purko Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 There seems to be a smb issue with unraid and the new version of xbmc If you could downgrade to unRAID-4.5-beta11, and see if the XBMC issues go away, then we may narrow down the possible problem. Quote Link to comment
cwr Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 i run xbmc (well, plex) on 3 macs and it's all working fine here on a plus note, i disabled the spinup groups and no longer have the disk-spinup-pause problem when i spin up a new disk, so i guess i was hit by that samba bug everything working 100% right now Quote Link to comment

RoninTech Posted January 9, 2010 Share Posted January 9, 2010 Can someone have a look at this post describing issues I'm having with 4.5? Wasn't sure where to put it... Anyone? Quote Link to comment

limetech Posted January 11, 2010 Author Share Posted January 11, 2010 Can someone have a look at this post describing issues I'm having with 4.5? Wasn't sure where to put it... Anyone? Looks like a couple people did look at that post & concluded your parity disk is failing, and looking at your system log, I come to the same conclusion. SMART is not always reliable in predicting or identifying bad drives - which is a major weakness of SMART - a lot of times a drive will fail and SMART still thinks everything is ok.

Kewjoe Posted January 11, 2010 Share Posted January 11, 2010 Hi Tom, any chance we can get a 4.5 section in the forum? perhaps even a 5.0 Alpha section as well Quote Link to comment
Kaygee Posted January 12, 2010 Share Posted January 12, 2010 smart isnt perfect granted, but it is much better than what we had before. Quote Link to comment

subwars Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 quick turnable question, i have 4 gig of ram, and wondering what others are doing for this side... i'm not sure if i should just put them up a bit, or double them or even more, the defaults are set for 512mb, i belive from memory. So in theory i could put them up 8 times, but i doubt thats a realistic thing to do. Quote Link to comment
purko Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 defaults are set for 512mb What default are you talking about? So in theory i could put them up 8 times What does that mean? Are you using some web-based automatic translator? Quote Link to comment
aiden Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Are you using some web-based automatic translator? LOL. I was hoping I wasn't the only one with a going on. Quote Link to comment
Chris Pollard Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 I guess he means the default settings of unRAID are optimised for 512mb of RAM. Can he change them to something more suitable for 4gb of RAM. If thats the question then I think the answer is.... you don't need to change them, it does it automatically. Someone correct me if I'm wrong Quote Link to comment
purko Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 You are not wrong. I played with higher values for those "tuneables", and it didn't make much of a difference. Looks like Tom came up with good default values. Quote Link to comment
Chris Pollard Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 ahhh now I see, the tunables on the settings page... those have nothing to do with system memory afaik. Quote Link to comment
purko Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Well, technically, they do. But the answer is still the same. Quote Link to comment
purko Posted January 24, 2010 Share Posted January 24, 2010 will probably soon produce a 4.5.1 "final" version that includes a linux kernel update. Just a note that Linux Kernel 2.6.31.8 and 2.6.32.1 have been released recently. They both have some SCSI fixes and a ton of EXT4 fixes. Linux Kernel 2.6.32.2 stable as of 2009-12-18. Linux Kernel 2.6.32.3 stable as of 2010-01-06. Linux Kernel 2.6.32.5 stable as of 2010-01-22. Quote Link to comment
Gog Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 I upgraded to 4.5 from 4.4.2 this weekend. No problem so far and performance increase is dramatic. Haven't done a parity check yet but moving files from one disk to another from a telnet session is somewhere between 6 to 10 times faster. System has 6 Seagates between 200 and 1000GB and a green 1TB WD Just wanted to say I'm very happy with 4.5 and thanks for the hard work. Gog Quote Link to comment
NAS Posted January 25, 2010 Share Posted January 25, 2010 Tom perhaps its time for a 4.5 forum Quote Link to comment

konsume Posted January 29, 2010 Share Posted January 29, 2010 How do you update the kernel? Quote Link to comment
BRiT Posted January 30, 2010 Share Posted January 30, 2010 I get the latest kernel source (including headers), copy over the md drivers, configure the kernel, compile the kernel, compile the modules, install the modules, install the kernel, then reboot. If you don't know what those steps mean, then perhaps looking through several of the wiki pages would help. Here's some to look through: http://lime-technology.com/wiki/index.php?title=Building_a_custom_kernel http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1244.0 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=1244.msg8721#msg8721 http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2073.0 Quote Link to comment
