BLKMGK Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 Running the initial beta. The last two times i've checked parity it's come back with errors - LOTSof them. Any idea what causes this or how to avoid it? When I shut down I use the WEB interface and use that to reboot too. Would hate to lose a disk and lose data because of a parity issue!

limetech Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 During normal operation, do you ever see the Error counters increasing? What's your system config? Quote Link to comment
BLKMGK Posted May 23, 2006 Author Share Posted May 23, 2006 Gah, been away awhile! No, during normal operation I don't ever see increasing Parity Errors. I have seen this during a Parity check once or twice and it would come back and state that the Parity wasn't correct. At one point it seemed to hang checking parity with errors ever climbing - I hated it and restarted. My config is exactly your recommended one - Intel M/B, 2x Promise controllers, 1Gig memory. I am running the first beta release of new code on my USB stick. This error has only ever hit me a few times and the system has been ticking along fine for awhile now. I did lose data once during a reboot when it didn't recognize a drive as having been setup already http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=84.0;topicseen however that hasn't occured a second time. I've also not had to reboot my system in weeks.... Dunno' if the two are related - will be reading that thread next. Quote Link to comment
