is there any way to run a memory test while unRaid is "running "?

Hello

 

I was curious if there was a way to run a memory test while unRaid is loaded (or running)?

 

it looks like only one memory stick is bad (OCZ ... so ... )

Someone said that would be caused by plugins in another thread ...

 

I rebooted and ran memtest and I'm getting errors around 4150MB to 4260MB

 

I've tried ram speeds from ddr3-1333 down to ddr3-800 and the slower I run the memory the fewer the errors ... but I don't know how to slow it down more.  Not sure how to figure out all the kludged memory settings.

 

I was curious if I could use the mem=2047 parameter in the syslinux.cfg file to keep to the better stick (or better area of memory) without having to remove the bad stick.

 

If I did this I would like to be able to test memory to make sure I'd be using the good memory.

 

I have to disconnect all my HTPC connections to get into my unRaid currently ...  I'd only like to have to do that once when I get the new memory and I still have to wait a few days for replacement memory ...

 

Thanks for any time and help,

 

Bobby

You need to replace the defective module.

 

Remove all but one memory module; boot to Memtest;  and then test the module individually until you isolate the defective one -- then replace it.

 

You could try to increase the voltage to your ram modules. That sometimes helps, though most of times replacing the defective module is the only solution.

I got the new memory and replaced it ... all of it

 

I had way too much trouble with the OCZ memory (bought one batch for my HTPC and returned to store bad ... bought another batch for my unRaid and returned to store bad ... tried to RMA the second batch that I returned a year ago when the first module of the three died now another of that batch is gone ... and I'm still waiting)

 

the old memory was rated 1.65V and I had up to 1.75V at 800 Mhz and still erroring out above 4,100MB

 

I was just hoping there was a lazy way as I have server cases stacked up without a rack and unRaid is on the bottom

 

If I could have checked the first dimm and limited to that ... or first few GB ...

 

Would the mem=2047 parameter work the same for memtest as it would for unRaid?

(grab the same chunk of memory?)

 

I've got to get these in a rack ... just looking for some inexpensive 20"+ shelves with a 45 pound capacity that would fit in a 30" deep 4 post rack ... fixed would be good on rails would be spectacular ...

 

Thanks for everyone's time,

Bobby

Get a rack !!

 

As Prostuff noted, check Craigslist -- there are often listings for racks from out-of-business companies, or companies that are upgrading to larger racks.  But in any event, it's worth springing for a proper rack for your gear.
