I have owned a KSERVER-1500, M500 and KPlayer for close to 15 years. I have replaced several drives over the years. The penultimate replacement took a while for the replacement drive to rebuild because I kept getting these strange errors during the rebuild where I had to keep restarting the system. Eventually, it did fully rebuild the file system on the replacement drive. This most recent replacement did pretty much the same thing. It would get a little ways into the rebuild then it would throw an error and I would need to restart. It always picked up where it left off. The only reason I know that it threw an error is because I setup serial logging so I could see the errors in the log. When I got to 50% complete rebuilding the most recent, I kept getting errors pretty quickly and I didn't think it would ever complete. Then it went from 51% to 100% in about 8 hours. But after that, I still keep getting errors that result in the web interface going offline and the disc players not being able to connect to the server.
I spoke with Kaleidescape support about this and Rusty recommended that I remove drive 4 from my system because it was throwing a lot of errors. It was about 9 years old and only a 2tb drive so I removed it. Now I have 3 x 6tb drives that are all under warranty. The system will boot and stay up for a short while then it will start throwing errors. Rusty has forwarded the case to KScape engineering but I have not heard back from them yet. I suspect it is something on the motherboard that is failing which is bad because kscape does not repair these any more. I'm putting this out here to see if there is anyone here that experienced this before and/or knows how to fix it. Here is an excerpt from the log that starts with a successful boot. Thanks!
