Thread: Raid 1 failures

-

i'm running ubuntu 11.10 main boot partition , s/w on ssd , raid 1 partition setup holding mythtv recordings. server set auto-start when there recording made. problem (and sometimes) system doesn't boot stops @ point requests os use (no when there's no 1 around!!) hitting return on default ubuntu version selected results in system completing startup. past investigations suggested failure due raid 1 partition not coming up, i've seen, example, situation array has 1 disc , needs other recovered (which being 1tb can take time), re-boot can resolve straight away. system not starting seems random , seems related raid 1 array failing start. think i've seen mentioned known problem linux raid, however, ideas might causing problem and/or how fix welcome i'd system become operational 1 replacing ageing 8.10 mythtv system, @ moment can't happen it's unreliable.

check cables. had similar issue , loose sata cable. vibration fans in array loosened connection on time. ended switching 90 deg sata cables , issue solved. 5+ yrs ago. no problem since.

also, i'd suggest migrating 12.04 - lts supported release. if other machines connect internet @ all, there risk of being hacked on non-maintained releases. know already, i'm certain.

a week ago in premiere pro cs6 world. one day updated windows, next day few .mp4 video files opened in premiere pro, played fine well, except fact display has green (sometimes multicolour, solid green block) bars in lower third of screen. see screenshot below.   these same files open/display fine in after effects, photoshop , vlc- , quicktime players. i'd read fromyears ago windows updates causing this, removed 1 of therecent kb's no avail. i did install adobemediaencodertrial_64-6.0.3-mul-adobeupdate and dynamiclinkmediaserverretail-1.0.1-mul-adobeupdate and reverted quicktime 7.6 but nothing makes difference.   in end, formatted c:\, reinstalled windows 7 ultimate 64bit , downloaded/installed 260 updates , reinstalled cs6 (and aforementioned ame , dlms updates , qt7.6) it's still same problem.   also tried exporting (part of) 1 of these files, see if wasn't display problem: exported file same properties original has green bars.   what else can do?   thanks in advanc
