I ports.  I'm still seing some issues, it looks like the drive is being dropped and then coming back up.  I've swapped out power supplies so I'm pretty sure it's not that.  Perhaps it's just the card that's bad?  Can someone verify the things I'm seing toward the end of this syslog are not right?

 

My next step may just be going out and either purchasing a motherboard with 6 x SATA II ports, or buying the SuperMicro 8 x SATA II via 2 SAS Connections.  Granted it's $160 after card and cables.... but I'm assuming I'll be better off and will have room for growth.  Current board has 4 x SATA II.

So I switched motherboards to one with six sata ports onboard and things are MUCH better.  No crashes since, parity checks happen between 100-126MB/s.

 

Thanks!
