Well guys – G-TECH has lost all my support. Just lost a million dollar movie on my 16TB with ATTO CARD R680. Thank god it was backed up. I’m scared shitless operating these days. I’m moving on to Sonnet RAIDS and that’s about it.

Jesse,

Thank you for all your hard work, time and effort that went into trying to solve this problem. I too had a raid config of (RAID 0) which worked great for 2 months until one fine day i had run into your exact problem while copying data from day 6 of this feature film.

I am in no position to be purchasing new raids like those above have recommended. I was prompted with the exact same (error -36) and just like you, had the raid disconnect upon start-up. I was once however able to re-mount it by clicking (auto-map) however once i restarted my mac pro tower, that option no longer worked no matter how many times i restarted, force shutdown, re initialize etc. So once again, I reconfigure to a new (raid 0) setups and yet without even any data on the raid – The problem persists.

And now.. I sit here in moments of pain, having to re-transcode 2 weeks of shooting (thank god I have a red rocket) and I’ll be reconnecting all my media to my auto-saves. I’m now rebuilding on a (raid5) configuration and hoping to god that this new raid configuration will do the trick.

Sorry to hear about your troubles.. i sympathize with you…

Hey Jesse,

Small world after all. I recently began working as an assistant editor on this MOW where we’re shooting at least 1TB/day of footage which I then transcode to ProRes LT. My problem arose with my 16TB EsPro connected via (sas) once I had roughly near 10TB of footy stored away. Unfortunately in my case, I didn’t get the chance to screen capture the error message however, like you.. I too can see the RAID and have done checks through the atto controller app and all systems read fine. My mac pro will not read the drive and I’ve got the same error message about initializing the drive. I’m curious, did the new ATTO card help you?

Cheers..
Joe
