Sean_W_Smith Posted May 5, 2014 Share Posted May 5, 2014 Hi All, Currently on 5.0.5 on a 20 bay Norco with 4 sata's on the mobo and 1 SAS-MV8 8 port card and the SAS2-MV8 8 port card. Both expansion cards seem to work well and the parity drive is currently on the mobo. I can't figure out for the life of me how to upgrade my parity disk. If I stop the array and pick the new disk it says its the wrong disk and wont start the array. If I remove the parity drive complete and then reboot the array unprotected (which starts fine) and then shut the array down and select the 4TB as the new parity drive and then start the array the array fails to start. There is no error on the screen on anything obvious in the syslog. I've read this thread here but its not working for me. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2280.0 Any ideas on how to debug this or what I might be doing wrong? Thanks, Sean Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Here's a pastebin of the syslog of me trying to change the parity to the new disk. http://pastebin.com/iQy3xsWn Sean Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 5, 2014 Author Share Posted May 5, 2014 Here's a snippet from the log if I disable the old parity disk and leave the array completely unprotected and then try and add back the 4tb drive as a new drive....

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 OK trying now..... Sean Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 OK that worked.... when I installed the stick the PC asked me to run chkdsk. never seen it do that before. no the array starts and tries to rebuild parity but I am getting massive write errors trying to write to the drive.... syslog here... http://pastebin.com/zDPZDibR Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 could attaching the 4TB drive to a PC and formatting it cause problems...... I did that previously to test the drive.... I wanted to try pre-clearing the disk so I started that....

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 6, 2014 Author Share Posted May 6, 2014 Thanks I will try that once the preclear finishes..... It still seems from me that when I plugged into windows via USB 2.0 and it thought it was a 2TB disk. maybe unraid is confused by the BS the USB 2.0 host under windows wrote to the disk. hopefully the preclear will fix this or your suggestion.

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 OK gonna try safe mode but I don't think that will solve it. what happend was the parity sync failed at the very very end after 1+ days of syncing. pre_clear worked though...... I still think something thinks the disc is the wrong size... here's what's in the syslog....

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 SO how can I undo whatever MS windows did to my disk when I used it under windows. Is there a way to remove all paritions and make the disk look totally empty again? uninitialized? Sean Quote Link to comment
trurl Posted May 9, 2014 Share Posted May 9, 2014 SO how can I undo whatever MS windows did to my disk when I used it under windows. Is there a way to remove all paritions and make the disk look totally empty again? uninitialized? Sean If you successfully precleared the disk after whatever MS windows did then you should be OK. Your pastebin syslog doesn't include the most recent bootup so I don't know what addons you have, but there have been other reports of addons breaking sgdisk so the suggestion to start in SAFE MODE is probably going to be necessary even if it doesn't completely fix the problem.

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 Got it. I will bring up in safe mode and try again! Sean Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 When I start in Safe Mode it just repeats could not open input file : plugins/notifications/notify.php every second for ever. Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 BTW: it stopped with the notify.php messages eventually.... Is this normal from Pre-clear. I am concerned about the bold messages.... ################################################################## 1.15 Device Model: HGST HMS5C4040BLE640 Serial Number: PL2331LAGJGVSJ LU WWN Device Id: 5 000cca 22ec77dbb Firmware Version: MPAOA5D0 User Capacity: 4,000,787,030,016 bytes [4.00 TB] Disk /dev/sdo: 4000.8 GB, 4000787030016 bytes 255 heads, 63 sectors/track, 486401 cylinders, total 7814037168 sectors Units = sectors of 1 * 512 = 512 bytes Sector size (logical/physical): 512 bytes / 4096 bytes I/O size (minimum/optimal): 4096 bytes / 4096 bytes Disk identifier: 0x00000000 Device Boot Start End Blocks Id System /dev/sdo1 1 4294967295 2147483647+ 0 Empty Partition 1 does not end on cylinder boundary.

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 See my sig. will do Quote Link to comment
Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 BTW: This command is enough to wipe the partition table. dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdo bs=512 count=1 resetting everything to stock now, and then I will do a safe boot and try adding the new parity disk again. thanks everyone.

Sean_W_Smith Posted May 9, 2014 Author Share Posted May 9, 2014 OK everything has been reset to factory. booted in safe mode. new disk has no parition table according to fdisk -l and I just added the disk and parity and started the Sync. I'll post back after the Sync completes and see what happens. Quote Link to comment
