Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Amber LEDS... (posted from another thread for clarity)


Seems if there were a genuine hard drive problem, it would be one drive but not both, as is happening. All the DLINK documentation is pretty weak - 'hard drive failure'. Also, it would not work when the 323 is restarted, but it works fine for 5-10-15 minutes. I can read files, update directories, copy folders, etc. I watched about 20 minutes of a blu-ray movie being streamed from the DNS before it quit streaming, but the DNS is still alive and was restarted from the web interface. I'm wondering is this is possibly a heat related problem, and if so, how would I know if I have alerts enabled, but can't get a successful email test using gmail, since I believe non-standard ports are not supported? Is there a log somewhere that would tell me something?

Thanks,

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

as i already have written in the other thread. your flash is probably full, cause some app you installed writes to it. twonkymedia has this behaviour.

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Thanks for the reply.

At this point, I have no apps installed, except to support fun_plug, and that is minimal - only telnetd. I removed twonky. When you refer to 'flash', do you mean the tmp subdirectory and contents? If so, is there something I can monitor to give me some clues about the possible offender?

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

yeah i mean the root fs on the dns. e.g. /tmp (not /ffp/tmp). You can check the state via 'df -h'. When / is full, the dns-323 gets screwed.

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

This is what I have - the file serving just stopped
/ #  df -h
Filesystem                Size      Used Available Use% Mounted on
/dev/ram0                 9.7M      7.3M      1.9M  80% /
/dev/loop0                5.6M      5.6M         0 100% /sys/crfs
/dev/md0                456.7G    375.6G     81.2G  82% /mnt/HD_a2

Is this helpful to anyone?

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Any other ideas about why both hard drive get the PINK/AMBER LEDS and go offline? I have looked everywhere on these threads and have no clue.

Thanks,

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Ok. I think I'm onto something here. I removed left hand drive of raid set, re-started, no change. Repeated with right hand drive, no change. I am attempting to eliminate variables, so I disabled the itunes server and the UP server and re-started. I'm now 46 minutes into a movie being streamed from the DNS and still running. Is it possible that some settings and options are incompatible? I have been using the itunes and up server since day 1. I attempted to configure the DDNS, but was unsuccessful, so I disabled it. Now wondering if all these changes and settings have identified a bug?

I'll keep posting.

Up for 2 hours...still alive. I will re-join the hard drive to the raid and re-start and see what happens

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Apparently those items fixed the HDD, but in the process of re-syncing the raid1, I have broken my telnet access. I attempted to re-intstall fun_plug, but I believe I had an earlier version installed and when I broke and re-assembled the raid, the fun_plug never gets installed. I placed the fun_plug and the tar in the volume1 directory, but it is never accessed, and the FPP subdirectory is never created.

fun_plug.d/etc/funplug-version contents show this to be version 0.3

Any ideas on how to get telnet working again, or the updated current version fun_plug installed?

Thanks again

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

Just figured out the problem. I have 2 drives, one is a former raid1 member, and the other was added as a non-raid, giving 2 volumes. I copied the fun_plug installation to the drive with nothing on it, and re-started and now it installed on the new drive.

telnet is up and alive

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

I had the same "blue-for-a-while-then-pink" problem that happened after a blackout. The drives where ok, so I thought the problem was somewhere in the firmware (or in the flash memory). I did an upgrade from 1.07 to the 1.08b5 and the pink leds appeared as well. Then I decided to reset the DNS to the factory default and downgraded it to 1.06 (because I have a 1.5TB drive). Now it's running well for about 6 hours. Let's see if it stays that way...

Re: Amber LEDs on BOTH hard drives - Raid1

So you figured a power outage corrupted your flash - interesting.

Theoretically possible, but unlikely - not unless you were writing to flash at the time of the outage, and there are checksums that would allow the processor to discover the corruption - so if it boots and runs, the chances of there having been random corruption of the flash memory, are slim to nil.
