Can`t use new 3tb drive as parity, getting errors.


Recommended Posts

Hi

I need more storage and i bought a new 3tb Seagate drive (ST3000DM001) to replace the 2tb wd i were using as parity but i cant get it to work as a paritydrive.

I removed the 2tb WD green that was paritydrive and run preclear on the new one and then added it as parity and started paritysync. It all locked fine up to 75% then i went to bed and then when in the morning it showed a redball and said 2 errors.

I ran preclear again, made a logfile just in case then added the drive and started paritysync. It looked good up to 70-80% but later its the same again. 2 errors and redball =(

Any idea?

Attaching the log from the second preclear and a screenshot.

Motherboard: Gigabyte - GA-MA78GM-S2H

Processor: AMD AthlonTM Dual Core 4850e.K - 2.5 GHz

Cache: L1 = 128 KB  L2 = 128 KB  L3 = 512 KB  L4 = 0 KB 

Memory: 4 GB - DIMM0 = 800 MHz (1.2 ns)  DIMM1 = 800 MHz (1.2 ns)  DIMM2 = 800 MHz (1.2 ns)  DIMM3 = 800 MHz (1.2 ns) 

Network: 1000Mb/s - Full Duplex

Running bios F4 and vill update the bios as a first step.

 

The new drive is connected to the motherboard on SATA0. When i first got the drive i connected it to the cheap 4p card i got from dx.com and run the first preclear and it went fine but the preclear speed was 80mb/s on that card and like 140mb/s on the motherboard (ofcorse thats megabyte not megabit =).

This is the sata card http://dx.com/p/silicon-image-4-port-sata-pci-expansion-card-4660 and i got one more with 2 sata and 1 PATA that came with a drive a couple of years ago) No problems until now with the new drive but i will update the bios and get back after the parity sync.

Grrr, this time i got 99 errors =( Everything take so much time =/

Its time to remove the drive and reinstall the 2tb and think about what to do.

Ill try to connect the drive to a usbdock connected to my laptop and see if i can run some error checking software from Seagate.

 

EDIT: Just realized that i got 2 movies (50gb) on my cachedrive that cant be moved to the diskpool because thats not enought free space. Can that cause the errors?

Well im removing them and trying to make a paritysync again.

 

EDIT2: I ran SMART extended test and it completed without errors.

Before i disable addons i want to post this last part of the log.

Should i still disable addons and try again i will do that.

Also i attach the smart.txt from the extended text.

EDIT: Found this http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=25075.0

and will try without addons. if everything is ok without addons can a re-enable them after paritysync?

Can it be the seagate that it the problem or any 3tb?
