The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

XP Pro Software RAID5 stops working, disk is detached and unusable until reboot

Asked by esbjorn_larsen in NFS File Server, Hard Drives & Storage, File Servers

Tags: xp, raid, windows

I move a software RAID5 from one XP Pro machine to another.  The mount went fine but after a couple of hours the volume disappears after a number of error messages as seen in the event viewer.  The same RAID5 worked great on a 5 times slower machine for over a year with great results.  My upgrade should work even better.  The only difference between old PC and new PC, is that the PC was not a clean install.  It's been installed on and uninstalled on for years.  Basically, there shouldn't be a problem with the HDs.  The RAID5 is a XP software raid with 3x750GB, so total storate of the dynamic disk is 1.34TB.

Every time I get the errors, the volume eventually disappears but is fine after a reboot.  Of course, after each major error, it needs to regenerate the volume, which also takes hours. This is my file server and I can't have it rebooting every 3 hours.

Here are some of the error messages from the "System" folder in the Event Viewer.  They are in chronological order.  See at the bottom for the most interesting error messages such as "delayed write", "FT Orphaning","detaching RAID-5 Raid1".

I have been trying to troubleshoot this for weeks and its killing me.  Please help.
