musicstar.ca Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 Hi Guys, I tried to run BubbaRAID today but when things came up my array was no invalid and gave me an Invalid configuration. I imediately reverted back to regular UnRaid and all came back fine. Any ideas why this may have happened? Thanks, Pedro Link to comment
RobJ Posted November 17, 2008 Share Posted November 17, 2008 The most likely reason is you may have tried to run it on a version of unRAID other than v4.3.3. Please read the BubbaRAID entry and the links there, for stories similar to yours. Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 BubbaRaid can only be installed over the top of unRAID 4.3. Link to comment
musicstar.ca Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 I am running version: 4.3.3 Is that one not the correct one? Thanks. Link to comment
johnieutah Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I have the same problem. I have read that user shares may be an issue, so I disabled those and still no luck. I'm running 4.3.3, am pretty sure its not a beta (it would say beta somewhere on the tower screen right?) Cheers, Matt. Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 Yes, 4.3.3 is the correct one. In some cases, drivers can load in a different order between BubbaRaid and unRAID, so drives are in a different order/number, which can cause this problem. When your config is invalid, see if all your drives are there, but just in the wrong slots. Link to comment
musicstar.ca Posted November 18, 2008 Author Share Posted November 18, 2008 Thanks BubbaQ, I just tried again per your suggestion. I only have two drives right now. Disk1 and parity. I made a screenshot of my unRAID config to compare. With bubbaraid they came up in the same order. It must be something else. I won't worry about it too much for now as I am going to be upgrading to a new mobo within the week. I am using an old ASUS asus a7n8x deluxe with a user customized bios that has a fix for the SATA firmware. Once my new setup is up and running I'll try again and post the results. Thanks for your help. Pedro Link to comment
myndphunkie Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 I had the same issue with 2 drives. Both drives are IDE, 1 is cache and 1 is part of the RAID. All I had to do was re-assign them in the correct place and they've been working ever since (even with multiple reboots) Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted November 18, 2008 Share Posted November 18, 2008 @myndphunkie... that's what I suspected. Have you tried booting both regular unRAID and BubbaRaid using the boot menu? Is the drive configuration OK in both? Link to comment
Koperfild Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 I also suffer the problem under regular unRaid 4.3.3. And nothing seems to help. Link to comment
bubbaQ Posted November 19, 2008 Share Posted November 19, 2008 It appears that on some mobos, the drivers can end up loading is a different order because of the kernel config differences between BubbaRaid and unRAID. When that happens, on the systems I have tried it on, all of the your drives are still there, but not assigned to the right slots, or need to be reassigned in order to get a valid configuration. Once doing so, BubbaRaid has been runing normally. The negative is that if you want to go back to standard unRAID, you will likely have to reassign the drives again, after booting unRAID. So you lose the seamless booting choice between unRAID and BubbaRaid. There isn't anything I can do about this, as it is a side-effect of the kernel changes between BubbaRaid and unRAID.

assassinmunky Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Hey guys, I having the same problem. In bubbaraid it says configuration invalid and the listed drives are different from the ones selected. On the main screen, the italicized letters are the "request drives" and the non italicized letters are the "selected drives" take a look at the two screen shots below and tell me what I can do.

bubbaQ Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 Let me guess... your unRAID 4.3.3 is not a fresh install, but was upgraded from a previous version? See this thread: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2191.0 This is one situation that the "Restore" button is for. Then you'll probably have a parity check. Link to comment
assassinmunky Posted November 20, 2008 Share Posted November 20, 2008 look like "restore" button worked... doing parity check now Thanks Link to comment
