NASLite Network Attached Storage

And the journey goes on.....

I rebooted back into the Adaptec BIOS, initialized each drive separately, and created individual drives (i.e. 2 single arrays of 931GB per drive).

Rebooted machine, and once NASLite M2 booted, I can now see both the drives as Disk-0, Disk-1 and Disk-2 (Sony Pen drive, 1.9GB). Did the formatting inside NASLite+ and promptly Exported Disk-0 and Disk-1, and rebooted machine.

Once everything is loaded and NAS is ready, I copied from my client machine, and the speeds are the same. Around 25mins for a 4.39GB file, i.e 3MB/sec.

I also logged into console while doing this transfer and checked the CURRENT NETWORK STATs:

[ NASLite-2 ] - Administration Utility - NASLite-M2 v1.02 03-2009


CURRENT NETWORK TRAFFIC

Sampling ...

14730 packets sampled in 5 seconds
Traffic average for eth0

rx 3322.80 kB/s 2279 packets/s
tx 43.57 kB/s 666 packets/s


So it does look like things has not improved. It's the same, btw, if I copy to Disk-0 or Disk-1.

Here are the Syslogs:

So looks like nothing has been solved. I will try looking around for a PATA drive tomorrow and see if I can mount one inside this machine, and format/export it on NASLite.

Frankly, have wasted 4 nights doing this, and starting to lose patience. Might not be such a simple practise from the likes of it, eventhough the hardware are in the list, it still may not work.

Would appreciate your comments, NASLite gurus... Thanks!

Yes, when it was not formatted inside the Adaptec BIOS, NASLite M2 couldn't find the drives. If you look at the second log, I formatted the drives individually inside the Adaptec BIOS, and only then NasLite would see it.

However, the speeds are the same and nothing seem to have improved.

BTW, the drive names are BinMediaA and BinMediaB , both of which are visible in the Syslogs.

Ralph, can you comment on this?

Thanks.

Looking at the syslog you provided, my first guess is that the NASLite kernel has issues with the existing BIOS DSDT table. There is a small number of ACPI implementations that have problems with Linux especially the 2.4 kernel used in the current release of NASLite. The following syslog entries provide sufficient evidence:

Jun 19 01:48:51 [4] ACPI-1133: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.PCI0.MDET] (Node dfbb0aa0), AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT
Jun 19 01:48:51 [4] ACPI-1133: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.MEM_._CRS] (Node dfbad960), AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT
Jun 19 01:48:51 [4] ACPI-0154: *** Error: Method execution failed [\_SB_.MEM_._CRS] (Node dfbad960), AE_AML_REGION_LIMIT

The problem is that when using ACPI to manage IRQ allocation, such incompatibilities often impact performance and can potentially completely prevent NASLite from running. In such cases, the accepted corrective approach is to produce a custom kernel by patching the DSDT table at runtime to allow proper handling. Although that is not an option in this case, some info is available here: http://www.lesswatts.org/projects/acpi/ ... ngDSDT.php

One thing I'd recommend is to completely disable ACPI in the BIOS. I'm not sure if you have tried that, but that should remove the DSDT table from the equation. Alternately, you can modify the boot time parameters by adding noapic in order to disable kernel support for ACPI control of the IRQ resources.

The next releases of NASLite-2 and M2 will be based on the new CORE3 which is designed around the latest 2.6.30 kernel and will resolve a host of issues brought about by newer, more capable hardware.

Hope that helps...

Lets be truthful here, you bought NASLite yesterday. Mixing in erroneous claims will only make the process of helping you that much longer.

LOL

Now now Ralph, lets see if we can't get this guy through this with as few ruffled feathers as we can.

There is the fact that the hardware just don't want to play nice together and he may end up having to find a different MB to make it all gel.

Mike

Wow! Interesting way of assisting your customer. Please do not accuse me of lying. What reason or benefit do I have to lie, when I need the developers and others in the community to assist in solving the problem?

You might not have read my many posts, but what I mean was that I was using FreeNAS, and then UnRaid and then your NASLite M2 product. This process of turning my computer into a NAS has wasted me 4 nights, no, no, let's make it 5, adding tonight.

I tell you what, since the current NASLite M2 code does not allow it to be compatible with my Adaptec RAID 2410SA (eventhough it's listed on your HW list), why don't you just provide me a refund, cancel my license, and we call it quits.

I do not want to waste anyone's time with my puny little questions, albeit, I am not very technical in the area of compiling or using linux.

I must say that I appreciate the forum, and your suggestions, especially Tony and Mike, but I take offense on someone calling me a liar. I started this project thinking I would learn something and seeing if I can participate in a community effort like this. Although I am not technical, I certainly would do my best to give feedback as well as any findings, especially in the Adaptec card area, where it seem to have quite a few questions, but very little answers.

Unfortunately, I won't be in a position to buy new hardware to make this work, but since this NASLite does not work, perhaps I can just have my refund and close this case.

I would have tested it with a demo version first, prior to purchasing if I had the chance, but I didn't come across any demo unit on your web page, thus I took the chance in good faith and bought the most expensive version you have to ensure it didn't leave out any features.

I will try one last attempt to locate ACPI in my BIOS and see if it can be disabled. If there is such a thing, I will do so, and promptly test it again and post the results here.

If the efforts are in vain, at the very least I would kindly request a courtesy refund since we can't make this work. Once Core3 version is out, I may try it again, if there is a demo version to save everyone time from answering my questions.

Thanks.

Ok,

I tried looking at the PC BIOS (at Power ON, press F2), but looks like the only ACPI setting (under Power settings) I can find has two options, called S1 and S3. It was set to S1, and i moved it to S3, saved, and then rebooted the machine.

Unfortunately, same results, and still has the same errors in the Syslog:

Tony/Mike, can you confirm if there is nothing else I can do, and the only way is for me to change hardware (not an option for me), or wait and pray that the core3 will work?

I am not technical or proficient in linux or compiling or adding things to the software, unless it's with a step by step guide which I can follow and enter.

Do let me know if there is anything else you would like me to try.

Thanks.

I'm just stating the facts.

beenthere,

The S_ states are sleep states and changing those does not disable ACPI but but rather modifies it's behavior. What is the board that you are using? Alternately, you may have to use noapic at boot time.

To do so, connect the USB boot drive to a windows or mac machine, open syslinux.cfg and add noapic to the "APPEND" parameters using a text editor.

Are you *really* so sure that NASLite-M2 does not work with the 2410SA? Since the driver is the same for the 2410SA and the 21610SA I would contend that "it" ("it" being the Adaptec 2X10SA range of SATA RAID cards) work in *at least* 50% of cases.

This is really strange, I've never seen Vendor: info, report a "Drive Name" in there before, only a card model number and the revision.
This information is reported by the driver when it finds the card on boot.

And then later in the boot Linux attempts to identify the hard disk attached to the card, ie:




Here's NickC's showing the model number.

My arrays are named 1375-R5 and 1760-R5 (for clarity for me).

Ok good to know, so some cards report the logical drive array name under the model information.

This is returned when a SCSI INQUIRY command is passed to the card.


Thanks.

Well, me too. Anyways, it's a waste of time and space to argue like this, let's put this pass us.

Yes, BinMedia1 and BinMedia2 are Disk-0 and Disk-1 respectively. These disks were formatted inside the Adaptec RAID 2410SA BIOS, as standalone volumes, i.e. not RAIDED. Each were 931GB.

If I were to RAID0 both drives in the Adaptec BIOS, then only one volumes were shown i.e BinMedia, at 1.8TB.

If I do not initialize the drives inside the Adaptec BIOS, then nothing will be seen by NASLite.

Hope this clarifies.
