July 13, 200916 yr Thanks for all the past help. I have a new problem. When I remove disk 2, an 80 gig IDE data drive and replace it with a 160 gig SATA, I cant assign the new drive. I see it in devices and try to select it from drop down list but it reverts back.
July 13, 200916 yr Do you have a parity drive? What browser are you using? Do you have javascript enabled? what version of unRAID are you running? What other drives do you have installed? What is the status of your array? Are all the indicators on the management web-interface green? If not, what colors are they? You might attach a syslog... it will help in any analysis. Joe L.
July 13, 200916 yr Author I do have a parity drive. I am using IE8 with windows 7 64 bit. Active scripting is enabled (i think it is the same thing) I am running 4.5 beta 6 I have a 320 gig parity drive (sata), a 320 gig data drive (sata) and the 120 gig data (sata). Oooh Oooh....it finally took. It must have been a loose cable. Thanks so much!
July 13, 200916 yr Author Uhh Ohh..... I just noticed that its the parity drive thats doin all the writing. Is that normal?
July 13, 200916 yr When transferring a file to the protected array, you should see both the parity drive and the data drive being written to. If you see only one drive being written to, then something is wrong.
July 14, 200916 yr Uhh Ohh..... I just noticed that its the parity drive thats doin all the writing. Is that normal? Please supply a copy of your syslog. It is the only way to know what is happening. on your version, all you need to do to get it is to browse to //tower/log/syslog Save it to a syslog.txt file, zip it up if really big and attach it to your next post. A screen print of the main page will help if you think see anything unusual there. So far, you are not giving a clear enough description of what you are doing, and what is happening for me to help you much. As far as I know, you will never see just the parity drive being written to unless you are initially calculating parity. It will always be in combination with writes to another drive otherwise. Joe L.
July 14, 200916 yr Author OK ... it appears that my data is in good shape. I did have writes to parity and data disk 2 but didn't think that parity should be changing at all. Thanks.
