[kaladont]

HI guys,

I have one problem. I have configured RP as a NAS and when rysnc starts to copy HDD unmounts and mounts again after a while. I tried to copy manually and same thing happend again.
What could be a problem?

is it only the /home/xbian/hdd2 which is remounting ?

[kaladont]

Only HDD1 -> UUID=9C64D17064D14DA0

I have read about "ntfs_attr_pread_i: ntfs_pread failed: Input/output error" People suggested to run chkdsk /R on windows.

I did check with ntfsfix but it did not show anything.

Code:

xbian@xbian ~ $ sudo ntfsfix /dev/sdb1
Mounting volume... OK
Processing of $MFT and $MFTMirr completed successfully.
Checking the alternate boot sector... OK
NTFS volume version is 3.1.
NTFS partition /dev/sdb1 was processed successfully.

[mk01]

I suppose recommendation to run chkdsk _under_ windows has own reasons. try it _under_ windows.

Try to "dd if=/dev/zero of=/path_this_disk/file.name bs=1M count=512"

whether you will experience the same or is it samba <> ntfs issue.

I have converted to hfs partition. Now it runs without problems.

[kaladont]

Now the same disk with HFS partition become read only. I guess the disk is dying.
This is the second 2.5" that stops working properly after not many working hours.
No more 2.5" HDDs for me...

check SMART status of the disk.
(apt-get install smartmontools)

Disk does not suppot SMART

How is the drive connected? Directly to the Rpi or powered USB hub? What's your power supply of the Rpi?

[kaladont]

It was connected over powered USB hub. Power supply is the same hub.

[namtih]

Powered USB hub sounds good. It usually has enough power to supply an RPi and 2.5" HDD.
I think in the next few days will be the release of the completely new Beta1 xbian version. Perhaps you give it a try then again. Sorry that I don't have a better idea now.

[kaladont]

I have now two new segate HDDs and problem with them does not exist anymore. They work flawlessly except beeing little bit noisy
