April 27, 201412 yr Hi All, I am having issues adding a new 3tb wd green drive. In the past few weeks after upgrading to v6, i've been replacing my 2tbs with 4tbs (data rebuild) and so far, all worked fineThis is the first time i have tried adding a new drive after upgrading to version 6 I tried preclearing the drive 4 times with the latest preclear script, also tried clearing it from the main webpage (making the server unavailable) and i get the same error. I also tried switching the drive from the connection via sata controller port (SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8) to connecting directly to the motherboard but i'm getting the same error The error occurs around 6% of the 2nd step during preclear, See screenshots below. Once this happens i can't access the server so i have to shutdown and re-start. I hope someone can advise what the problem is Thanks, T System information: Kernel: Linux 3.10.24p-unRAID x86_64 Version: 6.0-beta4 Motherboard: ASUSTeK Computer INC. - M5A78L-M LX V2 CPU: AMD Sempron 145 Power Supply: Corsair TX950W Sata controller: SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 Sata controller: Syba SATA III 4 Port PCI-e x1.

April 27, 201412 yr See SYSTEM LOG in my sig for instructions on saving a syslog while the server is running. Use the telnet-tail method. Disk 5 has a loose or bad SATA cable.
April 27, 201412 yr Author Thanks. I've just swapped the drive to another sata slot and i'll start another preclear session. I'll also run tail -f /var/log/syslog once preclear starts
April 28, 201412 yr Author Same error after 9%. This time the preclear stopped at 3% of Step 2 of 10 - Copying zeros to remainder of disk to clear it and when i take a look at the info from server, i can see the same error message "Kernel Panic - not syncing:Fatal exception in interrupt"on the server. Had shutdown again and restart tail syslog running but not sure it captured anything interesting tail_syslog.zip
April 30, 201412 yr Author UPDATE Just in case anyone is interested, i decided to go back to unRAIDServer-5.0.5-i386 and preclear script worked. The 3TB drive was precleared without any issues.
May 1, 201412 yr Author Hey dgaschk, Yes i was using the latest script from here: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.0 Used the same script on v5 and it worked. Don't think i need any of the fancy stuff on v6 TBH so i might still to v5 for now
