Upgrading QT caused my RAID array to drop frames again!

FCP 5.1.4. Upgraded QT today as per software upgrade. Repaired DPs after. Just as last time, now my RAID array drops frames on PB. Last time, I thought it was a controller card problem, but a student said to just reinstall QT using steps from Michael Eilers' March 18, 2007 post. It worked. I can try this again, but my question is: Do I have to do this everytime I upgrade QT? Am I doing something wrong? This can't be the SOP for upgrading QT, can it? Maybe I should look at LaCie for updates to the RAID? Advise and help to answer this would be greatly appreciated.

REPEAT AFTER ME: WHEN YOU HAVE A STABLE OS AND APPLICATION COMBO, CLONE YOUR STARTUP DRIVE. This is the only way, I repeat, THE ONLY WAY to work if you depend on your system for your livelihood. I clone to a second internal drive and I can be back to work in a matter of minutes if things go south after an update or upgrade. There is no way that Apple can thoroughly test every possible hardware and software combination. And do not expect a third party supplier to have updates immediately ready.

  • Upgrade to FCE 4.0 results in dropped frames

    I just upgraded to FCE 4.0 from 3.5HD and now key-framed motion clips that worked fine before die repeatedly with dropped frames. I've set RT to safe and dynamic and the memory cache to 80%, and while FCE is resident on my hard drive the files are on the G-Raid linked by firewire (not USB) where the scratch disks, waveform and thumbnail caches, and autosave vault are pointed.
    Will upgrading RAM to 4 GB help? How about a new 7200 rpm hard drive with 16 meg cache?
    What else should I do?

    Hi(Bonjour)!
    Install the FCE 4.0.1 update via software update.
    Try to render for playback.

  • MOVED: Upgrading system with existing RAID Array

    This topic has been moved to Vista problems.
    https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?topic=106509.0

    The only issue I can foresee is a permissions one. Make sure it is set to "Ignore permissions…" before doing anything. If the drive has specific ownership when you reinstall and you fail to have a matching account to the onwer you'll need to mess with the root account to potentially get back into the drive.
    Most unknowingly avoid this issue though using the same username and short username on the reinstalled system.

  • Dropped Frames w/Xserve RAID: Solution

    We were having problems with capturing DV footage onto our new Xserve RAID and having dropped frames or even image freeze during the capture. Found some threads on the Xserve RAID forum regarding the issue and after following some of the suggestions (summed up in the article below) we can now report the problem has been solved. However, there are some reports the remedy may need to be reimplemented if the Xserve RAID is powered down. But I hope this helps those out there experiencing similar problems between FCP and Xserve RAID.
    http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=302780

    every night I shut down my xraid unless it's rendering or copy ing. I use raid admin to shut it down. Every morning I start the array from the button on the back, boot the G5, and launch raid admin and uncheck "allow host cache flushing" It's like brushing your teeth and having a shower tho those personal habits don't have to follow the same order

  • Quick RAID array setup question

    I had to upgrade one of the RAID arrays of one of my clients the other day. I had not setup the RIAD previously, but when I looked at how it was setup before it had 6 disc's in the array and one not part of the array.
    Now I assume who ever set it up before assumed that the 7th disc would be the redundant disc. After looking at the way it worked and doing some calculations from what info RAID admin provided me with I came to the conclusion that the way it was set up would be 6 disc's used as the array with one being a parity drive so if a drive failed that one would take over. On top of that they had another disc that was basically useless as it was not incorporated into the raid at all.
    The way I have set it up is that all 7 discs are part of the array so they have 6 disc's working with one fail over that would be the 7th meaning no disc's are wasted.
    Which way is correct is my question.

    I assume your predesessor left one disk as a hot spare.
    Whenever a disk from a raid set fails, the raid set will be rebuild with the hot spare disk. The bad disk can be swapped and will be the hot spare from then.
    Configuarions like this will give you the highest availability, but will cost you the most. Netto you will have the amount of 5 out of 7 disks. (1 for parity and 1 for hot spare).
    Note that in a raid5 set the parity is spread over all raid disks. There is not such a thing as a 'paritydisk'. The term paritydisk is hust for mathmatics purposes.

  • Final Cut Pro and EditShare - Dropped Frames

    Hey,
    My Company just got a new EditShare File Sharing server. It's a 5 Rack with 24 drives, for a total of 18TB of space. The problem is, when we're trying to capture straight to the ES (which has 8 RAIDS) there are Dropped Frame Errors appearing. We've tried turning the Internet off, and even re-organized the connection preferences so the ES is the first to be refreshed, but we're still having dropped frames. Info:
    Final Cut Pro - 5.1.2
    Capturing from a DVCPRO 50 Deck thru Firewire
    EditShare - 4.0.2
    G5 Mac with OS 10.4.7
    note Didn't get so many dropped frames when using LaCie Drives. Could be connection speed or not enough broadband. Any Suggestions? Thanks.
    FraserPost

    I believe it's fiber, but not sure. We're also checking because the Gigabit switch has 3 settings, 10/100/1000 gigabits, so it could be at a lower setting, and that's causing a backup in the broadband speed. We're also noticing that the transfer rate from our External HDs (which we were capturing to before) to the ES was slower than anticipated.
    Anyone else find this problem with an EditShare or File Sharing server?
    Just checked, it's CAT6 cables.

  • Dropped frames on Xserve RAID upgraded w/750GB drives.

    I'm capturing in 10-bit uncompressed standard definition 720x480. I just upgraded one side of my Apple XRAID, (connected directly via fibre channel) with seven, 750GB hard drives from Apple, drives designed for the XRAID, (came with there own sleds.)
    Current Xserve RAID firmware version is at version 1.5.1/1.51c
    Before the upgraded drives, no issues with dropped frames, (drives 1-7) the other side of the same RAID has no problems, (currently running 250GB drives, drives 8-14.) All sleds are populated with drives of the same capacity, (respective to each side.)
    The drives were formated using the Xserve RAID Admin software and mounted using Apples Disk Utilities, Journaling turned off. The final formated capacity of the RAID on drives 1-7 is 4.1TB.
    When I capture to the drives on the upgrade side, I get dropped frames. When capturing to the other side, no issues, works great. I checked the settings for performance and they are the same for both sides, as follows:
    Use Controller Write Cashe - ON
    Allow Host Cashe Flushing - OFF
    Use Drive Write Cashe - ON
    Use Steady Streaming Mode - OFF
    Read Prefetch: 128 stripes (8 MB/disk)
    My capture box is an AJA I/o and has never given me dropped frames till now, but only on the side of the RAID that has the new 750GB drives. I also have another RAID that uses 500GB drives on both sides and it work just fine as well, (no dropped frames) using the same performance settings in XRAID utilities.
    Any suggestion on why these new Apple drives modules are dropping frame would be very much appreciate. Again 7 new 750GB drives from Apple w/sleds having dropped frame issues.

    I'm capturing in 10-bit to avoid loss of quality from analog sources like BetaCam SP as well as line 21 must be part of the captured file, because it contains line 21 for captioning. Eight bit has a banding issue that I can't have in the final product and 10-bit doesn't have this issue.
    Source quality is maintained completely when working in 10-bit uncompressed, as well as the captioning data that I need, which is stripped out of the captured video latter. Captioning software can read line 21 of the raster area, of the captured file.
    Source video is from BetaCam SP, DVC Pro and DVCam.
    The RAID is an Apple Xserve RAID, connected via Fibre channel directly, (no xsan.)
    I also create high quality QuickTime Streaming files from these source files, the higher the quality of the source video the the better the streaming files look when created.
    I have never had any problem capturing till I installed these new drives from Apple.
    The RAID is as stated above, is an Apple Xserve RAID, connect via a fibre channel card in a Mac Pro 3.0GHz tower, (no xsan is used, due to connecting directly to the XRAID.)

  • K8N Neo2 Platinum - RAID Array Causes CPU Spikes!

    I got my RAID array set up.
    When I transfer files to it, my CPU usage (kernerl level) shoot up.  It's around 100%, and it slows my system way down.
    MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum.
    RAID 0 using SATA ports 3 and 4.
    I'm transferring files from my current windows installation to partitions on the raid array, so I can install windows on the array after removing the old drives.
    I can transfer data fine, but using the array causes huge cpu usage which slows the rest of my system down a LOT.

    Hello !
    Which SATA / Raid Driver did you install ? The ones from the nforce driver package provided by nvidia, or the original MSI driver ?
    Go here:
    http://www.msi.com.tw/program/support/driver/dvr/spt_dvr_detail.php?UID=607&kind=1
    And download and install the SATA RAID Driver, make a backup of your Data first.
    Greetz
    Well, I have seen this post and it makes me wonder what are the differences between nforce chipset driver packages and the MSI ones if any? Thanks in advance.

  • Lag/Pause believed to be caused by RAID [SOLVED]

    I have installed arch about 4 months back and ever since been experience and Lag/Freezing issue which occurs anywhere from 1-30 seconds at a time. I have been looking for solutions and fixing issues I have found with my system in order to find a solution. It does not seem to be any issue with the hardware, everything is new. I have even gone so far as to swapping out certain parts such as the memory and have even updated the bios firmware.
    I believe this is an issue with the way the raid is setup, as harddrive I/O will cease when this happens. If there is something else that may be causeing this issue then I am unsure what it could be.
    I have posted my dmesg, mdstat and mdadm.conf files below. Also my system is still experience two bugs. The first one is the RAID initalization failed message durring systm initialization even though the raid array was assembled fine by the kernel. And the other on is the error message from LVM2 durring initalization "File-based locking initialisation failed". That error has  supposively been fixed from an update though I am still getting it.

    I have been doing some searching around and have found some new information.
    https://raid.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/Performance
    I found there were some fixes for the "apparent pauses in the stream of IO" that I believed I was experiencing as well. I had in the meantime changed my raid array to raid 5 to increase the read performance which had helped with my lag issue but it was still apparent. So I did two of the optimizations listed on the page. But before I did I ran a benchamark on my current raid 5 array.

    After changing the stripe cache size it looks like there has been a massive improvement in output speeds. Though I have not used the desktop environment of the computer yet nor have I been watching movies/downloading or doing anything I/O heavy yet of this change. I think this may have been the root of my problem. When I have used the computer for a few more weeks I will report here again whether or not lag/pause problem has been solved.

  • WinXP-64 bit corrupts existing RAID array

    I've got an MSI K8N Neo2 Platinum motherboard running Win XP Pro SP2 on two 36 gig SATA Raptors.  Everything was working fine, but I wanted to try the 64 bit version of XP.  Grabbed an old 80 gig PATA drive and threw that in the case.  Unplugged the SATA drives so as not to risk messing with the existing working OS.  Installed the latest 1218 x64 beta and it worked well.
      The problem was that when I shut down and reconnected my old RAID array, windows wouldn't boot from it.  I lost everything and had to rebuild Windows from scratch.  So now I know to never unplug the SATA drives   
      Rebuilt WinXP on the RAID array and then tried rebooting with the PATA drive with the 64 bit OS.  Came up with the "drive needs checking" screen, and proceeds to "fix" the RAID array while ignoring my frantic pounding on the Logitech USB keyboard to stop.  Rebooted and yes, the new install was nuked.  Okay, since it's gone anyway, reboot to the 64 bit OS and make sure it's got the 64 bit RAID drivers installed.
      Reinstall WinXP on the RAID array, reboot to the 64 bit OS on the other drive and the same old scandisk comes and nukes it AGAIN!
      So now the PATA drive is sitting on the shelf again, unless someone here can suggest what is causing this problem.
    System Specs
    Athlon64 3500
    gig of PQI 3200 at 2-2-2-5 2.6
    2x36 gig Raptors on ports 3-4
    Plextor PX-716a DVD+_RW
    Visiontek X800 Pro.

    The first time you re-installed Win 32 on the raid that was a bit drastic. A repair ought to have done the job.
    The problem was probably that you disconnected the array but that's where the boot.ini was and that file needed to be modified to add the path to the Win64 install.
    Since you took out the array the Win64 install created a new boot.ini on the PATA drive. Even when you tell BIOS to boot off the array, Windows has a bad habit of looking at the IDE channels & using the boot.ini if it finds one there - but the file it found didn't point to the array of course.
    So basically if you already have Win32 on the array I would leave that array connected normally when installing Win64 on the PATA drive and all should be well.
    I've installed Win64 on the same array as my Win32 install and they co-exist happily. I reckon that's the most efficient way to do it. The main thing is to make separate partitions for Win32, Win64 and data files when you install Win32 in the first place. The two OSs can share the same data files, incuding stuff like email.

  • Is It Possible to Clone RAID Array in a Safe and Easy Way?

    Why do computer users need to clone RAID array, especially Windows Server users need to do RAID cloning? Generally speaking, they need to clone RAID array regularly in order to upgrade disk or migrate data from small disk to a larger one. A typical
    example is that when the partitions on the hardware RAID runs out of space, you may prefer to rebuild the hardware RAID with larger hard disks. Then, you need to backup the data to another place, rebuild the hardware RAID and restore data again.
    What a time-consuming task!
    Is it possible to clone RAID array in a safe and easy way? The answer is yes and this article will introduce a RAID cloning software.

    Hi jiangchunli,
    Were you looking to post this question in some other forum? This looks like related to RAID and Disk upgrades.
    This forum is meant for

  • RAID Arrays and WinXP Home

    OK... I tried upgrading to Win XP 64-bit, but found there were games and applications that were screwy there and some items without 64-bit drivers, etc.  So, I rolled back to a clean install of XP Home (32-bit).
    After much effort, I was told today at a local techie-store that XP Home "doesn't allow for RAID arrays."
    True?
    I have 2 Hitachi 160GB drives I got last week at the afore-mentioned store for $112 US total!  So, I am trying to make it all work, but am having no luck.
    Any thoughts?
    Scott in Los Angeles

    There is a way to make some versions of windows do a software RAID, but the MSI board has a VIA and a Promise hardware array. Don't worry about what the 'techie' said.
    Enable Promise controller in BIOS and set it for RAID.
    Press Ctrl & F when prompted to set up your RAID array.
    Boot to Windows CD
    Press F6 when prompted and insert your Promise RAID disk.
    Enjoy!

  • KT4 Ultra: problem config. raid array IDE3

    I owe the MSI 6590 KT4 Ultra BSR mainboard and I have difficulties configurring the RAID array in striping mode, on the IDE3 controller.
    The manual describes on page 2-18 it's possible to connect up to 2 hard drives, cdrom, 120mb fd and other devices to the IDE3 controller.
    Unfortunately only one of my two MAXTOR D740X-6L (6L080J4) 80gig drives is recognized by the array.
    One Maxtor hard drive is jumpered as MASTER and the other is set up as SLAVE.
    When I hook up the cable to an ordinary IDE port (eg IDE1) the two drives are properly recognized.
    Both drives can be formatted using the regular IDE ports, this means without any cluster errors or other errors so the drives are physically OK.
    Before I wrote this post I checked the support section again to make sure I am using the latest BIOS which is 1.1. I also downgraded to 1.0, but that didn't solve my problem either.
    Since I work in a computer shop now and then I had the opportunity to check two Maxtor Fireball3 30gig drives on a different MS-6590 RAID board (BIOS 1.1.) and exactly the same problem occurs: the 2nd drive won't be recognized in the ARRAY on IDE3.
    Please tell me what to do to make the striping option fully work on my two IDENTICAL Maxtor hard drives since MSI support came up with a standard email, which didn't cheer me up at all. Hopefully this time they will investigate this matter since no doubt more people will experience this.

    Thanks for the quick response, though it's not satisfactory for me (of course).
    Actually before installing the new KT4 Ultra I owed the KT266 Pro RAID motherboard. It's true this board has two controllers for the RAID option. Nevertheless because after reading the manual of this new board I was convinced I could connect two hard drives on the IDE3-channel. This is the reason I decided to go ahead and to upgrade to this new mainboard.
    I guess I have to go back to my employer and fall back again to my KT266 (MS6380).

    Has anyone got this error string?
    First RAID array I would very much appreciate any help given.

    Hi!
    Looking at some info on Google and Microsoft site, I cannot find the BC error code, only the error code ending with B. It indicates an error with the boot device. It can be caused by several things.
    Check that you are using the correct device drivers to install Windows
    Also, check the installation CD. It could be that the disk was damaged and that you are missing a crucial file because of that
    You can also try installing Windows again and choose to recover the previous installation.
    If this all does not help, try installing Windows on a single HDD (no raid) to see if that will work.

  • Updating a Hardware RAID array

    I'm running a recent Mac Pro model with Hardware RAID and four 1TB SATA drives.
    Seagate 1.5TB drives are now available, and they're cheaper than the 1TB drives were just a few months ago.
    My Infrant/Netgear ReadyNAS NV+ implements a proprietary form of RAID that they called X-RAID, similar to RAID-5 but with the feature that you can swap larger drives into the array one at a time, and when you're done, the RAID will be re-synced to make use of the additional storage without requiring that you dump and restore the contents of the array. The final re-sync is an admittedly long process (it took three days for mine to update from 4x750GB to 4x1TB) but it's still a very convenient feature.
    Does Hardware RAID on Mac OS X have anything like this, i.e. can I replace 1TB drives one at a time with 1.5TB drives and preserve my data? And when I'm done, will the system recognize and use the new storage?
    If not, could someone please describe the procedure that I would need to go through in order to achieve this? I presume that I would need to recreate the RAID array entirely, re-install the OS, and then restore the system from my Time Machine backup. But I'm not sure of the details.
    I'd appreciate any help with this. Thanks.
    An aside: I was more than a little upset a few months ago when I called Apple Support for help with initial setup of my RAID array (I have Apple Care) and was told "Sorry, we don't support Hardware RAID." So Apple was quite happy to sell me an $800 piece of hardware for my lavish new system but didn't bother to tell me at time of purchase that my configuration was "unsupported." It seems a little outrageous to me.
    Given Apple's refusal to help me I need to ask the community for help with problems like this.

    Hi rrgomes;
    Never having heard of X-RAID but going by your comment that is similar to RAID5 I would have to say that you will not be able to upgrade by replacing one disk at a time.
    As to no support for the RAID card, I personally would not have taken his word for that. Instead I would have escalated it up through Customer Service just to be sure before I gave up on that point. To me the response you got there sounds bogus.
