View Full Version : Delays
So I was hoping to get a lot done this week :banghead:
Computer has massive data corruption will take about a week to reformat and correct. :banghead:
I promise more updates are coming it is just one thing after another. Luckily only so much shit can go wrong before everything has and we are good to go :wtg:

right when you think everything that can go wrong has gone wrong, a squirrel nests in your hdd bay...the warmth and whirring of the discs comfort it so, and if you try to get it out...your face will be ripped to shreds like paper mario in a Cutco factory.

fuck cutco. well not really, good knives. fuck vector marketing. terrible business practices.
anyway, zero, 2 things. we're a 66 tick server now, why does cl_interp auto set for .1? should set for .033.
Second, there are a SHIT TON of new maps in gg, at least 1 of them sucks so far, but I didn't see any posts in the gg maps section, soooo... new maps or error?

Data corruption when taiwan is flooded D:
Wallet rape
That is why the case is in the center of a 100ft by 100ft mine filed. Sure it makes repairs hard but keeps them dam squirrels away :smirk:

Is HDD corruption contagious? My laptop bsod'd while looking for replacements for my pc. Twas the same issue. As for squirrals they nest in my acoustic so I'm pretty lucky I guess

odd, my phone likes to give me error codes, disconnect from the network, or just shut down when i talk about how it does that all the time...
so far I have been able to backup some of my c drive data and update the firnware on the ssd. I still plan to change my controller off IDE mode and then reformat.
I now have actual hardware failure. It may take weeks to recover. As the cost of replacement parts is in the thousands it could be longer as there is not enough money to actually replace the parts.

SSD hardware failure? D:
no I actually was having ssd issues though on my c drive which was fixed via a firmware update.
Now my raid card does not load up unless I remove it from the computer and wait like 5min and put it back in and then restart the computer 10 times and then it works.
So now I am trying to backup everything to external hdds that I picked up today so that I am protected against any data loss. The backups should take 1-2 days to process at 20mb/s.
The good news is I use teracopy as my file manager in windows so I can automatically crc check every file to ensure it was not corrupted in the backup process.
What sucks is that a new raid card will be like $1000.

Aww that blows... Tedious work, bit per bit back up takes FOREVER. =\
Pricey raid card.

Now Zero, if only you had made sweet, sweet love to your computer, this wouldn't have happened.
Also, it's probably pissed off that you put your computers & servers in the middle of a 100ft x 100ft mine field.
I mean comon, that's the exact same idea as putting the princess in the tower, guarded by a dragon.
See, this is what happens when you act like an Ogre.

Raid, is redudent array of disks
0 6 1 is would be a Raid 0 (two disks or arrays striped for spead(not actually raid as its not redundent), Followed by raid 6ing those raid 0s (err thats hard to explain, 5 arrays, two go bad keep all data, its fairly slow probably would cancel out the raid 0 speed benifits) then raid 1(mirring of two disks or arrays) the raid 6 XD
20 disks in unnecessary raid, hence the 1000 dollar raid card :lmao:
If all 20 were 2tb, that would be what, 12 Tb of usable data while the rest is all redundent?
actually a 0 6 1 would be more like this and would ideally be done with 2-4 cards and not 1.
2 raid 6 arrays in raid 0 for 6x2 for 12 drives for 24tb at 2tb each that would be 24tb -8tb for a total space of 16tb. Then to have this in raid 1 you just do the same again for 24 2tb drives in raid 0 6 1 with 16tb usable space. The theoretical performance would be around 2-4Gb/s.
On another note it will take about 7 days for the backup to finish. As a result I am going to try plan b: use my sisters laptop and esata to transfer the files faster than via usb. This should allow me to finish within the next 2 days instead.
Looks like the issue was my ssd? This held the os so it is going to be a long ride...

Nooooo... D:
At least the SSD is cheaper than the raid card??...
StarsMine

Cheaper then 1tb HDD now :banghead:
luckily I managed to get 2tb drives at 89$ a pop earlier this week for the emergency backups. They now cost close to $300.
You can also view me trying to get this fixed in this thread: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/showthread.php?276468-Raid-Controller-Bios-Not-Installed-%28SSD-Error-%29

:O 6 drives in raid six, your being fancier then my drobo FS :smirk:
I only have 5 5400rpm 2tb drives in raid 6. To bad I dont have much access to it in my dorm
It may be until late next week that my pc is working :banghead:

At least you don't have to pay for new parts...
Yea I do I had to order another ssd. You think I am going to wait until December to have a working computer again!? Also I now know that I can not trust that even the rma replacement will work correctly so I can not use it for an os disk. I have purchased a M4 which will be here by mid next week. To bad the price on it jumped $50 right before I bought it... however it is still a world cheaper than a new raid card.
Unfortunately this does mean that I did not need to spend $300 on hdds to try to back up my raid array... but hey those drives are worth over $800 today due to price increases!

Damn... the last time I RMA'd a video card with new egg it only took about 8 days shipped and received.

I still have not even gotten an RMA number despite being declared for RMA status on Friday...

Yea and it is bs that you can not select your carrier for shipping. Like there is a 12 hour difference when UPS and FedEx delvers. Maybe I can get more options if I sign up for a newegg business account?
Things I wish I could do for shipping on the internet independent of cost:
Same day delivery (yes it exists)
Weekend Overnight
Weekend Delivery for all types of shipping
Before noon not before end of day delivery.
Scheduled Windowed delivery (deliver within a 3 hour window)
365day delivery (I am tired of getting fucked by holidays)
All of the above for international shipping
Lastly a dam time est of when in the say you plan to deliver (assuming non window delivery)
