Xutho Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Dear folks, at the moment i try to get unraid running on my old QNAP-TS453B mini. But only 2 HDD´s are recognized (should be 4) so i found out QNAP is using 2 different controllers... one intel and one marvell 88SE9215 (i think is the one in my qnap) and i know already there are many "issues" with marvell controller so i tried the suggested fix to edit my syslinux.conf (insert iommu=pt) but without success.... also i tried to deactivate all virtualization support in bios but also nothing Also i tried to get an BIOS Update by QNAP but "they didn´t update the Bios only OS" (answer from german Qnap support) So now i tried the current 6.90.beta30 Version but same story.. Maybe you guy´s have an idea .. i want to install unraid on the qnap as backup NAS for my current unraid setup and i didn´t want go with QNAP-OS Regards Xutho tower-diagnostics-20201008-1310.zip Quote Link to comment
JorgeB Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 The other controller is Asmedia: 01:00.0 SATA controller [0106]: ASMedia Technology Inc. Device [1b21:0625] (rev ff) Kernel modules: ahci But it's failing to initialize: Oct 8 04:03:31 Tower kernel: ahci 0000:01:00.0: controller reset failed (0xffffffff) Oct 8 04:03:31 Tower kernel: ahci: probe of 0000:01:00.0 failed with error -5 According to this booting with pci=noacpi solves the issue, it's probably an unknown controller with Linux. 2 Quote Link to comment

I also have a few qnaps laying around doing nothing and looking for a backup sollution. this might also do it for me Quote Link to comment
bidmead Posted October 12, 2020 Share Posted October 12, 2020 What's the performance penalty for booting without ACPI? I'm also puzzled about the Asmedia controller being unknown to Linux. Isn't Linux the basis of QTS? -- Chris Quote Link to comment

Thank you so much worked like a charm 🥳 Hope you're still here, I'm wanting to use this. Got everything to boot, but when I'm writing from one drive to another without parity, Unraid is having a ton of issues moving files. Max 50MB/s on a 35GB file. Are you having this issue as well?

Hi AshranPewter, no sorry, all is working fine for me just copied a bunch of data: Quote Link to comment
AshranPewter Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 I guess that's about the same as mine, I would expect it to be a bit higher but maybe a limitation of the processor or system. What is this plugin you have above? Maybe I can compare using it. Thanks for the reply! Quote Link to comment

Thats the default config under "stats" --> "system stats" But notice the copy from above is via local network not local when my copy-job is done i will make an additional local one and post it here Quote Link to comment
AshranPewter Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Looks like it's Dynamix System Statistics you're using got it up and running. My speeds look similar, I do have a cpu core at 100% consistently as well. Quote Link to comment

AshranPewter Posted December 7, 2020 Share Posted December 7, 2020 Mine is around 50% right now while moving around 4.5TB and I also have Docker running atm. So not sure if mine would look like that later but on the main dashboard 1 core is consistently at 100% which I'll try to resolve with a reboot when my data is across and parity protected.

AshranPewter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) @Xutho and anyone else that reads this thread later one with questions. pci=noacpi has huge implications on speed in my testing. I was getting a lot of call traces in my logs and was concerned about long term safety of my data. Using pcie_port_pm=off instead is far better per the kernel bug report link from earlier, temps are far better as well for all of my stuff. My processor isn't at 100% on one core consistently and instead of 40MB/s parity checks, I get 190MB/s parity checks. Cheers, Ash Edited December 17, 2020 by AshranPewter 1 Quote Link to comment
Xutho Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 Hi Ashran, strange with pci=noacpi i have following results: Quote Link to comment
AshranPewter Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Ya maybe my bios version is different (mine is SAG5AR21 which you can find with the command 'dmidecode -s bios-version') or the hardware is a different revision? I went through a lot of troubleshooting haha. I even started conversation with QNAP to get a newer bios, though that is still ongoing. J3455 apparently has signal degradation issues over time and fixed with newer bios, down the rabbit hole... Quote Link to comment
Xutho Posted December 17, 2020 Author Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) You´re right my version is: SAG5AR18 I didn´t get an Bios-Update cause Qnap did only install QOS and didn´t provide any Bios-Only updates..... Edited December 17, 2020 by Xutho Quote Link to comment
