October 19, 201015 yr I've been trying to parity-sync three drives for the past 2 days: Samsung 1.5TB Seagate 1.5TB - Parity WD 1TB I can't tell exactly when it happens, but my parity sync keeps restarting itself. The highest I have seen it at is 60% and then next thing I knew it was back at 0.1%. It happened a couple times, and once while I was refreshing (I'm pretty sure I only gave it about 10 seconds in between refreshes), so I think the computer did not restart itself. That would have taken too long. What would cause it to restart? I have since taken the parity drive out and replaced it with another 1.5TB Samsung to see if it will work. It's at 3% (70MB/sec), but if it fails, what do I try next? I'm pulling my hair out here. EDIT: Looks like it was actually the computer restarting after all. I guess I will run Memtest overnight.
October 19, 201015 yr Once you do that and if nothing comes back post your full system specs and a syslog. Directions for capturing the syslog are in the troubleshooting section of the wiki.
October 19, 201015 yr And run a memory test ... Not had enough coffee jet this morning I see EDIT: Looks like it was actually the computer restarting after all. I guess I will run Memtest overnight.
October 19, 201015 yr Author I was able to run Memtest86+ for 8 hours (10 passes) with no errors and no reboots. I just installed the 1TB drive back in and started the parity sync and it only got to 4-5% before rebooting. Here is the syslog: http://www.mediafire.com/?e00fi21iff2116t System Specs: Motherboard: GIGABYTE GA-MA78GM-S2H CPU: AMD Athlon X2 4850e RAM: Crucial 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 PSU: Corsair 400W HDD: 1.5TB Samsung (Parity), 1.5 TB Samsung, 1.5TB Seagate, 1TB WD Green When I was not running the parity sync I was able to copy over about 1.2 TB of data without a restart, and over USB that took a lot longer than 7 hours, which is the estimated time it give to complete the parity sync. Any ideas?
October 19, 201015 yr Author UPDATE: Looks like it crashed again during parity sync while I was at work today. When I got home, it had rebooted but I couldn't even connect to it. I rebooted again, and the new Seagate drive I had put in was showing as unformatted even though I had previously formatted it. I tried formatting again and after I hit refresh the drive was still unformatted. This drive should be working fine- I ran chkdsk /r on it last night and only found 600kb in bad sectors. What is going on??
October 20, 201015 yr Author I installed version 5 beta 2 and the problems persisted. I guess I've narrowed it down my MoBo or PSU. I replaced the PSU- we'll see what happens overnight as it syncs. Edit: crashed after a couple hours. Time to order a new MoBo.
