I'm currently doing 4 simultaneous preclears on 2TB drives when I noticed the message above. Is this a problem? Is it a sign that something is wrong with my cooling?

probably.

The preclear should be done by the time I get home tonight. I'll try to post more information. I was not sure if I could do a Syslog while the preclear was running. I'll lookup on how to post the preclear results.

 

Thanks

Here's the Preclear results. Does it look ok?

looks OK.

Thanks for having a look Joe.

 

I'm trying to copy over my files from my windows laptop hard drive to my UnRaid server but it's so slow. I'm doing this over a wired connection through gigabit router, gigabit switch and Cat 5e wires yet my speed is at just under 4MB/s. I also removed the parity drive from the array. It's even slower from my external hord drive but I kind of expected that since it's only USB2.

 

The speed is listed at 1000Mb/s when look at the ethtool eth0 results and no errors are reported when I do ifconfig eth0 (although there's a 24 listed under 'Dropped' for RX packets.

 

Not sure where else to look.

turns out my laptop is only 100Mb/s... but 4Mb/s is still slow right?

About 10Mb/s is theoretical max.  (And that is if your laptop's hard disk can keep up)

I'd be more concerned with the dropped packets on the LAN.  A poor quality cable or cables routed near power connections might affect it, but more likely your LAN cannot keep up.

Thanks again Joe!

 

I have changed location for my unRaid box and the ifconfig eth0 came up clean. I'll check to see if speed has increased now. Must be the wire leading to that ethernet jack.
