Preclear failing. Error: Kernel Panic - not syncing:Fatal exception in interrupt

Hi All,

I am having issues adding a new 3tb wd green drive. In the past few weeks after upgrading to v6, i've been replacing my 2tbs with 4tbs (data rebuild) and so far, all worked fineThis is the first time i have tried adding a new drive after upgrading to version 6

I tried preclearing the drive 4 times with the latest preclear script, also tried clearing it from the main webpage (making the server unavailable) and i get the same error.

I also tried switching the drive from the connection via sata controller port (SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8) to connecting directly to the motherboard but i'm getting the same error

The error occurs around 6% of the 2nd step during preclear, See screenshots below.

Once this happens i can't access the server so i have to shutdown and re-start.

I hope someone can advise what the problem is

Thanks,

T

See SYSTEM LOG in my sig for instructions on saving a syslog while the server is running. Use the telnet-tail method. Disk 5 has a loose or bad SATA cable.

Thanks. I've just swapped the drive to another sata slot and i'll start another preclear session.

I'll also run tail -f /var/log/syslog once preclear starts

Same error after 9%.

This time the preclear stopped at 3% of Step 2 of 10 - Copying zeros to remainder of disk to clear it and when i take a look at the info from server, i can see the same error message "Kernel Panic - not syncing:Fatal exception in interrupt"on the server. 

Had shutdown again and restart

tail syslog running but not sure it captured anything interesting

UPDATE

Just in case anyone is interested, i decided to go back to unRAIDServer-5.0.5-i386 and preclear script worked.

The 3TB drive was precleared without any issues.

Do you have the latest script?

Hey dgaschk,

Yes i was using the latest script from here:

http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2817.0

Used the same script on v5 and it worked.

Don't think i need any of the fancy stuff on v6 TBH so i might still to v5 for now
