unRAID Server Release 5.0-beta10 Available


Recommended Posts

Okay having a really odd issue....

 

I just precleared (5) new hard drives.  I have (4) slots open in my unRAID.  What I planned on doing was bringing 4 of the 5 online to completely fill my unRAID server.  (1) drive is a 2TB Hitachi Coolspin, (4) are the Samsung green 2tb drives.  Problem is, I can't choose the Hitachi whatsoever in the GUI.  unRAID sees it because it's in unMENU and I can test it with preclear.

So a few things I was thinking....

 

Do you think that unRAID just sees that I have only (4) slots left and automatically chooses the first (4) drives?  (this hitachi is technically the last device /dev/sdx)  If so, why am I unable to replace one of my 1TB drives with it?  Would I have to assign these (4) Samsungs first and then restart and then be able to replace my 1TB with this 2TB hitachi?  

 

Second thought was, and I know from a prior post it shouldn't matter, but this Hitach drive is NOT a 4k AF drive but preclear set it up as one based on my preference in the the web gui.  You think that has anything to do with it?  Again, I highly doubt it, but just throwing that out there.  Hope someone can help me!

 

EDIT

Had 2 ideas...maybe it was Simple Features?  Nope.  Happens in default web gui.  I also brought 3 of the Samsung drives online thinking that maybe it'd let me chose the Hitachi?  Nope that didn't work either :(

#1.  post a syslog.

#2. What license do you have?

 

The 4k alignment is perfectly fine for any drive. That is not the issue.  You might be discovering a bug nobody else has since you are adding so many disks at the same time, but since you did not include a syslog, no way to tell.

I have a pro license, the $119 one.

 

Syslog attached.  Thx!  (please read my edit above, hope I didn't screw up the process by bringing 3 of the 4 online)

 

Damn syslog wouldn't upload, it's here tho:

Looks like I found the issue!

I

ve never seen that message before.

 

Maybe I should feel honored to have found something no one else found! 

 

So good news (sort of).  I pulled the last (unassigned) SAMSUNG drive from the Norco and left the hitachi in there.  I'm now able to assign the Hitachi

So I'm surmising that maybe my first theory was true.  It sees (4) slots left in your unRAID and chooses the first four drives it finds.  Not sure it's a major bug - I'm an edgecase.  I had all of these drives left over from two FreeNAS's.  Something to keep in mind tho.

I just had a 1.5tb drive get disabled due to a write fail, so I unmounted it and rebooted to try and remount it making it think its a new disk and recover data. Instead it showed the drive as 2tb and now says replace drive with a larger drive. Anything I can do but buy a new 2tb to put in its place?

After restarting the server I copied two files over to it. As expected write counters of both "parity" disk and selected disk increment, but I noticed a huge difference in counter values (see picture below).

Is this normal behavior? I would expect both counters to be more or less the same.

Not necessarily!

 

If a bit doesn't need updating then that means no write!

 

So seems fine to me.

It is normal.  They use differing buffering schemes.  The data disks end up being buffered by the file-system buffers, so they have less (but probably larger) writes.

I ran this script from Nezil to get rid of all my db files:

 

/etc/rc.d/rc.atalk stop
cd /mnt
find disk*/ -name .AppleD* -exec rm -r {} \;

 

That fixed it for me.  It should recreate them after that.  The other thing I did was follow Nezil's instructions a few pages back to edit the default location.  Been working a lot better since then.

I believe that the circumstances I encountered the other night represents a problem in unRAID, but I'm not sure whether it applies only to current betas.

 

I first reported it in this thread.

 

I left the machine doing a non-correcting parity check during which there was a power cut.  At the time I left it, everything was proceeding perfectly normally and there were no errors being reported.  For reasons which are not important, apcupsd was not active, so the machine experienced the power cut when the ups battery expired.

 

When power was restored, and the system restarted, it appears that it began performing a correcting parity check.  At some point during this sequence of events, a data drive failed, and unRAID/unMENU was reporting "Parity updated 67 times to address sync errors".  Now, if parity was being updated because one of the data drives had failed, this would seem to be a serious problem, almost certainly resulting in corruption/loss of data when a drive replacement/recovery is performed.

 

I would be much happier if I knew that a correcting parity check could only be initiated as a deliberate choice by the user.  It would also be much more secure if any corrections were suspended immediately any drive error occurs.

I did not have any problems running beta 10 (apart from something odd)

 

Regarding the slow speed reported by many:

 

I recently performed "swap-disable" - replaced the old 2TB WD EARS parity disk with precleared 3TB Hitachi Green and then in the same shot used the older parity disk to upgrade 1TB Hitachi data disk.

Results:

This is 10 disk system (6 on the MB SATA and 4 on an M1015 card in PCIe x8 port). Unfortunately I do not recall the speed of the previous checks...

I don't know if i'm the only one having the issue but when I set my timezone to +8 for Perth Australia and then set ntp time when the server is rebooted it writes the time back to the bios as UTC time which is my time -8, what then happens is the server boots, starts up with the UTC time that is now in bios then ntp gets the correct time 8 hours ahead and all my disk spin down straight away. 

 

The ony way I have been able to get consistant time is the set UTC timezone and turn off ntp.

Still running Beta 10 as it has been pretty solid for me. Waiting for the rest of the beta's to work out their bugs. :)

 

My server has been fine for months - then suddenly tonight it powered itself down. Not sure why - no alerts due to power failure (and there was not one, I am at home). Just shut itself down. Can someone review the log for me and see if they can see why? Log is large - but the powerdown was tonight, Jan 15, 23:00 - just after that.

 

Thx,

Shawn

No indication as to why but, at 23:06:01, someone, or something, invoked Powerdown!

 

Jan 15 18:47:06 Tower sSMTP[13646]: Sent mail for root@ (221 2.0.0 closing connection q40sm44697382anh.18) uid=0 username=root outbytes=1892
Jan 15 23:06:01 Tower logger: Powerdown initiated
Jan 15 23:06:01 Tower rc.unRAID[4589]: Stopping unRAID.

 

The rest of the log messages are the normally system status logging which occurs on every controlled powerdown.

 

Thie powerdown could have been invoked from a remote connection, but there is no evidence of a remote connection being established, the command being typed on a directly attached keyboard, or a short press on the power button.

Exactly my thoughts - I was just wondering if I had missed something. That server sits in the crawl space and I know no one hit the power button and I was not connected to it, via telnet or web. The weird thing, it was a controller powerdown, so no parity check when it booted up. Baffling. :)
