April 26, 201016 yr Sorry for the crosspost (I posted this in the announcements thread, but no response there yet...) I Have a disk showing as missing after the 4.5.3 upgrade...(from 4.5) Smells alot like the old disk missing issue, but doesn't seem to show the same way... My syslog shows it's detecting the drive with a slightly different name, and the menu screen shows the disk as "Missing". Nowhere does the different name show up in the user interface (not under devices either)...the drive shows with a red bullet. The drive is a Hitachi, and I have 2 other Hitachi's in my setup and they're detected just fine...It almost looks like the newly detected name is corrupted somehow. Downgrading to 4.5 shows everything alright. I'm trying to upgrade to 4.5.3 in order to support the new supermicro board I'm about to install. Here's what my main screen shows: Version 4.5: Model / Serial No. Temperature Size Free Reads Writes Errors parity ata-Hitachi_HDS721010KLA330_GTJ100PAG0YG3C 42°C 976,762,552 - 105 122 0 disk1 ata-SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJDWS323320 34°C 976,762,552 36,868,312 54 6 0 disk2 ata-SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1BQ702829 33°C 976,762,552 15,414,156 55 6 0 disk3 ata-SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJDWS323304 30°C 976,762,552 38,589,180 52 6 0 disk4 ata-SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1BQ735050 34°C 976,762,552 140,416,300 52 6 0 disk5 ata-Hitachi_HDS721010KLA330_GTG000PAG17Z4C 39°C 976,762,552 85,548,068 53 6 0 disk6 ata-Hitachi_HDS721010KLA330_GTJ100PAG0HBSC 40°C 976,762,552 636,785,268 118 78 0 disk7 ata-Hitachi_HDT721010SLA360_STF604MR2MDJ6P 35°C 976,762,552 422,973,780 48 5 0 disk8 ata-Hitachi_HDT721010SLA360_STF604MR3GM8SP 34°C 976,762,552 937,514,212 52 7 0 disk9 Not installed disk10 Not installed ----------------------------------------- Post 4.5.3 upgrade Model / Serial No. Temperature Size Free Reads Writes Errors parity Hitachi_HDS72101_GTJ100PAG0YG3C 42°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk1 SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJDWS323320 34°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk2 SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1BQ702829 33°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk3 SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJDWS323304 30°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk4 SAMSUNG_HD103UJ_S13PJ1BQ735050 34°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk5 Hitachi_HDS72101_GTG000PAG17Z4C 38°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk6 Hitachi_HDS72101_GTJ100PAG0HBSC 40°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk7 Missing Hitachi_HDT721010SLA360_STF604MR2MDJ6P - - 976,762,552 - - - - disk8 Hitachi_HDT72101_STF604MR3GM8SP 34°C 976,762,552 - - - - disk9 Not installed disk10 Not installed I'm also attaching my syslogs... ...I think the entry of note in the 4.5.3 log is as follows: Apr 26 13:21:18 Tower kernel: ata1.00: model number mismatch 'Hdtachi HQT721010^BLA360 0' != 'Hitachi HDT721010SLA360' Not sure why this drive is being detected as a Hdtachi instead of Hitachi under 4.5.3 Any ideas?

April 27, 201016 yr Author The only thing interesting about this, is it's the first drive that's detected that seems to have the name corruption problem... it appears to be on a controller using the SIL24 driver...so this isn't a SAS issue (I think?).... From what I can tell by the syslog, there's another drive on this controller as well, and it's also a hitachi and it reports just fine... I'm at a loss....could this be a cabling issue?...strange that it doesn't manifest itself with 4.5, only 4.5.3 (I haven't tried anything in between [should i?]) I've no idea what to try next...I don't want to go ripping things apart without having any idea what the best systematic approach would be from here... Should I: Try swapping ports with another drive? Try resetting my configuration and rebuilding parity using the "bad" drive name that's registering under 4.5.3 (and risk the name fixing itself later?) Wait for 4.5.4? I've got the supermicro board I'd like to install, and 2 brand new drives I'm ready to deploy...so waiting is probably my last choice...but all the others seem to carry some risk... Any suggestions/ideas/comments? David
April 28, 201016 yr Did you try rebooting a second time with 4.5.3 and does the troubled harddisk detect the exact same way ? A bad cable would probably give you a different string each time.
May 1, 201016 yr Author Yes, the name came back the same (wrong way) after every reboot.... I've moved the drives off the sil controller card and all is well again....I still have no idea why one of the drives is reporting wrong on this controller.... David
May 1, 201016 yr freak of nature, or controller is fried i was going ot suggest you change sata ports then reassign but look slike youve done that. might want to try another disk on your sata card to see if the problem exists with the card itself.
May 18, 201016 yr Author @terrastrife: Yea, I've moved the drive...I can't believe it's a fried controller, since it works with one version (4.5.2), but not another (4.5.3)...I see that there's a new release...perhaps I'll try it again on that controller to see how it behaves...otherwise, the drives are running fine on the supermicro controller I put in. to everyone else who replied to my thread, thanks very much...still no actual solution, but the work-around is to not use that controller. I'll follow up after I try the latest release if anyone is curious...
