Are you using "round" IDE cables?

or

Are you using 80 conductor flat IDE cables?  (They usually have a gray a blue, and a black connector)

or

Are you using a 40 conductor IDE cable (They are sometimes used for CD drives)

  • Author

First I used an 80 conductor, then I switched to a round cable, then I switched to another (new) 80 conductor cable.

 

When the rebuild went all the way to 99.9% I did have drive 6 on cable select on slave on a 80 conductor but with no master on the chain.

Fixed that. (doh!)

 

But the last time I ran it I think I was on a round cable - and I had fixed the master situation it failed much earlier. When it fails it seems to fill up ram as well - the command free shows available ram shrinking...

 

So far rebuild looks ok no errors on drive 6:

Round cables are not able to handle the higher data rates of most drives.  They might look good, but they usually do not meet specs.

 

Using the slave connector with nothing on the master is also a recipe for bad communications to a disk.  (Always use the connector on the end of the cable first, then add the additional drive to the connector in the middle.

 

Your syslog showed the drive being set to a PIO4 mode.  That usually indicates the communications could not be established at a higher rate.

 

I'm glad your re-construction is progressing.  Let's hope your luck continues.

If you don't use 80 conductor cable for all IDE disks, maybe you should have because it is mandatory for UDMA mode 2 and up and 80 conductor cable has better interference prevention. settle down in PIO only slow down data I/O speed that also affect parity check/data-rebuild. once you rebuild disk5, you should try to resolve PIO issue, if you can't then it might be better migrating to SATA.

 

Because too many signal lines in parallel data bus in IDE created interference problem that preventing higher clock speed for greater data throughput. Latest I/O spec such as SATA or Infiniband that used in high-end data center or cluster machine both are using serial data transportation, although serial data bus has smaller data transport size compared with parallel bus but overall throughput could be compensated through higher clock speed. SATA1 (1.5Gps), SATA2 (3Gbps) and SATA3 (6Gbps).

Is there a key to reading the MSG.log? I am technical enough (to be dangerous  ;) ) to understand some of the stuff but I see many mentions of PIO - I do have 4 old 200gig IDE PATA drives hooked up to a promise controller - that are probably not using 80 conductor cables.

 

I did notice a pause when I started up the unraid software on server - where it ran through all the drives, then the log flashed real fast across the screen and the login came up.

 

Is MSGS the same as what flashes on the screen when UNRAID boots up?

 

Should I have the Bios have Plug and play OS?

 

What do these things mean:

1.

 

Found IT8712F chip at 0xd00, revision 7

it87: in3 is VCC (+5V)

it87: in7 is VCCH (+5V Stand-By)

ACPI: I/O resource it87 [0xd05-0xd06] conflicts with ACPI region ECRE [0xd00-0xd1f]

ACPI: If an ACPI driver is available for this device, you should use it instead of the native driver

 

2.

 

IDE controller (0x10de:0x0053 rev 0xf3)

amd74xx 0000:00:0f.0: BIOS didn't set cable bits correctly. Enabling workaround.

amd74xx 0000:00:0f.0: not 100% native mode: will probe irqs later

GK20 - What am I looking for? I posted the syslog - I have no idea what I am looking for - very confused why its 99.9% done and then stuck.

Is there some tool I can run in linux to check if the drive has failed - I am just wasting time with all this cable/port swapping crap?

 

disk6 ST3500841A_3PM079GN 0°C 488,386,552 245,981,228 1,499,779 7 27,914,208

Well,  the tool to tell if a drive has failed is

smartctl -d ata -d /dev/sdX

or

smartctl -d ata -d /dev/hdX

 

where sdX or hdX = the device of disk6.  (hdX could be hda, hdb, hdc, etc for IDE drives, od sda, sdb, sdc etc for SATA drives)

Well here's the strange thing - I am able to recover files from drive 6 After a reboot of the server with the rebuild back to 0.0% complete.

However same files would not play etc when rebuild was at 99.9%.

 

This makes no sense??

 

I am going to recover the important stuff before I do anything else.

 

I already do off site backups with a HD in a bank vault for my most critical data - I am thinking maybe I need to rethink what/how I classify critical data.

 

WHY Am I able to read fine off of disk 6 now?

  • Author

The good news is - I managed to grab the most critical data off of disk 6 - NICE!

 

There are no errors reported on the console for drive 6 yet.

 

Now let me ask you - if there was corruption on the original drive 5 would this manifest it self as errors on drive 6 when you try a rebuild? I do not see how this can happen - but this is not making any sense to me right now. Grasping at straws.

 

BTW the power supply is a 600W Enermax Noisetaker ATX 12V V2

This should be plenty power - and if it were the power supply then I would have drive issues on boot up not at 99.9% of complete on a rebuild? Why is it stopping at 99.9%???

 

Do you guys see anything in the log files?

  • Author

Lets say I get everything I want out of disk 5 and 6 and I want to just get two blank drives - or maybe a blank for 5 and 6 with the data that is still on it. ie forget this damned rebuild. What must I do?

 

  • Author

Whats the easiest way to hook up either disk 5 or disk 6 to a win 7 machine and to see what data is recoverable?

 

BTW the power supply is a 600W Enermax Noisetaker ATX 12V V2

This should be plenty power - and if it were the power supply then I would have drive issues on boot up not at 99.9% of complete on a rebuild? Why is it stopping at 99.9%???

According to this web-page at the enermax web-site, your power supply has 2 18Amp 12Volt rails.  One is used for the CPU, the other for the disks.

 

You basically have 18Amps available.  If you have older drives (and I know you have some) figure on 3 Amps per drive.   Figure on an amp or two for the fans.  You are right on the edge of stressing that supply past its limits.

 

Multi-rail supplies often only have one rail connected to the molex connectors for the disks.  It gives you a false sense of having a 600 Watt power supply.  You really are not using much of it, and cannot, because it was designed for power hungry video cards run by game enthusiasts.

 

I'm not saying it is the issue, but it might not be as powerful as you think.

 

I saw the ethernet controller lock up and reset itself in your syslog.  Are you sure the re-construction is still in progress?

 

Can you type

/root/mdcmd status | strings

and post the output?

So I am able to grab a lot of files off of disk 6 - some files make the drive generate errors. If I skip these I seem to be ok. I think the drive is failing. How to confirm?

After I took the sys and msgs logs I rebooted the server - it would not even shutdown properly.

 

And then backed up the critical data on disk 6

 

Now getting secondary datat off of disk 6

 

When I tried to do a big chunk copy of secondary data drive started to make some noise and console showed errors basically copy failed and console just kept showing more and more errors for disk 6 - then went unresponsive - I had to do a hard boot.

 

Re booted quite slow to get to console. Finally got there - now I am copying secondary data one file at a time.

 

Whats the easiest way to mount this on a Windows 7 machine?

So I am able to grab a lot of files off of disk 6 - some files make the drive generate errors. If I skip these I seem to be ok. I think the drive is failing. How to confirm?

You have 11 drives on a 18 Amp supply.  You are way past the limits of the power supply even if you only figure 2 amps per drive. (they would need between 22 Amps and 33 Amps)

ok shall hook up second power supply to old MB and switch some drives to second power supply to see if that makes problem go away.

 

Can you recommend a single power supply that is more capable?

ok shall hook up second power supply to old MB and switch some drives to second power supply to see if that makes problem go away.

That sure would help.

Can you recommend a single power supply that is more capable?

Any with a single 12 Volt rail that has a capacity of 35 Amps or more.  (Actually, since the motherboard needs some 12Volt power too, better make that 45 Amps or more)

But Joe do you really think this is a power issue? I was able to copy a bunch of files off of disk 6.
