Hard Drive Temperature
Nehmo
off the monitor, and nothing would happen (nothing would display) when
I used the mouse or keyboard. The first two attempted reboots didn't get
Windows to load, but on the third, Windows started the system performed
normally. Since then, everything seems to be okay, and I can reboot
without a problem. I'm not sure what happened, but I *did* increase the
size of the pagefile yesterday, and I postponed the necessary reboot.
The case is open and I can touch the hard drives. Yesterday during and
after the failure, they all *felt* to be hotter than they should be. I
have two Western Digitals and a Seagate. Looking at the HD mfg sites, I
learned a modern HDs can operate up to 60 degrees C. I got this utility,
SIGuardian v 1.7 trial
http://www.siguardian.com/products/siguardian/index.html , to get the
temperature and it shows the temperature of the drives, but it
misidentifies all my drives as being Seagate. This makes me suspect that
the temp reading provided by the app may be incorrect too.
Today, SIGuardian shows all the drives at 34 C. Yesterday, when I looked
just after the event, they were almost at 50 C. Perplexing.
Can I trust the temp values given by SIGuardian even though it
incorrectly identifies the manufacturers of the HDs?
Is there another utility to monitor the HD temps?
Or is there a direct way through Windows to see the temp of the HDs?

some sort of loop that included disk I/O. Rather than worry about the
disk drives, which most likely survived without injury, you should try
to discover what locked up the system in the first place, as it may
happen again, unless some very unusual set of circumstances came
together to cause it.
You can use something like smartctl to run tests on the drives and
check results to make sure they are still running okay (it will also
give you their operating temperatures).

Drives do get pretty hot when installed like that.

I wouldnt run them at that temp for long myself.

The room temp can make a surprising difference with all the drives
stacked on top of each other without much airflow over the drives.

Not true. For a HD 50C is too close to the max 55C that WD specs.

Now that I see what Everest shows, it seems to be giving the same
readings as SIGuardian.
From Everest:
Computer > Sensor:
Temperatures
Motherboard 24 °C (75 °F)
CPU 31 °C (88 °F)
PWM 29 °C (84 °F)
ST3120026A 33 °C (91 °F)

Odd. The temp section gives the same Seagate id number for all the
drives, but under storage, they’re different.

If the software misidentifies the drives it MAY be getting the
temperatures right. Then again it might be confused about them too. I'd
suggest that you give a different utility a shot. One easy and useful
one is Everest Home.
http://www.lavalys.com/products/overview.php?pid=1&lang=en
It is completely free and seems to get all my drives right on various
systems no matter how bizarre the configuration. Then again it may not
read the CPU and other temperatures exactly right. Or so other Shuttle
users have reported. On my SB65G2 it crosses up the temperatures of the
CPU and PWM.
But I'm curious, how did you manage to get THREE HDs into a Shuttle?
Mine has space for one or two (if I get rid of the floppy/flash reader),
but three would mean sacrificing the optical drive too.

OK, that usually happens when one of the
drivers cant setup the hardware its controlling.
You should be able to see which hardware it is by turning the
log on in the menu where you elect to start in safe mode.

OK, that just means that the new size wont be used till the next reboot.

Those numbers are all fine.
Odd, must be some reason the hard drive controller stops
the software from seeing the drive ID properly in that situation.

Yeah, likely due to the SCSI controller.
Looks like one bit of flakey hardware is the reason for the
reboot failures. The log should tell you which hardware it is.

WIndows recommendation is logically broken, the more memory
a box has the lower the size needs be.
The ideal here is to gauge the largest your pagefile ever
gets to be, and assigning it a fixed minimum that is
slightly larger than that. One random suggestion might be
512MB-1GB, perhaps large if you do some REALLY big jobs on
the system but if you do, you know it already, and probably
also know that you need more physical memory so there was
never a time you exceeded that 512MB initial figure in
actual utilization rather than mere allocation.
This is with the drive defragged so it is (as much as
possible) contiguous space. Set the maximum FAR above any
realistic figure beacause that is only a upper boundary you
never want to reach, like almost all of the remaining free
space on that HDD parititon.

a Foxconn K7S741MG-6L / K7S741GXMG-6L. Since then, Sensors 2 and 3 of MBM

Its a little counter intuitive.
There is a tick box in the MBM config to use the smart temp from
the hard drives in the General tab of settings, right down the bottom.
Once that is ticked, MBM has to be restarted before that tick takes
effect. Once you have restarted MBM, the hard drives that have
SMART temp are available in the list of sensors you can select
from with the temperature sensors.
Its covered in the MBM help.

They do, since I can use smartctl against them.

My HDs support SMART, but I can't figure which sensor to associate with
which on the Settings of MBM.
But I am getting the temps using the other programs. I'm just trying to

Rod Speed

Yeah, the user interface is rather counter intuitive.
You can put it on any temperature display you like,
and you only see the hard drives in the list of sensors
you can attach to each temperature display after you
tick the main box and restart MBM.

I could easily try cloning again. It might work this time
An oddity about the temperatures:
When the drives heated up (after I had something to read the
temperature), they _all_ did it, and they didn't reach a critical
point.
Regarding the DVD/CD drive...
Do you think I should reinstall the NVIDIA controller(s)? I would think
that would be preferable because it's specialized. The alternative is
the Windows controllers that are now doing the job. You suspect a
hardware problem with the DVD writer. It might even still be under
warrantee. I'll have to look. The people at AfterDawn
http://forums.afterdawn.com/thread_view.cfm/2/240783 have abandoned my
thread; maybe they don't have any more suggestions.
Back to the HD problem:
If the C drive is to sick to clone,
My other option is to fresh install Windows on a blank HD, which would
be my 160 GB H drive. Then I'd have to reinstall all the programs,
etc, but at least then I'd be able to move up to XP's SP2. (not
that I think it's necessary, though). I gave up on doing that on C
after I spending about a month and a half on it. However, I'm sure
SP2 would install on a fresh XP install.
You know... maybe I'm going to do that. I'll partition off a
section for Linux, which I've always wanted to try, and I'll make a
duel boot system. Can I have FAT on one partition and NTFS on another
of the same physical drive? Linux takes FAT doesn't it?

burner has died and it can no longer burn DVDs.

Yes it will. I prefer to slipsteam SP2 onto the XP distribution
and install from that, safer with drives over 128GB.

Not sure what you mean by 'takes'

The question about the old, existing, C drive is moot because I've
already decided to abandon it (although I'm still using it), but I'm
curious what you would find in this report that would spell it's death
knell.
And what does "offset" mean in those tables below.
Also, why do all the drives increase in temperature in unison? You said
that behavior is normal.
I found a decent article on multibooting systems:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/using/setup/expert/russel_september10.mspx
What I meant on the question of file systems was, what file system
should I use for the Linux partition? I'll use NTFS for the Windows XP
partition, and I thought that wouldn't work for Linux. I thought Linux
supported FAT. I'm working on this issue now. I'll figure it out.
There's some info here:

That varys with the drive.

Thats a relative address. Relative to the base address,
B00 D00 F00: nVIDIA nForce2 - System Controller
with that particular entry.

Drives always heat up after power on.
I didnt mean to imply that the temps will track exactly,
they dont. When you have drives stacked adjacent in
a drive bay stack, with no spare slots between them,
the drive sandwitched between two drives will get
hotter than the one at the bottom of the stack etc.

Its generally best to let the distro do what it wants with drive space.

Yes it does.

Just let the distro do what it wants, basically leave
free space for it to use and let it do what it wants.
Those would have other than 0 for the last number if the drive was dying.

That one would be other than zero if there

Urk, thats a very high value, tho you do get that with some drives.
That drive is fine too.
