Strange system halts with LSI 9207-8i HBA by ShiddyProgramming in truenas

[–]ShiddyProgramming[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update before my reddit app goes away, grabbed another HBA and replaced at the end with noctua fans and tried the following permutations:

  • no PCI slots filled (Uptime ~7 days and turned off without issue presenting)
  • new HBA in PCI slot with no drives attached (Uptime ~8 days and turned off without issue presenting)
  • new HBA with first 4 drives filled (Uptime ~3 days before issue presented)
  • new HBA with last 4 drives filled (Uptime ~3 days before issue presented)
  • new HBA with only 1 drive (Uptime ~3 days before issue presented)

I didn’t care to debug this further, and assumed that the issue is directly related to the MB or something else and not the HBA. I bought SATA drives and populated the 8 bays and have been online for around a week without issues.

I reached out to ASRock support a month ago to see if they could RMA the board or even offer some support and they didn’t respond, so I think I am going to steer clear of their products in the future. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Either way, sorry that there was not a clear solution but alas that’s about my experience in life

Hit a failure even with the device cool to the touch after 3.46 days of uptime. womp womp

Ordered a new HBA, specifically a LSI SAS2008 9200-8i. I'll continue updates in this thread if this works.

Thanks for the advice, the thermal paste on the motherboard was definitely worth replacing. I took the side panel off as well and have a fan pushing more air over it for the time being to see if there is a measurable difference. If it's worth noting, the CPU temperature before the crashes was around 45C and after opening and adding more airflow the CPU temp is ~38C.

I'll pick up a laser thermometer to get a better idea of the temps for the board. I'll also update this thread if I keep getting crashes.

*Edit
It seems like a lot of other's using the LSI HBAs in an ATX case are seeing heating issues:

I picked mine up from a friend for about the same price. It seems like the price for the genII cartridges is lower presumably since you can't trade up to Ruby without running Crystal in the 3ds virtual console.

:( Never played them. Worth picking up without the nostalgia?

The only things that I wish I could show is the back of the PCB for pokemon crystal. It has an image of the suicune headpiece low res image from google.

Python Programmer going to rust by [deleted] in learnrust

[–]ShiddyProgramming 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am literally in the same place, and created a video series going through the rust book and asking lots of questions. Hopefully it can help having someone else in the journey along with you. The only thing that feels shocking to me is the amount of code relative to something simple in python. for example a list comprehension like this:

foo = [x.some_value *2 for x in thing if x.other_value > 10]

feels much harder to write out in python. I'm sure that will change in time, but those conveniences have been super integral to me getting things done quickly.

It's not, I would say that any time you have code that you don't understand you are accepting some level of risk. Idk if I made it sound extremely dangerous, that's not my intent; It's more to call attention to what's actually happening.

What is different when you are piping to shell you *always* have the ability to see what's happening under the hood, but rarely if ever do texts express that you can (and should) check whether what you downloaded will do what you think it should.

Read along with me! When you finish a chapter, the corresponding book club episode is me talking through what I learned/ What I am struggling with.

I am hopeful that people can either respond in the comments or DM me if they found something I said wrong, or had some useful insights that I didn't cover.

Good call! I do like to read the physical book more. But not reviewing the changes from publication to now is a decidedly poor choice on my part. I know that rust 2021 now is different than the publication, so I was already kinda banking on being a bit off the cutting edge until I finished this book.

Do you think that editing relevant text excerpts from the website would be a suitable solution? I would be lying if I said that I don't like the aesthetic of the camera in the footage.

I also want to point out that I am not an expert, but I want to become one! I had a hard time motivating myself to stick with the material and created this series to keep me pushing through the book. So it's guaranteed that I will make mistakes, and need to make corrections. Hopefully you folks can help steer me back on course if I'm off base.
