Server Crash

[aggiandrew]

Hi

When attempting to copy files from the server and onto a client pc running
on windows XP, the Open-e server LITE crashes. Also how can I see the data
on the back-up drive.

The Configuration of the Server is:
Gigabyte motherboard GA-P31-S3G
Intel core 2 duo 1.8 Ghz processor
1Gb RAM
Running RAID software.

Thanks in advance

What types of files are you trying copy.
I have been using DSS lite to store and retrive my video files (4G and up)
with no problems.

have you checked configuration and network settings?
is your raid healthy?

I looked at freenas but DSS has more features.
My opion this is a better product

Did you get any errors when you system crashed.
if you can be more descriptive as to what was happening we can be more helpful.

You will regret freenas choice with SMB , this product is far from mature

I have managed to make the system more stable by reading the install manual from the open-e server. But i am still having small problems.

my raid is healthy and i have used smart utility for to check software raid.

I have tried several network cards even an old 3com 3c905ctx card.

The problem arises when i attempt to send over more then 1 file at a time. when i attempt to send the first file an error message comes up saying "Media has been removed" but there is an image of the media on the nas drive.



Thankyou to everyone who has replied.

I dont think i explained my problem correctly in my previous point.

I copy one file over to the open-e server, while this is being copied over i try to copy a second file over to the open-e server at the same time, during this process the first file comes up with an error message "File cannot be copied media has been removed". The second file continues and completes copying to the open-e server. When looking on the open-e server i was still able to see both files on the server but the first file was unaccessible.

What type of switch do you have.
Did this happen with all network cards?
How fast is the nic in the system now ?
