Monthly 5 Parity Errors

[coolspot]

I disabled VT-D on mine and also Int13h and I  was still having corruption issue. In the end, I replaced it with an LSI 9211-8i (plug-n-play replacement) and now my parity is stable.

Thanks. both.  I am pretty sure that my parity drive is on one of the motherboard's ports.  I'd need to check vd-t.  I don't think I need it enabled at the moment.  I also re-thought the 2nd parity question - you are right, it would not have made much difference, and would not identify the drive that was in error.  That would need a more comprehensive error detection scheme.

 

Since Tuesday's post I am currently running a nightly parity check just to see if anything else happens.  No problems so far.
