Balthazar Raid 5 (S:) rebuild

So I restarted Balthazar (Shut down, turned back on) and the bottom drive in the raid 5 array wasn't responding. So I pulled it out and put it back in, and now it is rebuilding at about 25% per 10 hours.

Rebuild completed at approx. 1 day 13 hours. The rebuild rate seemed to slow and then accelerate again at about 57%. Seems I already copied the network backups to my first external 4GB drive (T:)

Balthazar Radi 5 S: Verify

Balthazar Radi 5 S verify took nearly 28 hours after having to force a shutdown from transfering from both G :and S:. Intel RST tried to verify again after I'm guessing it completed, which I stopped. S: had about 300 parity errors as well.

Balthazar Freeze

Well I turned my phone on while it was still plugged into the 24 port USB hub on Balthazar, and it froze the whole system.

Balthazar Uptime 4 days 22 hours

I decided to restart Balthazar to verify again the integrity of the raid 5 array that makes up S:. Chrome also seems to have just died yesterday while I was out in Orland Park, and there was no option to restore my previous session, Session manager also brought up about 10 copies of google weather. Utorrent also seems to have died, unless I exited and forgot because I was going to run the Integrity check on S:

Gaspar Refresh

Well I decided to refresh Gaspar, and I am still having BSOD's. I also keep running SFC /scannow while I download or install the 80 or so windows updates.

Balthazar Audio pops, cracks, and cut outs

Balthazar has been ip for 1 day 19 hours, and I am having audio pops cracks, and even cutting out for a few seconds while browsing web pages and watching episodes of Quantum Leap off the S: raid 5 array.

Gaspar not exiting Sleep/Hibernate Properly?

I took Gaspar out and about, and after trying to wake it up from, sleep, I was faced with a black screen with a cursor for at least five minutes, so I had to force shutdown via power button.

Well I noticed this error In Balthazar's event long

System Error: The server was unable to allocate from the system nonpaged pool because the server reached the configured limit for nonpaged pool allocations.

and I applied the registry changes here: http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-performance/system-error-the-server-was-unable-to-allocate/1ceaaf3c-37b3-46fb-9f68-a54be16b9ed4

Hi Ajay,

1.       Is the computer connected to a domain network?

2.       When exactly do you receive this error message?

3.       Do you have any third party antivirus or security program installed on your computer?

This issue occurs due to the antivirus software present on your computer and also the less system cache.

Step 1: As a test you may consider disabling security software on your Windows 7 computer and check for the issue.

Turn windows firewall on or off

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-us/windows7/Turn-Windows-Firewall-on-or-off

Disable antivirus software

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/Disable-antivirus-software

Note: Enable all security software after the test.

Step 2: If the issue gets resolved then I suggest you to follow these below steps.

a.       Click Start, Run.

b.      Type "regedit"

c.       Set the following registry key to ‘1′:

d.      Navigate to:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\Memory Management\LargeSystemCache

e.      And set the following registry key to ‘3′:

HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\LanmanServer\Parameters\Size

After making these changes, restart your machine.

Besides restarting, and came back early thursday morning to Balthazar having a hundred to a thousand dllhost prcoesses running. I had to force a shutdown by holding the power button to even just shut down. And of course, now I have to reinstall powerchute.
