April 29, 201412 yr Hello, So, I am back up, mostly, after a mobo failure. I went with 6.0 BETA b/c I had an LSI RAID card (IT Mode BIOS) and 5.x would not see drives on this card. I replaced 2 of my 500GB drives with new WD RED 3TB ones after clearing off the data and doing a New Config. This all went well, but now I have the new issue that once I get to around 70% +/- the GUI is unresponsive, but I can still access everything via SMB. I can also get into the console, but if I run too many commands, the console will just hang. I tried to see the Paroty sync status via the CLI, and that always hangs up. Where to begin? Not sure what directions I should take? I guess I could pull the new drives and see if the parity will sync without them? Thanks, Dave

May 1, 201412 yr Author Hello and thanks for the reply. Before adding ANY drive to ANY array or the like, I always run the LONG and THOROUGH diagnostics from whoever makes the drive. I then use some of my own tools, like SpinRite, Crystal, HDD Tune, and a few others depending of what I think may be the problem. Of course, the 3TB was tested and burned in for 72 hours prior to being added. I actually went back to basics on this problem to hopefully find my solution. I took out all new drives, so the 3TB RED (which had no data on it) is not being used at the moment. I also saw a few errors that looked like permission problems and the volume being mounted a R-O on ANOTHER different 1TB drive, so I copied the little data that was there to another drive and removed that one too, so I am now down to 8 drives. I then made a new config, and setup the drives and began the parity sync. Hopefully this will fix my problem, time will tell with 25% complete and 7 hours est. to go. If I can finish a parity sync, I will retest, low level format, and then burn in the 3 drives I want to re-add to my array. I need to walk before I attempt to jog Thanks for your input, David
