NASLite Network Attached Storage

This is a Mirror/Rsync issue.

I bought and installed a SATA 500Gb hard drive, to mirror my RAID 1 (the same brand and size hard drives are connected to a 3Ware 8006-2LP controller).

I installed the drive, formatted the drive. It mounted fine as Disk-0.

I switched off S.M.A.R.T (I read that there were some hickups when using Rsync) Then I set the parameters for the mirror: /Disk-2/17, meaning source disk Disk-2 @ 5 PM. The mirroring started at 5 PM. When I got up at 5 AM (twelve hours later), NASLite was still working. What it was doing, no darn clue. Telnet and HTTP were gone. No way to login locally. Even the power button did not respond. Eventually I just flipped the main switch to stop this erratic behavior.

This is the mirror log:
2008/03/19 17:00:01 [1675] receiving file list
2008/03/19 17:00:18 [1675] .d..t.... ./
2008/03/19 17:00:18 [1675] .d..t.... Backup Vaio/
2008/03/20 01:18:22 [1675] >f+++++++ Backup Vaio/160308.tib

Hardly any data are mirrored.
Of course NASLite had to check the filesystem of Disk-0. I reset the mirror to < NONE > Everything works fine again.

Is there anybody who can shed light on this issue?

Thanks a lot.

That usually means bad drive, bad cable, bad connection or anything else that may be hindering the transfer of data to the drive. I suggest you turn on SMART and examine the drive's stats. Also check all connections to make sure everything is set properly. At any rate, the problem is hardware related and needs to be dealt with prior to committing data to the server.

Hope that helps...

Thank you, Tony. That makes sense. Drive's OK, as is the cable. SMART does not see anything. But I remember the installation of NASLite. In order to get the CD drive going, I had to change a setting in the MoBo BIOS. Was it 'legacy' in relation to SATA? Could that be the reason why a healthy SATA drive is doing weird things?

This is what you wrote a few months ago, when my sata dvd-rom woundn't mount:



After I changed the BIOS settings for the drives from 'Enhanced' to 'Legacy' everything went fine, then.

But now, with the new sata hard drive, the 'Legacy' setting caused serious problems.

Today, I changed the MoBo BIOS settings back to 'Enhaced', reformatted the new drive, mounted the drive (no S.M.A.R.T) and mirrored beautifully the RAID 1 array.

Thanks again.

Access to the SATA CD-ROM was necessary only for installation. Now that you are booting from a hard drive, the legacy setting is no longer required since access to the CD is not necessary.

Glad you are back up and running...
