Hi. I installed solaris express developer edition (b79) on a supermicro quad-core harpertown E5405 with 8 GB ram and two internal sata-drives. I installed solaris onto one of the internal drives. I added an areca arc-1680 sas-controller and configured it in jbod-mode. I attached an external sas-cabinet with 16 sas-drives 1 TB (931 binary GB). I created a raidz2-pool with ten disks and one spare.

Under Solaris 10 u6 , No matter how I configured my ARECA 1261ML Raid card I got errors on all drives that result from SCSI timeout errors. yoda:~ # tail -f /var/adm/messages Jan 9 11:03:47 yoda.asc.edu scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Requested Block: 239683776 Error Block: 239683776 Jan 9 11:03:47 yoda.asc.edu scsi: [ID 107833 kern.notice] Vendor: Seagate

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

Just as I create a ZFS pool and copy the root partition to it.... the performance seems to be really good then suddenly the system hangs all my sesssions and displays on the console: Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma map got ''no resources'' Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0: dma allocate fail Oct 10 00:23:28 sunrise arcmsr: WARNING: arcmsr0:

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

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've taken the latest 1.20.00.07 kernel driver source as found in

Well, I''ve searched my brains out and I can''t seem to find a reason for this. I''m getting bad to medium performance with my new test storage device. I''ve got 24 1.5T disks with 2 SSDs configured as a zil log device. I''m using the Areca raid controller, the driver being arcmsr. Quad core AMD with 16 gig of RAM OpenSolaris upgraded to snv_134.

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.html#centos

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

Hi world, I have a 10-disk RAID-Z2 system with 4 GB of DDR2 RAM and a 3 GHz Core 2 Duo. It''s exporting ~280 filesystems over NFS to about half a dozen machines. Under some loads (in particular, any attempts to rsync between another machine and this one over SSH), the machine''s load average sometimes goes insane (27+), and it appears to all be in kernel-land (as nothing in

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?re in the process of analyzing. Regardless, we have an ARC1883i, and

I don't believe that is correct. LSI acquired 3ware, and Avago acquired LSI. So, Avago owns the 3ware and LSI technology, but Adaptec and Areca are still competitors. > Whoops, Avago is now Broadcom, a

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 to make it lock up while running that command by

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?

Hello, I have a RAID-6 Partition with the Areca ARC-1231 card on a S5000PAL Intel system with 6 disks as part of the raid volume. The system has been set up as Write-back cache and the raid card has a 2 GIG memory cache on it. It is installed on Freebsd 7.0 STABLE with SCHED_ULE enabled. I have a folder with a lot of small and big files in it that total 3009 files. In the user system we

Yes, and it is worth every dollar it costs. All good RAID cards will be on the same price level. Those cheaper ones I will not let into our stables (don't

I'm setting up a new file server and I just can't seem to get the expected performance from ext3. Unfortunately I'm stuck with ext3 due to my use of Lustre. So I'm hoping you dear readers will send me some tips for increasing ext3 performance. The system is using an Areca hardware raid controller with 5 7200RPM SATA disks. The RAID controller has 128MB of cache and the disks

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 driver and now the
