Newbie growing pains - cant transfer data to unraid server - Hardware

March 10, 201016 yr

Hi all,

after reading about it i decided to give it a try and try out unraid for my server. i've been using just an winxp box for the longest time in the closet with no issues.

i just got my new parts and put it all together, struggled getting it to boot first and what not, but i got all that sorted out thru the forums and the wiki entries, but now im at the point where im trying to copy stuff over to the server and it just keeps craping out after a period of time.

i connected one of my 1.5TB drives thru an eSATA enclosure to my HTPC and left the files copying when i went to work hoping it was all gonna be finished once i get back 12 hours later. to my suprise it crapped out after 700-800GB of data or so and the array was crapped out with the temp showing 0degrees and i wasnt able to do anything other then hard reset.

so ever since i've been playing with it and just cant get nothing going anymore. keeps crapping out after copying files over for a few minutes.

i figured out how to post the syslog file so here it is and a screenshot of the drive

the specs for the system

mobo : gigabyte GA-770TA-UD3 ( 8 sata ports including sata3 6Gb/s and USB3.0)

cpu: sempron 140

memory: OCS gold series 2GB

HD: Wd 1.5TB green series (will add more once i empty the old drives)

USB Flash: Kingston datatraveler 2 - 2GB

Your disk is suffering from massive "write" errors (basically it is not responding to the disk controller).

It could be a bad SATA cable to the disk, a bad power cable to the disk (or a loose cable of either power or data)

Or, it could be a bad drive.

To see if the drive is responding at all, type:

smartctl -a -d ata /dev/sda

and post the output.

Small sample of the errors in your syslog:
