Martijn76 Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 hi folks, have been using unraid (v4.7) for quite some time now, and without problems... untill this afternoon I'm running a Microserver with 4 drives (1 parity, 3 data) and transferspeeds got very low and now no copying is possible from the drives/shares. unfortunatly a parity check was cancelled by mistake at around 50% (no errors untill then), it's running again now but no red balls or anything. I did notice that I was running low on space on 1 drive (99%, 7gb/2tb), since i don't want to lose data and i'm unable to copy I'm a bit stuck. hope you can help me solving this problem, I included the syslog for more info syslog-2013-01-20.txt Quote Link to comment
Helmonder Posted January 20, 2013 Share Posted January 20, 2013 stratum 2 ja ? eindhoven de gekstuh :-) Can you get SMART report on the drives? Something might be going on there.. Also transfer speeds get a lot slower when drives are allmost full, so that could also be the case.. Is copying OFF the full drive towards a drive that has plenty of room also slow ?

Martijn76 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 this morning the parity check was complete, no errors, only green balls but still extreme slow access via windows and media players resulting in errors. for your info i've included a log before restart and after the restart (1) syslog-2013-01-21.txt syslog-2013-01-21_1.txt Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Hi All, hi, iets noordelijker in Zaanstad, maar dichtbij genoeg om nl als moedertaal te hebben I'll try and make some SMART reports, it was still running a parity check during my previous posts. Unfortunately it's not possible to copy anything from the array at the moment, Win8 says there is a connection error and the file is no longer available (both copy/paste and cut/paste), however explorer still works and i am able to delete the files.

Martijn76 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 Anyone S.M.A.R.T enough to tell me if (one of) the drives are still okay? I'll try to move the microserver (as the name suggests, it's not that big) physically to another floor of my house and on to another hub to see if that makes a difference, I'm actually pretty out of options at the moment Update: the server has been moved and I freed some additional disk space, files are moving now with a speed between 0 and 350kB/s, one large file has been moved so far... Both the pc as the server are on 1Gb-connections 2nd update: at first sight media played via the Dune player (although the interface was painfully slow) however after a few seconds the video started stuttering and I had to stop again. So, no solution yet, but a tiny bit better than yesterday... Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 21, 2013 Author Share Posted January 21, 2013 I have shut down the system again and removed and re-inserted all cold-swap drives again, also unplugged and plugged everything in again just to be sure... Still no solution though I did see the following line in the log: Jan 21 21:22:22 Tower kernel: ACPI Warning for \_SB_._OSC: Return type mismatch - found Integer, expected Buffer (20090903/nspredef-1006) (Minor Issues) Could that be something causing the problems? The oldest Hitachi drives have a sticker on them with FEB 2011, so if the warranty is 2 years I might be able to send them out to Hitachi for RMA swap Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 The drive reports look fine. Do you have a spare drive to use as a cache drive for testing? Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 I have an extra drive I could use, however I lack the physical space to add it to the server... There's room for 4 cold swap drives and a ODD, all occupied I could get a esata dock or something, would that be possible to use as a cache drive? Quote Link to comment

Would this (cheap) one suffice, it's for testing only now... http://www.sweex.com/nl/assortiment/connectivity/converters-data-linking/ST050/ Another thing: I was actually thinking of upgrading to the latest unRAID RC-version, but will wait until this all works okay again (hopefully soon ) It should make no improvement since everything used to run fine untill a few days ago. Could the install on the USB-stick be 'damaged' or something causing the problems? Would a replacement with the original 4.7 files help? Any files I should replace to keep my settings? I'm afraid to lose data so I'm just checking p.s. also changed the icon and hopefull will change it again to 'solved' Update: Added the age of the disks (Hitachi: 20 months/warranty: 36, Seagate: 16 months/warranty: 36; Microserver: 9 months/warranty: 12) Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Can I use Hitahi's Drive Fitness Test (WinDFT) and Seagate's SeaTools for drive checking without problems or do they actually 'change' the drives (settings, parameters, data, etc.) themselves ? What I would like to do is check every disk on another system with the tools mentioned above, if there's nothing wrong with them I'd like to put them back into the Microserver and analyse further, without dataloss ofcourse Quote Link to comment

Great, that's something to check as soon as I get the e-sata dock, it's also required in case I have to RMA the disk. Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 22, 2013 Author Share Posted January 22, 2013 Does anyone have any experience with RMA of these drives? Is it a problem that they are used in a NAS environment? Strange enough I hope the problem is in the Microserver instead of the drives, is probably an easier device to swap (or repair) under warranty. Anyone any ideas if it could be a corrupted USB unRAID stick (or corrupted files)? Is there something that I can try without the risk of losing data? Quote Link to comment
dgaschk Posted January 22, 2013 Share Posted January 22, 2013 There is no indication of drive failure. unMenu is putting some strange messages in the log. See my sig to dis-able all add-ons. Quote Link to comment

I tried this (I didn't have the folders in step 1 and 2, so just used the stock go-file) but unfortunately it didn't give any better results, included the syslogs again... the one after restart is made the Telnet-way (since I don't have unMenu anymore), so isn't formatted very friendly Anything else I can try? syslog-2013-01-23_before_restart.txt syslog-2013-01-23_after_restart.txt Quote Link to comment
Helmonder Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Tough one... So: - drives give no smart errors - all plugins disabled - transfer is extremely slow Can you elaborate (once more) on how slow you call slow ? Please also test transfering files from console (so not from windows, but copying from within the unraid system, that takes the network out of the equation. Quote Link to comment

So: - drives give no smart errors - all plugins disabled - transfer is extremely slow Can you elaborate (once more) on how slow you call slow ? Please also test transfering files from console (so not from windows, but copying from within the unraid system, that takes the network out of the equation. Transferrates are between 0 and 350 kBps, dune media players are not able to play hd content... How can I copy from the console? Is this via telnet? Can you give me an example, I'm a bit of Linux-noob Quote Link to comment
Helmonder Posted January 23, 2013 Share Posted January 23, 2013 Can you telnet to your unraid system ? Logon to it type cd /mnt Then type MC That should look familiar unless you are really young :-) Now in the one window go to disk 1, in the other to disk 2 and copy something big from one to the other (obviously which disks you use is not important, try a few combinations and see if transfers are slow there to) Quote Link to comment

Sorry, missed two spaces DISK 1 > DISK 2: 20 - 30MB/s DISK 2 > DISK 1: 20 - 30MB/s DISK 1 > DISK 3: 15 - 20MB/s (bit slower, but still okay) DISK 3 > DISK 1: 20 - 30MB/s DISK 2 > DISK 3: 15 - 20MB/s (bit slower, but still okay) DISK 3 > DISK 2: 20 - 40MB/s (bit faster, speed was dropping during the transfer to around 25MB/s and picked up again to around 30MB/s, which is okay) Conclusion is that transfers from DISK 2 are a bit slower, but nowhere near 300kB/s. Since the transferspeed problem via Windows PC is also downward, I assume the parity drive is not the problem as well.... uh oh, I think I have to look into the MicroServer's NIC or UTP-cable (no errors, collisions or anything yesterday, Gigabit-connection) or... it could be the switch/hub (that would be shamefull) Quote Link to comment
Martijn76 Posted January 23, 2013 Author Share Posted January 23, 2013 ehm just replaced one of the netgear switches (GS608) and transferspeeds are down: 35-60MB/s up: 20-25MB/s I feel a bit embarrassed, on the other hand, wouldn't have found it without your help... Thank you so much for your help and patience, it has been a very educational experience! Quote Link to comment
