ElJimador Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Can someone take a look at the log attached and let me know what's going on here? Yesterday morning I did a new config and the parity-sync that started appeared to be running fine throughout the day (refreshing the main tab it continued to show constant progress towards completing in about 12 hours). Now this morning I get up, 22+ hours in to the sync, and it says current position 90.3% and estimated finish in 98 days, 11 hours, and 45 minutes.  Need to know if I should stop this sync and try again or if there's some way to get it on track again. Thanks.

trurl Posted May 28, 2015 Share Posted May 28, 2015 Yes, I would go ahead and stop and try to get to the bottom of your hardware problems, which is probably responsible for your recent troubles. Â Not related to your reported problem, but there is May 27 08:32:10 JBOX kernel: FAT-fs (sda1): Volume was not properly unmounted. Some data may be corrupt. Please run fsck. Did you do several new configs during this log? There are several of these May 27 08:39:56 JBOX kernel: read_file: error 2 opening /boot/config/super.dat May 27 08:39:56 JBOX kernel: md: could not read superblock from /boot/config/super.dat May 27 08:39:56 JBOX kernel: md: initializing superblock May be corrupt flash or may just be new config, not sure. Since you are going to shut down anyway you might put your flash in your PC and let it checkdisk. Â After parity build starts there are some errors logged that make me suspect your disk controller. Maybe try reseating it. Link to comment
ElJimador Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Thanks trurl. I stopped the sync and now I'm trying to stop the array so I can power down but unfortunately it appears I'm hung there too. I'm getting the normal stop array messages at the bottom of the main tab but the page just keeps spinning. I'd hate to just to a hard power down. Are there commands I should try from the console or SSH instead?

ElJimador Posted May 28, 2015 Author Share Posted May 28, 2015 Alright, went ahead with clean install and parity-sync is running again and appears to be going fine.  It looks like the problem was with the seating of the SATA controller card. I hadn't noticed before but the bracket is a little mis-sized with where the screws attach to the card so it wasn't allowing the card to sit all the way down in the slot. So thanks trurl for the tip to look at that. Marking this as solved.
