piotrasd Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Second main issue this addresses is NFS stale file handles. If you want to use NFS with user shares, then you need to do some set up explained here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Plugin/webGui/NFS There is a better fix for this which will go into a future release. I guess that I need to wait for the 'better' fix, then! In the meantime I will revert to RC10. I ran one mkvmerge from my 'Torrent' user share to my 'Movies' user share then went to open the 'Movies' share in Nautilus - this resulted in a 'stale nfs file handle' report. I still don't understand why this problem was absent between rc4 and rc10, but returned in rc11. i have this same issue, extra config parametrs does not help to much (also with ubuntu, old or new one, and even from ubuntu side force to use nfsv3 also dont help) Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I loaded RC13, rebooted. Getting some mem errors during the first stages of boot in the syslog. Anyone else getting them? Only went from RC12 to RC13. Tower kernel: [mem 0x00000000-0x000fffff] page 4k (Errors) sys log attached. That is not an error, it is just a syslog line with the word "kernel" within it.

johnodon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Upgraded to RC13...running parity check now: Total size: 2 TB Current position: 85.09 GB (4%) Estimated speed: 95.47 MB/sec Estimated finish: 334 minutes Sync errors corrected: 0 So far so good. John Quote Link to comment

Thanks Joe L. That's good to know, but it does get highlighted in red and has the word (Errors) after it in unmenu so I was a bit worried. The syslog doesn't mention errors, so I've learned my lesson to read the syslog before panic sets in! I'll re-load RC13 and give it another go. Quote Link to comment
olympia Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just tried and I can confirm that. Reads and Writes are both increasing. Quote Link to comment
johnodon Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Just an FYI...the link at the top of the forum (Latest beta release: v5.0-rc12a) needs to be updated. John Quote Link to comment

sacretagent Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 both servers updated and both without issues aka the realtek in the p8h67 was working will test a bit more but seems ok Quote Link to comment
prostuff1 Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 2) When I stop the array from the web-gui, then every time I press the refresh button it creates a flury of activity in the syslog. Upon inspection, it appears that pressing the Refresh button causes the server to: unload all disks, unload the md driver, reload the md driver, reload all disks, r4efresh the gui. Truly amazing! That can't possibly be by design. As far as I know this is to be expected. It is to capture when a new disk is inserted into the server and so it can be added to the array without the server being shut down fully. It is a sudo hotswap functionality. 3) I decided to capture the syslog output to hard disk in order to see what happens when I press the powerdown button. And indeed, a funny thing happens: The server unloads all disks, unloads the md driver, then reloads the md driver again, reloads all disks, then unloads all disks yet again, unloads the md driver again, and then goes for powerdown. That's quite an OCD way to turn off the lights! Not sure on this one but it probably has to do with unloading everything and then reloading it again so the flash can be written to... but don't quote me on that. 4) Despite having selected all options telling unRaid to not engage in any disk spun up / spin down, there's plenty of entries in syslog saying "spinning up all disks. I really wish the server doesn't bother with any spinning up or down if I chose so in the settings. Depends on what you were doing but some case are going to have to spin up a drive no matter what. If a write is sent to the drive it HAS TO spin up. Quote Link to comment
Duppie Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi, So the memory errors that is only seen from this release can be ignored? Why are they visible / present now? Duppie Quote Link to comment
syntaxx Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I upgraded to rc13 while the wiki says that when I reboot it should say Configuration Invalid. While on my upgrade the array started automatically. Are there something wrong? Thanks Quote Link to comment
Joe L. Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Hi, So the memory errors that is only seen from this release can be ignored? Why are they visible / present now? Duppie They are NOT errors. They are just matching a pattern in unMENU that used to only match on a different message that was an error. I'll update unMENU so it does not highlight those lines. You should be able to use its Check-for-Updates feature later today to update your version of unMENU. Again, those are NOT errors. They are only lines describing how your memory is being allocated.

nars Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 I think all things Barzija pointed are not new to latest RC except the sync issue, seems really strange that it will keep writing all disks forever, and I can also reproduce it on a test system, didn't installed it on my server (on my sig) yet.

nars Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Also found that it's suffice to stop array and start it again for it to stop these strange writes. Also I did downgraded on my test system to rc12a to test and can confirm that sync issue do not happen on rc12a. Quote Link to comment

Right. My first finding is the most worrying. 2, 3, &4 are just some things that might be connected to 1, and point us in the right direction. I'm glad you can reproduce it, so now there's some chance that I am not going insane. did you actually see I also confirmed this right after your post?

nars Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 smb only on my test system, I did tested it with a clean config setup, no plugins and all defaults. Quote Link to comment
Hitcher Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Second main issue this addresses is NFS stale file handles. If you want to use NFS with user shares, then you need to do some set up explained here: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Plugin/webGui/NFS I'm confused by this as I have NFS enabled but don't have any users other than root. Do I need to do anything? Thanks. Quote Link to comment
madburg Posted June 4, 2013 Share Posted June 4, 2013 Thanks for the confirmation, as I never seen this behaviour with only SMB on (with AFP ON then Yes, we never got an answer as to why though). So definitely something new. Quote Link to comment

Thanks. user shares = You creating a share like "Movies", "TV Shows", "Data", etc... then yes read and apply whats in the notes If you are only using Disks; like Disk#1, Disk#2 directly, then is seems like no you would not have to do anything.
