Version 6

So after running Version 6 for awhile now with AI enabled on 15 cameras I noticed I am getting a lot of "Clip: Disk can't write fast enough" errors in my BI log file. This is only occurring with my Dahua cameras. I've made several changes to try and rectify this to no avail. I contacted BI support and they told me that my old Western Digital Purple running at 5400 rpm was too slow and and there was too much data being written with 15 cameras using AI.

Before I invest in a new Purple Pro, which would run at 7200 rpm, I wanted to see if there is anyone else having the same issue?

I had this start happening about 6 months ago on v5. All the error message were for cameras located on a specific drive. Error message continued when I upgraded to v6. I ended up replacing the drive with a new Exos X24 24TB drive. Error message went away immediately.

So it was definitely a bad drive in my case. It was right at 5 years.

I have had that error off and on over the years, but it has never been a problem. I am still on V5. I have 22 cams all writing continuous to three 10TB WD Purple 7200rpm drives. The 22 cams are spread out over the three drives. Those drives are about 5 years old.

It would go away when I would reboot the server.

Is it one specific drive those messages are appearing for? It was for me.

The problem is I was getting dropped recording when those errors were appearing as BI is basically saying it can’t write to the drive. So I was getting missed footage for those time periods.

I had trouble on 2 of my installs with this. I found its best to completely uninstall CPAI and delete the folders. Then reboot. Also, I had to toggle between "NO GPU" and GPU modes in the BI AI, each time stopping the BI service and restarting it. But I did get it to work on all of my installs eventually.

Yes, this fixed it. Thanks

You got me thinking...I went and checked the logs for November and it was always disk E. Every single time. Did not realize that. That disk is the oldest one. Checked December and have not had that issue this month.

I am rebuilding my server in a few weeks to a new box that can house six HDDs and the new MB supports that many. I guess I will replace that drive at that time.

I had a 8yr old 4tb purple crap out on me a couple of weeks ago, it simply started "disappearing" from the system.
A reboot would solve it for a day or two, then about the 4th time I rebooted it, it didn't come back.
Replaced with a 10tb Purple Pro. All is now right with the world again. :)
