  1. why would a passive cable matter? oh wait, never mind, that was a stupid question, they probably swap TX/RX being as it is all serial an all... it is Friday, I get a pass on stupid questions on Friday... as for Edgar, glad you got it working... nothing worse that a shiny new box that just sits there an blinks at you while not working... one quick question though, its been about a month, you have had time to "kick the tires" so to speak, how do you actually like this mother board? when I started this thread the plan was to upgrade my old unraid v5 d525 atom based server... I ended up keeping it as a backup and building a new one with a slightly older supermicro board that I got fairly cheap... but now that I am used to V6, every time I need to do something on the old atom D525 v5 server I get the urge to upgrade it... I guess it is true, the urge to upgrade never ends...
  2. well, fixed it... updated unraid to 6.2.4 and everything just magically started working again... but it got rid of my sageTV docker... will it kill my dockers every time I upgrade? that seems rather inconvenient...
  3. I had named my Libvirt folder Libvirt, but thinking maybe that was what conused it, so I renamed the folder "bob" did not seem to help... Nov 9 16:01:10 TowerB emhttp: shcmd (2156): set -o pipefail ; /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/user/VM/bob/' /etc/libvirt 20 |& logger Nov 9 16:01:10 TowerB root: /mnt/user/VM/bob/ is not a file Nov 9 16:01:10 TowerB emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (2156): exit status: 1 but it does make the log message a bit easier to read...
  4. pretty sure I tried that, but just to be sure, and to see if the logs changed, I tried it again... Nov 9 15:53:33 TowerB php: /usr/local/emhttp/plugins/dynamix.vm.manager/scripts/libvirt_rm Nov 9 15:55:12 TowerB emhttp: shcmd (1907): set -o pipefail ; /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/user/VM/Libvirt/' /etc/libvirt 20 |& logger Nov 9 15:55:12 TowerB root: /mnt/user/VM/Libvirt/ is not a file Nov 9 15:55:12 TowerB emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (1907): exit status: 1 still no luck... it is still convinced that it is not a file...
  5. so my crappy OCZ Revo died... and it toke my wonderfully stable and happily working win7 VM with it... and due to a slightly bad backup strategy plan, I need to start from scratch... but I am having a bit of a minor issue with doing that... namely the fact the the VM manger thingy wont start? looking at the syslog, I see this: Nov 8 16:20:05 TowerB emhttp: shcmd (1292): set -o pipefail ; /usr/local/sbin/mount_image '/mnt/user/isos/' /etc/libvirt 20 |& logger Nov 8 16:20:05 TowerB root: /mnt/user/isos/ is not a file Nov 8 16:20:05 TowerB emhttp: shcmd: shcmd (1292): exit status: 1 I am well aware that /mnt/user/isos is not a file... it is obviously a directory... always has been... why would unraid think it was a file? seems nothing I do makes "Status:Stopped" change to "Status:Running" now I am obviously missing something basic here? I remembered this part all just worked the first time around?
  6. just an update... here is what I ended up doing... (aka I mostly followed BobPhoenix suggestion) 2 x Monoprice 107638 2 Port Internal SATA to eSATA Bracket (107638) 4 x Tripp Lite SATA to eSATA Transition Cable (7Pin/7Pin) 3-ft.(P952-003) 1 x Monoprice PCI Power Panel with (3) 5.25 4-Pin Power Connector (102372) 1 x 36" 4 Pin Molex IDE Male to Female Extension Adapter Cable, Black Sleeved 2 x StarTech LP4 to 2x LP4 Power Y Splitter Cable M/F (PYO2L) 1 x ICY DOCK Black Vortex MB074SP-B Removable 3.5" HDD 4 in 3 Module Cooler Cage can't say I am overly impressed with the icy dock. compared to the Supermicro case, it seems like a cheap toy... although I guess if you compare new $ to new $ it is a cheap toy... but that said, it seems to be working... and as it is just a collection of fairly cheap cables/brackets/etc it didn't break the bank...
  7. what I want to do is move my Parity & SageTV recording drives off my SAS back-plane and onto either the motherboard SATA (preferred) or on to their own SAS bus (this would be fine also, just seems every time the word SAS comes up, the cost goes up exponentially) there is no space or power to mount the HDD's in the case, and I would prefer to keep them externally swappable anyway... so an external cage seems the way to go... so anyone know of a cheap 4 drive cage, with its own power that you can run 4 SATA/eSATA cables to? seems all the ones I found want to do port multiplying... from the SAS point of view (well, SAS-2 to be specific), anything cheaper than the SANS DIGITAL TR4X6G?
  8. yea, I looked at the wiki. I mounted the drive in UD, it needed to be formatted (XFS) ran a smart test and it cam back pack perfect, wrote and deleted a couple large files to it, that worked perfectly too... I tried to do a preclear, but it came back as "Drive Busy", which then reminded me, whats up with preclear? it always say drive busy with all my drives, I did a quick search, and tried the preclear gui beta thing, that didn't help either... so anyway, I set the drive back as parity, it rebuilt and seems to be fine now.
  9. there was no smart data... all there is was the "Smartctl open device: /dev/sdh failed: No such device" as for cables, it is a supermicro SAS2 backplane, if it were a cable issue, all drives would be having an issue... as a side note, I seem to be having some issue with the cache drive... basically, I am doing a batch converting of all my VIDEO_TS to MKV (seemed like a good time clean things up a bit, join the modern era, etc... most of my VIDEO_TS VOB's were split up to get past the old XP or WIN95 file size limit, lots of files to keep track of, lots of wasted space...) anyway, it has been running 24/7, seems every once in a while it tries to write to a file while the cache is trying to move that file and it screws stuff up/batch process crashes... wonder if that could also be causing parity unhappiness? towerb-smart-20160722-1725.zip
  10. the diags just say that the drive went off line.... Smartctl open device: /dev/sdh failed: No such device not much to go by...
  11. and how could my parity be valid if the parity drive is off line? and does 140,724,705,158,671 seem like a lot of reads to anyone? version 6.2.0-beta23 if that matters.
  12. that fixed it... should be on the wiki or somewhere to try cirrus... thanks
  13. well, I am not sure its progress, but I now have a new error in the log... 2016-07-06 14:18:52.874+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, qemu version: 2.5.1, hostname: TowerB Domain id=5 is tainted: high-privileges Domain id=5 is tainted: host-cpu char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 (label charserial0) Domain id=5 is tainted: host-cpu who tainted my CPU? and what did they taint it with?
  14. yes, only used ovmf with win10... but I am not a fan of win 10, so other then trying to see if it just worked, I have no real wish to install it... looking at the log thingy, I see a couple "Domain id=3 is tainted: high-privileges" why is it tainted? whats with the high privileges? 2016-07-06 14:06:00.410+0000: starting up libvirt version: 1.3.1, qemu version: 2.5.1, hostname: TowerB LC_ALL=C PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin HOME=/ QEMU_AUDIO_DRV=none /usr/local/sbin/qemu -name CQC-MS -S -machine pc-i440fx-2.5,accel=kvm,usb=off,mem-merge=off -cpu qemu64,hv_time,hv_relaxed,hv_vapic,hv_spinlocks=0x1fff,hv_vendor_id=none -m 3072 -realtime mlock=off -smp 2,sockets=1,cores=2,threads=1 -uuid 58952f1a-3b3a-5873-6fee-cc526a80eb7a -no-user-config -nodefaults -chardev socket,id=charmonitor,path=/var/lib/libvirt/qemu/domain-CQC-MS/monitor.sock,server,nowait -mon chardev=charmonitor,id=monitor,mode=control -rtc base=localtime -no-hpet -no-shutdown -boot strict=on -device ich9-usb-ehci1,id=usb,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7.0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci1,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=0,bus=pci.0,multifunction=on,addr=0x7 -device ich9-usb-uhci2,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=2,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7.0x1 -device ich9-usb-uhci3,masterbus=usb.0,firstport=4,bus=pci.0,addr=0x7.0x2 -device virtio-serial-pci,id=virtio-serial0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x4 -drive file=/mnt/user/isos/windows/win7/en_windows_7_ulti.qemu.guest_agent.0 -device usb-tablet,id=input0 -vnc 0.0.0.0:0,websocket=5700,password -k en-us -device qxl-vga,id=video0,ram_size=67108864,vram_size=67108864,vgamem_mb=16,bus=pci.0,addr=0x2 -device virtio-balloon-pci,id=balloon0,bus=pci.0,addr=0x9 -msg timestamp=on Domain id=3 is tainted: high-privileges char device redirected to /dev/pts/0 (label charserial0) I do only have 2 CPU's selected #6 & #7 pretty sure I have played with both cpu mode passthrough and emulated. but I will try again, just cause... and my min & max memory match.
