I hooked my WD 250g Caviar drive directly up to the sever to transfer the last bit of data to my 2TB data disk before adding my parity drive. I noticed transfer speeds were very slow 12-14 MBs  where as my wd 10EARS and IDE drive were in the 50+ range.

 

now I can't access my user shares on my win 7 laptop.  I can see them, but it doesn't connect to them. I do have access to \\tower\flash

 

I did a forum seach and found a reboot might possibly work, so I rebooted and its still now working I have attached my syslog  or you can click this link http://flomaster.pastebin.com/xSP1R749

not sure if my go script is correct, I added SABnzbd, Sickbeard, and CouchPotato today

when I get home from work today, I'll stop the array and restart it. if that doesn't work I am going to wipe my  flash drive and start from scratch. now that my data has all been transfered to my precleared disk I am ready to build parity and start using my server.

You are running out of ram and it is probably causing some of the problems you are seeing. All the python stuff you are trying to start looks like it is being killed off also.

 

Run a Memtest overnight and see if it comes back with any errors.  Also, disable any addons you are trying to start/run from the go script for now.  Better to add them back in later after everything is up and running.

 

Once you have the server up and running with no problems you can come back to this thread and we will start put your addons back in place.

prostuff, sounds like a plan I'll make those changes and run the memtest tonight.

well I have commented out the  python install and SABnzbd, Sickbeard, Couchpotato from my go script, I also had the wife turn power off to my WD250gb drive that was hooked up via usb in the hotswap enclosure.

 

my shares are now working and here is a system log.

so either my USB enclosure  or my go script causing havoc

 

on my system

It was not the USB enclosure.  You ran out of memory trying to run all those processes at once.    The kernel out-of-memory process kills of what it thinks are process that are otherwise idle.  The management console is often the first to go, along with the processes used for starting SAMBA sessions.  Your python sessions were killed off too.

 

You either need to add more memory to your server (How much do you have installed )

Or, run fewer processes

Or add a swap partition/file

Or adjust cache pressure to allow it to free memory otherwise used for cache.

Like this:

sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200

 

Or some combination of the above.

Joe, I have 1 stick of Kingston 2GB ddr2 I have 3 more slots open, but figures 2GB out to be enough and it very well might be enough, but I just need to  add a swap partition/file or adjust my cache pressure.

 

so im off to search and gain more info on swap partition/files  and cache pressure

 

I can't say for sure, but I had all 3 up and running yesterday, it seems when I added them to my go script things went wonky.

Joe,

I copied and pasted sysctl -w vm.vfs_cache_pressure=200 into the command terminal.

 

I then ran the  SABnzbd dependencies install to start up python from this post http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2903.msg30274#msg30274.

 

I then ran this line to start up couch potato

python /mnt/disk1/.custom/couchpotato/CouchPotato.py -d

 

here is my syslog http://flomaster.pastebin.com/m8cjEqCq

 

I think I need more memory, a cache drive, and swap partition
