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

Hi Valeri, Before you pull a drive you should check to make sure that doing so won't kill the whole array. MegaCli can help you prevent a storage disaster and can let you have more insight into your RAID and the status of the virtual disks and the disks than make up each array. MegaCli will let you see the health and status of each drive. Does it have media errors, is it in predictive

Sorry Valeri, that only works if you're the only guy in the org. In reality, you cannot

Hi, Does anyone have experiences about ARC-1883I SAS controller with CentOS7? I am planning to have RAID1 setup and I am wondering if I should use the controller's RAID functionality which has 2GB cache or should I go with JBOD + Linux software RAID? The disks I am going to use are 6TB Seagate Enterprise ST6000NM0034 7200rpm SAS/12Gbit 128 MB If hardware RAID is preferred, the

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. 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
