Raid 0 Error
Replies: 23 | Post Date: 11-27-2007, 06:53 AM | User: Ex Reven | Forums: forums.techpowerup.comOn bootup, when the list of bootable devices flashes on screen, one of my hard drives (part of a two disk raid 0) has "error" next to it. What could be the problem? It cant be too serious, considering that my computer is still running perfectly. Does anyone have any ideas of possible issues/solutions? Any hard drive diagnostic software i can try?

Strange Raid 0 Error
While hot swapping one archive drive for another, the intel matrix storage console said that an error occurred and to back up my data from the raid 0 array. I'm guessing the raid portion of the controller doesn't take kindly to drive swapping or i bumped the sata/power line. Ich10r
Ports 0-1 are the raid 0. The hot swapping occurred on port 2. The os boots fine, chkdsk seen nothing wrong and volume verification returned zero errors. So i set the second drive in the array back to normal.

An Error Occurred(0) On Raid Controller
I have an evga x58 motherboard and have two wd caviar blacks set up in raid 0 as my boot drive, running windows 7 rc. They're connected to the intel 1ch10r raid controller. So i'm booting up and getting "an error occurred(0)" on one of the drives on the boot-up status screen. Man, i just love these obscure and totally unhelpful error messages. So an error occurred; that's nice. What the *** do i do about it?
After some searching, i found intel matrix storage manager software available for download on intel's site. There's supposed to be an option in the software to check the drives and "mark as normal. " There is a version of storage manager that supports vista 64, so i figure maybe it's good for win7 also. However, when i start to install it, i get a warning screen that says that after installing its drivers, they cannot be un-installed. Well, isn't that special. What if those drivers it installs are not what i need, and totally bork my system?
So here i sit, paralyzed as to what action to take next. I frickin' hate technology sometimes. Anybody know what to do about this particular problem?

Chkdsk Unknown Error Raid Volume
@ raid 6 volume on areca 1222 controller: i have some files and directories i can't delete, move because they are corrupted. I asked windows to perform a full check on this storage volume but it always ends with "unknown error" after having supposedly found and deleted some orphan files. What are my options? I have an ass load of large files on this array and no extra space to move and rebuild. Side note:- i know everyone can have different experiences but i will not forgive seagate for the 1. 5 tb hdds fiasco. Cursed be the day i decided to go with these drives for my array. I've had 4 of them spaz-out or die on me with different controllers, pcs.

Raid 6 + 2 Failed Drives + Read Error On One Drive
Well just as the title says, i have a server with an areca 1280ml and 14 x 1. 5 tb seagate hard drives. I recently suffered the simultaneous loss of 2 drives followed by one hard drive giving read errors. As a result, rebuilding the array is impossible.could anyone give me any suggestions to recover the array?
Should i contact a data recovery company to fix that hard drive and proceed with a rebuild?

Western Digital Time Limited Error Recovery (tler) With Raid
Just wanted to write up my experiences with my raid problems. I have four of the western digital caviar se16 500 gb wd5000aaks 16 mb sata-ii 300 mb/s hard drive models. Previously i had them configured in a 2. 0 tb (1. 5 tb usable) array on my silicon image 3114 pci sata-i 150 mb/s raid 0, 1, 5 onboard controller with firmware 5. 4. 03. One day i lost came home to find that 3 drivers dropped out of the array and only 1 drive was left and that the array was destroyed. Luckily the array was used mostly for archive storage for videos that i routinely backed up to dvd's so i didn't lose any data. (I presume that only the one drive that was left in the array was the cause of the problem, timing out too long while doing error recovery on a bad sector, that actually caused the other 3 drives from being dropped, instead of vice versa as it should have happened. )
None of the utilities that silicon image provides were able to restore the array from the other 3 drives, even though the drives that dropped should have been able to be brought online as an array and the single drive left in the array should have been able to be brought back in and rebuilt. I e-mailed the vendor with a complete case report and all details but nobody responded. An understandable experience with a second-rate foreign vendor that mostly supplies motherboard manufacturers with crappy software raid chips. (The array while it was operational for many months was dog slow because it was software raid5 and the parity calculations were interrupting the cpu constantly on every write making my system slow and unresponsive any time i would perform any extended writes to the array. Learned my lesson to never use silicon image pci based software raid5 and recommend against these chips now to everyone. )
After that experience i took my drives off the cheap silicon image controller and made a nvidia raid1 (mirror) array with 2 x 500 gb and then took the other two drives to be used for external storage for on-site and off-site storage drives. A few months back i came back home to find that one of the drives in the new array with an error status. After rebooting the system and re-adding the drive to the array everything worked fine without any errors. Last week the same thing happened again and the drive dropped from the array again. I re-added it and no errors were found and the array is running again. Read more at the forum.

Hardware Raid Vs Software Raid / Redhat Enterprise Linux
I am about to spend $10, 000+ on some new ibm server equipment. I am trying to decide if i should use the hardware raid controller or the software raid controller built into redhat enterprise linux. Any suggestions?

Do I Need Raid Enabled Drives For Software / Firmware Raid ?
First off, i am completely aware of the fact that you need a re drive with tler enabled for correct hardware raid. My question though is tler needed for software (windows and linux) or firmware (onboard or fakeraid) raid setups? Will these implementations drop a hdd if it spends too much time correcting a read/write error?
In a single drive scenario, the drive will attempt to read/write the same sector for up to 60 seconds and then remap it if possible. In a hardware raid scenario, the controller will tell the failed drive to remap to a new sector with data from a good redundant drive (raid 0 not apply here). My second question is if indeed you do need a tler enabled drive because the controller will drop the hdd, then what will handle read/write errors? Will these software/firmware raid controllers do the same error recovery?
If there is no error recovery, it would seem that software/firmware raid are just bad news. This is esp true for firmware raid which would seem to have all the downsides of the other controller types and none of the benefits. Third question deals with ssds. Are there only certain ones qualified for raid and 24x7 usage? I have not seen a distinction like i have with hdds. Also, are these going to work properly in a raid 5, as the controller will want to try and fix any errors like they are hdds, yet the ssds have very good internal error correction.

Hardware Raid Card To Replace Mirrored Sw Raid ?
Looking for a sata hardware raid card that does mirroring ( i don't need anything more at this point ). Advice? Long story short, the on-board intel software raid was throwing errors under windows xp. I pulled each drive and used the manufacturer's drive test utility. Each passed with flying colors. ( I got the same errors with either drive in the machine, which is why i think the sw raid is the problem )
When i went to rebuild the set, the machine blue-screened shortly after the rebuild started. I broke the raid and tried to boot from either drive, but no luck. I tried to make a new raid, but the drivers for the raid controller do not come with windows. The machine has no floppy drive and no *connector* for a floppy drive, and i had no slipstreamed install disk, so i figured i was out of luck for the raid. I disabled the raid settings and installed straight to the hard drive. I'm looking for a hardware raid card to avoid these issues. I don't want to slipstream or floppy a driver in case i need to install. And i don't want windows mucking around with my raid in case it's rebuilding. Will hardware raid allow me to avoid these issues?

Hardware Raid Vs Software Raid
I'm specing out a new server and am exploring the differences between hardware and software raid 1 configurations. I'll be running an intel xeon processor or an intel pentium 4. What type of speed and reliability considerations are involoved?

Raid 10 Or Raid 1 And Which Drives - For Storage
I am currently building my storage server and need some help with my decisions. I would like to get some 2tb drives in a raid array. I have narrowed down my choices to either a raid 10 array using 4 drives, or just a basic raid 1 with 2 drives plus a hot spare for a 3 drive array. Both would give me 4tb of space, and while raid 10 may not give me a big enough performance gain to warrent the price of a fouth drive it does give me the potential to loose 2 drives without data loss. This will be for streaming large (~5-10gb) files across an internal gigabit network. The questions i pose for the masses:
Which-
1) array do you think will work best for my situation, and causes me the least amount of issues? I am not worried about the price of a fourth drive, that is not the concern with raid 1, its ease of use. 2) drives do you guys recommend? I am talking sata desktop class drives, and i have heard nothing but bad things about wd green drives when put in an array. I think both of my raid choices are fairly basic, but i do want to want rebuild array on a regular basis due to drop outs or other crazyness. 3) raid controller card do you recommend? I do not need full harware raid, nor do i want the price tag of one. The server will not get beat up that bad to worry about the cpu tax from an economy level controller.

Error: Stop: C000021a Fatal System Error
It was working fine yesterday. But then i started my comp and i saw the motherboard logo. Then usual testing. Then the windows logo. But right before it was ready to go to logon screen it shows the blue screen with some fatal error:
Stop: c000021a {fatal system error}the session manager initialization system process terminated unexpectedly with a system status 0xc000026c, i thought itwas the virus i got few days ago. I put different harddrives in different os's but nothing works. Even trying to restore stops. Everything stops with some fatal error. Now i'm pretty sure it's the hardware. But how do i know which part it is. I mean more likely it's the video card. Cause i overclocked it, but how do i find out for sure what's causing the problem
Is it even hardware? I'm completely clueless. Please help. My stupid windows xp doesnt start on other comps. I'm pretty sure it works just doesnt like hardware. But it contains a lot of information i cant delete.

Error: Stop: 0x0000007e - Windows Loading Error
I have encountered a problem when installing windows xp on a bare system. It starts up fine, then loads into the windows blue screen, checking for hardware configuration, but then upon windows startup, it stops and announces an error. Stop: 0x0000007e (0xc0000005, 0x80840a02, 0xf78d205c, 0xf78d1d58). Any advice as to what to do would be helpful, i believe the problem to be either having the cpu been installed (physically) but no drivers yet in place or something to do with the hdd configuration.

Installing A Raid
I'm having trouble installing a raid and i've never done it before. I recently got an older computer from someone and it had a raid card inside, and the card should still work fine. I've got this other computer of mine which has 3 internal hard disks and a cd-rom - this takes up the 4 different devices i can connect with the ide cables. I'd like to add another hard disk using this raid. I put the raid into one of the free pci slots. I got another ide cable, connected it from the raid to the hard disk (the one i just added), and i connected a legacy cable to the hard disk. I rebooted the computer, not expecting, but hoping everything would work out fine. Well, it didn't. I get a message on the screen. It starts off by saying "managed pc boot agent (mba) v3. 20". It then has under that the brief copyright info, and then the useful information which i don't yet know how to solve. Node: 005004d32c62
Dhcp. Tftp. File transfer error: file not found
Error: network boot aborted. Press a key to continue. Pressing a key simply restarts this process and after about 2 or 3 tries i get the screen with the "operating system not found" message. I'm assuming that when i installed the raid, it did something which caused the hard disks to not be read? Boot from network is the first option if no hard disks are found, and it did try to boot from network and failed (which is normal). I'll continue to work at this (tomorrow, sleeping in a bit) and will make any necessary updates to this thread. In the meantime, any ideas?
Update: i solved the problem. I simply switched the boot order of a few things in bios and it works fine now. I just need the drivers for the device now, win2k can't seem to locate, i'll see if they can be found on my winxp disc, if not i'll check manufacturers site.

Raid Question
Just a quick opinion kinda thing. Would i get better performance running dual 160 gigs with 8 meg buffers (striping) or just one 300 gig with a 16 meg buffer?

Raid Configuration
I'm in the process of picking out parts for a home lan file server. I was thinking of getting cost effective basic parts (unix file server btw) and going out on the drives. I want like 150~200gb of storage, but i was considering a raid config to escape a drive failure catastrophe. Possibilities i was just pondering. 1. 2 raid 1's: 4 80gb drives, where two main drives are mirrored independently. 2. Raid 1: (2) 160gb drives, 1 main and 1 mirror. 3. Raid 1+0 -aka- raid 10 ? Is it me or do the mobo's at newegg not have these?
Also, if i go raid, sata raid or pata raid? Opinions wanted. Any other information involving storage/raid would be appreciated.

Need Raid Advice
I have 2 320gb seagate 7200. 10 drives. I bought another motherboard and come to find out it only will raid 1 internal and 1 external. I should have read the specs more closely, it still doesn't make any sense to me. I just need to know what raid controller to use to make it work. I don't know much about raid so i don't want to buy an expensive pci raid controller if i don't have to, i just need one to work for 2 internal sata drives. I want to run raid 0. Can someone point me in the right direction?

How To Tell If A Drive Is Being Used In Raid ?
At work we have a server that was setup before i started working here. My dad claims that it is using raid (whichever one is mirroring, gah, can't remember right now). It has two 160 gb drives. He believes that it was setup by whoever he had set it up to mirror the drives. I am not so sure. The second drive does not show up in the operating system at all. When i go into compmgmt. Msc and the storage management, it looks just like a plain, new, blank drive. Nothing on it, not even a partition. I don't have any experience with raid arrays, so i just need to know if this drive could actually be being used, or am i correct in thinking that it's just a blank drive just sitting there doing nothing? I'm pretty sure it's not being used. But i'd rather ask someone knowledgeable than mess something up. Yes, it's probably a stupid question, but i'm just covering my own ass.

Raid 0+1 With Three Drives
Shortly, i'm going to have an extra 1tb drive. Currently, my desktop has a raid-1 of two 500gb drives (specs in profile). Does anyone know if it is possible to do a setup where the two 500gb drives would function as a raid-0 stripe, and the 1tb drive could mirror the stripe? If anyone has any information, i'd appreciate it.

Raid 5 With None 24/7 Drives
I simply have nothing but trouble trying to get opensolaris working with my hardware so iam tempted to just go hardware raid5 with my lsi 8 port controller and my 1tb wd gp drives but is it very unsafe to do without raid drives rated for 24/7 usages? I would start with 7 drives but would add another in a short time so all my 8 ports are filled.

Best Way To Configure Raid 1
I'm going to be using a 3 drive setup for my new computer. Currently the vraptor will be used as a boot drive and in the future a ssd. I decided to use a dual drive raid 1 setup to guard against the loss of my important data. I intend to use the onboard intel raid controller. I'm assuming this isn't true hardware raid, but it's the best that i can do for now. The two hard drives are the hitach 2tb 7200 rpm drives. I'm just wondering how do i setup raid 1 on the gigabyte p55-a ud3p motherboard?
Often i read that raid 1 is slow, but is it slower than a single drive when it comes to read and write speeds? What's the best way to configure a raid 1 setup? Are there any negatives for using the onboard controller for raid instead of buying a dedicated raid card like say from highpoint or arreca?

Did I Mess Up Raid 10 Setup ?
This is my first raid setup and i've been struggling to get it setup correctly. Here is what i did (this round):
1. Setup the bios for raid
2. Installed intel raid drivers during vista installation
3. Created a partition on each drive
4. Installed vista on the drive in spot 0
5. Used intel raid matrix to create a raid volume (raid 10) from an existing hard drive
6. Added the remaining 3 drives to the volume during installation
Intel raid matrix sees the raid and thinks everythings fine. On the other hand, when i view the properties of the drive in windows, it is showing up as having 500 gb free w/ 500 gb used (its a 2tb raid). I'm guessing i screwed something up during the installation? Any help would be extremely appreciated as i've been struggling with this for the past day or two.

Scsi Raid Questions
Ok. Here is the plan: im thinking about getting a raid card with maybe 3-4 scsi or ide hard drives to raid0, i want to boot to raid using only windows98se, i also want to be able to add ide drives to the regular motherboard slots. So, 1. Are there any problems with this?
2. Can i put one drive on the raid card seperate from the combined drives?
3. It sounds like a raid0 is real antsy. Is it more prone to data loss than a regular hard drive?
4. Do i need to have exactly the same drives to raid?- What about different size, model or brand?
5. And anything else you feel like contributing, im researching it, but its always nice to hear any tips u might have.

Unstriping Raid Drives
I have two wd80bb drives striped on an eio ap1680 raid card. I would like to unstripe the drives so that i can use them individually in separate machines. When i have removed one drive and reconnected to the mobo ide controller i cannot reformat the drive either through fdisk or during the xp installation process. Am i missing something? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Different Drive Models In Raid
I scanned for some post concerning this question but would it be bad to raid a few 1tb hard drives that are not the same model? They are all wd brand drives just different models. I would like them in a raid 5 so performance isn't an issue.

Rebooting During Raid Expansion
I've been trolling through the forums and the internet in general for a bit now and i still can't find an answer to this so here goes. I have a adaptec 3805 with a 6 disk raid5 array, and have recently upgraded the drives attached to it from 500gb's to 1tb's. I've been in the process of expanding the array to fill the newly available space and my computer has locked up about half way through. I say locked up because it hasn't blue screened and while it is unresponsive the led indicators on the card still look like is going flat tack. What i want to know is if i can reboot the computer safely, or if i should wait out the remaining time and about 5 days at this point and reboot when the lights stop flashing. Any help is greatly appreciated at this point.
