Hi. I'm looking at deploying a freebsd 7-release server with some storage attached to an areca ARC-1680 controller. But this card is not mentioned in 'man 4 arcmsr' (http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi?query=arcmsr&sektion=4&manpath=FreeBSD+7.0-RELEASE). Areaca's website does mention freebsd as a supported OS (http://www.areca.com.tw/products/pcietosas1680series.htm). Has...

Two weeks ago I (clean-)installed CentOS 6.2 on a server which had been running 5.7. There is a 16 disk = ~11 TB data volume running on an Areca ARC-1280 raid card with LVM + xfs filesystem on it. The included arcmsr driver module is loaded. At first it seemed ok, but with in a few hours I started getting I/O error message on directory listings, and then a bit later when I did a vgdisplay command there was garbage in that. I then ran the...

I must be doing something horribly wrong and I hope somebody can help. The Areca arc-1224 is not supported by the Areca driver included driver in 7.1 so I have to supply that when starting the install. Documentation provided by Areca and in the Red Hat install guide say the same thing, put the driver on an accessible medium then append inst.dd on the boot command, choose the dr...

Hi, To follow up my CentOS 4.0/Areca SATA RAID driver disk I created a month or two ago, I have now created kernel-module-arcmsr RPMs containing just the kernel module to track the kernel updates. This means: a) No need to patch, rebuild and maintain customised kernels for Areca support b) Keep everything maintained with RPM I'v...

Hi, is the areca 1100 Raid Controller supported by CentOS 5? Or is there a kmod rpm available? Thanks Juergen

...Windows machines sooner or later with 10Gbit interfaces. We are seeing 100-150MBytes/sec read or write performance between the Mac and the FC13 system over 10Gbit interface but it should be capable of 400-500MBytes/sec. We have a local raid on the FC13 system that runs 1GByte/sec locally using an Areca 1880-ix-16 raid card (6Gbit version). It has 16 fast Hitachi disks in a Raid5 format using xfs filesystem. The problem here is that samba is poking the Areca at 128KByte I/O's on preads and writes, i.e. shown to us using strace on the smbd daemons that are running. Using vmstat/iostat/sar uti...

Running C6 fileserver. Want to replace 7 year old HDs connected to an Areca ARC-1220 raid sata II (3Gb/s) controller. Has anyone used this controller with newer 2TB SATA III (6Gb/s) WD Re drives like the WD2000FYYZ or the WD2004FBYZ?

Has anyone experienced any problems with Areca raid cards specifically the 1220 causing kernels to lock up? We are running 2.6.18-92.1.22.el5xen on 64bit. We have "areca_cli rsf info" run once an hour from cron to check for raid raid issues. Having this running seems to cause the box to lock up. Whats weird is I can't seem...

Hi, To satisfy my own requirements, I''ve created a driver disk for the Areca SATA RAID controllers[0]. It currently contains the 1.20.00.06 driver built for the x86_64 SMP and non-SMP kernels, but should be fairly straightforward to add the driver built for 32-bit x86 kernels as well. You can find the driver disk and instructions here: http://www.bodgit-n-scarper.com/code...

Just wondering if anyone has seen performance tests on Areca SATA controllers? How good are they compared to LSI "X" series and 3ware 9500s? And last but not least, are the drivers included in the stock kernel? Regards, Harald -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Is anyone running any Areca RAID controllers with the latest CentOS 7 kernel, 3.10.0-693.2.2.el7.x86_64? We recently updated (from 3.10.0-514.26.2.el7.x86_64), and we?ve started having lots of problems. To add to the confusion, there?s also a hardware problem (either with the controller or the backplane most likely) that we...

I am trying to run a new server with centos + xen using centos xen packages. After installation, we had to install a hardware raid card (areca) on the machine, and thus reload the os. It so happens the drivers shipped aren''t compatible with xen kernel, so i was forced to compile xen from source to compile areca drivers. Now with system running under compiled xen, i cannot boot my old domU image :( Here is the error i get xm cr...

On the system where I'm doing the install, I used dd to read the entire DVD and also copied every .rpm to /dev/null and didn't get any I/O errors. What next?
