I've been using unraid for a number of years and I've never had problems until recently.  I believe that one of my problems stems from when I upgraded my 750 gb parity drive with a 1tb drive and then after rebuilding the parity, used the former parity drive as one of the data disks.  Of course unraid reformatted the drive, but I notice that it takes a very long time for the 750 gb drive to mount and during the mounting process it has almost as many disk "writes" as the parity drive.  Can anyone give me some help on this one?  Thanks!

When you need help you start by posting a syslog.

Ok-My system MB is a Supermicro MBD-x7slm with an Intel Celeron 1.8 ghz single-core processor and 2gb of corsair memory. I also have installed the Supermicro SAT2-MV8 SATA controller card and a SNT SATA Backplane.  I've attached a screen shot of my drives.  I have been fighting this problem for several months.  At first I thought it was my Windows 7 machine and network, but I've ruled that out.  The problem in simple terms is that when ripping new movies to UNRAID the system "hangs" and I have to reboot.  If the screen is still available, it won't take a command, "frozen".  It also has started happening when we watch a movie, the system "hangs" halfway through the movie.  I thought I might have a voltage problem and I did, but I've fixed that and still the problem persists.  As a sidebar, I thought the problem was the AAK drive I had and in replacing that I got into the format problem with 4.5.3.  I've recovered from that using the reiserfsck procedure to rebuild the data structure and am back working, except for the problem that started everything.  The only issue I see is with the 750 gb Samsung drive that used to be my parity.  I have run reiserfsck --check and SMART on the disk this morning, but nothing.  I have finally captured the Syslog to my flash drive, the system crashed while ripping a DVD,  and I am attaching it along with the SMART results and a screen shot of my disks.  I hope this is enough information.  Thanks in advance for the help.
