diehard2k9 Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Hello, I am have crashes when transfering files from unassign to a share. below is the log file that is showing some ere with sata, I am not sure what to do about this. I have 4 WD gold 10TB 1 parity and 3 storage I have 3 SSD 512 cache drive My probelm doesn't happen all the time but I would notice that the UNRAID had stopped and all the files where not copied to the share. I would use Krusader docker or windows 10 VM or the linux VM to copy file from the unassign to a share. I would like to solve this problem before I fully start using the system. AMD EPYC with 64GB ram One last thing if anyone know how to install the CPU drivers so it says install would you please help me out. the last photo show the config and that the CPU says not install. I am wonder if that is the reason that the overclock doesn't work and all core stay at 2.0 and not boost to 2.55 or more. Thanks for reading and any help would be great Apr 13 04:48:50 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: status: { DRDY }Apr 13 04:48:50 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: hard resetting linkApr 13 04:48:51 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)Apr 13 04:48:51 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133Apr 13 04:48:51 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: EH completeApr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x280100 action 0x6 frozenApr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal errorApr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: SError: { UnrecovData 10B8B BadCRC }Apr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: failed command: READ DMA EXTApr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: cmd 25/00:40:20:1c:21/00:05:00:01:00/e0 tag 7 dma 688128 inApr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: res 50/00:00:1f:1c:21/00:00:00:01:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)Apr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: status: { DRDY }Apr 13 04:50:07 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: hard resetting linkApr 13 04:50:08 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)Apr 13 04:50:08 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133Apr 13 04:50:08 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: EH completeApr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x280100 action 0x6 frozenApr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal errorApr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: SError: { UnrecovData 10B8B BadCRC }Apr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: failed command: READ DMA EXTApr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: cmd 25/00:40:c8:18:d1/00:05:07:01:00/e0 tag 21 dma 688128 inApr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: res 50/00:00:c7:18:d1/00:00:07:01:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)Apr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: status: { DRDY }Apr 13 04:54:56 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: hard resetting linkApr 13 04:54:57 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)Apr 13 04:54:57 KRAKEN kernel: ata6.00: configured for UDMA/133Apr 13 04:54:57 KRAKEN kernel: ata6: EH completeApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: exception Emask 0x10 SAct 0x0 SErr 0x280100 action 0x6 frozenApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: irq_stat 0x08000000, interface fatal errorApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5: SError: { UnrecovData 10B8B BadCRC }Apr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: failed command: READ DMA EXTApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: cmd 25/00:40:48:e8:92/00:05:4b:01:00/e0 tag 22 dma 688128 inApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: res 50/00:00:47:e8:92/00:00:4b:01:00/40 Emask 0x10 (ATA bus error)Apr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: status: { DRDY }Apr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5: hard resetting linkApr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5: SATA link up 6.0 Gbps (SStatus 133 SControl 300)Apr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5.00: configured for UDMA/133Apr 13 05:38:12 KRAKEN kernel: ata5: EH complete Quote Link to comment
John_M Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 Your disk controller is losing contact with at least two disks and keeps resetting their links. So shut down and replace the cables and check the power to them. I can't tell which disks from the information you provided. If you continue to have problems post your diagnostics zip: Tools -> Diagnostics. Quote Link to comment

JorgeB Posted April 13, 2018 Share Posted April 13, 2018 All your disks have UDMA CRC errors, are you using some sort of enclosure? If not either all SATA cables are bad/low quality or you have a different problem, like a bad PSU, controller, etc. Quote Link to comment

Okay I will try to check my connection. everything is brand new and I have used enclosure before without any problem. I will try the cables, and the power connectors and reseat the drives in the enclosure. If that doesn't help I'll try it without the enclosure Quote Link to comment

Vr2Io Posted April 14, 2018 Share Posted April 14, 2018 (edited) Seems it is first case about AMD EPYC onboard SATA controller got such problem, I use Ryzen and only 1 disk attach to onboard and never got such problem. ( direct connect and no any enclosure ). I think 3 thing one by one you may try, (1) disable all VM (IOMMU), (2) tweak something on MB BIOS, (3) bypass icydock. The bad was those UDMA error count won't clear on those disk and I think at the end you may need buy another disk controller. Edited April 14, 2018 by Benson Quote Link to comment

Yeah I was thinking that it might be the onboard SATA controller but I have no way to test it. I got all the setting correct in the motherboard bios but I'll look again. Maybe check them from AUTO to enable or something. I'm going to need the IOMMU when I add the video cards that I need to passthrough. Not sure what you mean about UDMA error count wont clear. I'm not even there yet to see if I can. Looks like it didn't like the USB backup drives craddle. After I stoped using it not more reboot. Copying from over the network it slow but it also didn't crash the unraid. I moved over 1TB. I still go some errors but not as much. Any other help you can think to give me would be great.

Vr2Io Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 I mean UDMA error counter in SMART won't clear. I also got such error when I use a Marvell SATA controller card, but it never cause crash / reboot, just prompt error and cause slow down. For disable VM (IOMMU), this is for tempoary troubleshoot. With a such powerful system, how could allow for defect.

John_M Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 (edited) It really just looks like a connection (or possibly power) problem to me. Have you tried connecting the disks directly to the motherboard to eliminate the drive bay? It looks as though your motherboard provides up to 10 SATA ports, two via regular SATA connectors and eight via two Ipass connectors, directly from the SATA controllers built into the CPUs. Therefore the Ipass connectors appear to be associated one with each CPU socket. I'm not sure what happens if you have only one CPU installed but I would expect that only its associated ports will work. Your experience will confirm if that is indeed the case. I would expect a number of this motherboard's features to be unavailable if only one CPU is used, which makes your motherboard/CPU choice seem a little strange, if you'll forgive me for saying. I can't help wondering why you would buy an expensive two-socket board but only fit a P-suffix processor - it isn't as though you can add a second one later when the need arises.

What matters is whether the count continues to increase. You simply have to acknowledge the current count in the GUI to cancel the warning and if the warning returns there have been further errors.

pwm Posted April 15, 2018 Share Posted April 15, 2018 2 hours ago, John_M said: What is the PSU? There is absolutely no sense in buying a cheap one. A PSU has a quite long life span - so it might be used in your next-generation server too. So it can be seen as an investment. A PSU that fails can smoke all your drives - then it doesn't matter how much parity you have. Better PSU has supervision that cuts off the power output if the PSU fails to properly regulate the voltages. Better a PSU that turns off, than seeing the magic smoke - I still haven't seen anyone manage to put the magic smoke back into the chips. And a cheap PSU isn't as powerful as the good power supplies - a good PSU can handle a significant overload for a short time allowing it to better handle load spikes and allowing it to better handle the load when the system boots. The difference in capacity is because high-end PSU specify their rating based on how much power they can handle without getting overheated, while low-end PSU specify the max current the components can handle. Next thing is that good PSU uses high-temperature capacitors - they do not dry out as quickly, reducing the danger of the system becoming unstable after a couple of years because the PSU fails to properly filter the output voltages. See the PSU as similar to the foundation when you build a house. Build the house on a bad foundation, and you may get lots of quite expensive problems later. 1 Quote Link to comment

Hi, to tell the truth I want to buy two CPU but I got turned off but all the dealer selling this CPU, they were all brain dead to me. When I asked question I would get B**LS*IT answers and I did buy some but had to return them due to the fact I didn't want to damage the motherboard because the blue cpu tray was not included. I looked since jan to get the correct CPU but something or another stop me from buying from that dealer. So I just bought from newegg and it was real cheap from that single CPU and it would let me start getting the system up and running. Yes each CPU controls SATA and I can only use the 1 port with four drive but that is enough for me to get this beast up and running. feature that wont work because of 1 CPU is NVME ports, I dont need at this time. 1 first PICE port, dont need it at this time. Everything else runs of the first CPU. I got the MB for future proof, so when I' ready I'll get 2 dual CPU, was going to go the single CPU but that MB was out of stock, I have been waiting and I didn't want to wait anymore.

I dont know why it would matter it's not going to be pulling any major power until the new one comes into stock. Quote Link to comment

So it can be seen as an investment. A PSU that fails can smoke all your drives - then it doesn't matter how much parity you have. Better PSU has supervision that cuts off the power output if the PSU fails to properly regulate the voltages. Better a PSU that turns off, than seeing the magic smoke - I still haven't seen anyone manage to put the magic smoke back into the chips. And a cheap PSU isn't as powerful as the good power supplies - a good PSU can handle a significant overload for a short time allowing it to better handle load spikes and allowing it to better handle the load when the system boots. The difference in capacity is because high-end PSU specify their rating based on how much power they can handle without getting overheated, while low-end PSU specify the max current the components can handle. Next thing is that good PSU uses high-temperature capacitors - they do not dry out as quickly, reducing the danger of the system becoming unstable after a couple of years because the PSU fails to properly filter the output voltages. See the PSU as similar to the foundation when you build a house. Build the house on a bad foundation, and you may get lots of quite expensive problems later. Yes, I am using a 1600W PSU which is more than enough to run this system with 4 drives without pushing it to that breaking point. All files are backed up on the original system and are only being copied to this new on. Everything is brand new but I dont know why I am getting errors and shut downs. Someone said that I should just get a controller card for the hard drive and not use the onboard. I was thinking about that but trying to keep the cost down. Quote Link to comment

It isn't so much about the quantity of power but the quality. Perhaps it has split rails. So, what is the PSU (as in brand and model)? Have you tried excluding the drive bay? It is not inconceivable that your CPU socket might have a bent pin. It's a nuisance to do, but if all else fails I would consider removing the processor and examining the socket using a magnifying glass and desk lamp. If you see any suspect pins don't try to fix them yourself but have the board repaired. Quote Link to comment

They seldom outright lie. They just "adjust" the truth a bit by ignoring the derating factor - they may specify the maximum peak power/current the PSU can supply at 20°C while keeping quiet about how much lower power the PSU can supply at 30°C or 40°C. A data sheet for a component might specify that it can handle 20A at 20° linearly derating to 0A and 100°, which means that depending on the temperature you get: At 20°C 20A At 40°C 15A At 60°C 10A At 80°C 5A At 100°C 0A It makes a huge difference if a 40A power rail is designed to survive a maximum peak current 40A, or if it is designed to handle 60-80A but with 40A specified as continuous load up to 40°C ambient temperature. When reading a data sheet it is often more interesting to look for the information that is missing than the information that is there - the missing information is what the manufacturer prefers the customer to not know about.

Hi this week I will try to excluded the drive bay, waiting for a cage to up in that I can connect all the hard drive directly to the MB. This system is only using 150watts and the PSU is a cheap one from china that is used foe a mining rig, the main PSU hasn't come in yet. Quote Link to comment
