DaniloSilva Posted December 17, 2010 Share Posted December 17, 2010 Can someone check my syslog to make sure all is ok? I've tested unRAID on my hardware for a week and all seems perfect but I'd like be be as sure as possible before I start trusting with my data. File attached but also pasted here: http://paste-bin.com/view/9d98ef7b Thanks, Dan syslog-2010-12-17.txt Link to comment
DaniloSilva Posted December 18, 2010 Author Share Posted December 18, 2010 OK I'll take that as A-OK then :-) Link to comment
Joe L. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Only thing I saw was this: Dec 17 16:07:03 NAS kernel: 8 Processors exceeds NR_CPUS limit of 4 basically, your CPU is more than unRAID's kernel is compiled for. It won't hurt anything. You must have a very nice CPU plugged into the motherboard. It will treat it as a 4CPU machine. Link to comment
Ken R. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 Intel i3's do that; Dec 4 11:40:45 kingsnake kernel: 8 Processors exceeds NR_CPUS limit of 4 Dec 4 11:40:45 kingsnake kernel: SMP: Allowing 4 CPUs, 0 hotplug CPUs always struck me as strange. Link to comment

It is because the unRAID kernel was configured to use only 4 CPUs. The entry in the .config file is: CONFIG_NR_CPUS=4 If you had a need, and an appropriate CPU/motherboard, you could probably re-compile a custom kernel that would use the other CPUs. (not that they would have anything to do unless you were doing some multiple serious VMWARE sessions) Link to comment
Ken R. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 yeah but i3's don't have more than 4 cores? Link to comment
BRiT Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 AFAIK... The i3's have 2 cores which are both hyperthreaded (HTT) so it shows as 4 CPU cores. It isn't until the i5/i7 Quad Cores that you get 4 cores all of which are hyperthreaded (HTT) so it shows as 8 cores. Link to comment
Ken R. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 as I said, seems strange that an i3 is detected as eight cores. Link to comment
Joe L. Posted December 18, 2010 Share Posted December 18, 2010 as I said, seems strange that an i3 is detected as eight cores. It is 2 CPUs but they are hyper-threaded, so linux thinks there are 8. Link to comment
DaniloSilva Posted December 19, 2010 Author Share Posted December 19, 2010 The CPU is not fancy at all, it's a dual core AMD Athlon II X2 240e 2.8GHz: http://products.amd.com/en-us/DesktopCPUDetail.aspx?id=694 I built my unRAID for efficiency but wanted enough grunt to enable SABnzb and Sickbeard at some point in the future when those plugins have matured a little.
