Stardenver

Actually I also don’t really care, as it’s just my Plex library and I have copies within the array and on external drives. But I don’t want to recovery a complete 10 TB pool, just because one drive fails. I will dig into this and read more about RAIDz-1. So far I am just familiar with classical RAID setups.

Thanks for taking the time to answer me. What kind of setup would you recommend? I would like to keep it fast and max out available storage space. Or is there any way to somehow stripe drives without losing the whole pool if a single drive fails?

Hi all first things first: all my data is backed up several times in different locations. So I can recover from a drive failure if needed. My array is protected by parity, but to save some energy I created a pool of nvme only. Btrfs and allocation profile “single”. I am wondering what’s going to happen in case one nvme drive fails. Can I just replace it and recover data from backups? Do I have to create a new pool or can I downsize the pool and stay with the nvme that are left? Thanks a lot

Hi all tl;dr: Changed my USB stick and want to do it again (all within 3 days). Is it a problem to transfer license several times? Long version: I noticed some problems with my unraid server where the usb drive/stick sometimes doesn't get recognized and therefor the system doesn't boot. I often had to unplug an replug the stick and use different ports. Once unraid was running, it was okay. Two days ago all shares disappeared while unraid was still running. As I needed the server, I used a SanDisk stick I had lying around, but had to do the manual setup, which was okay for me. I transferred the license and unraid is up and running again. Yesterday I read about problems with SanDisk and decided to buy two Samsung sticks, as recommended in some posts and videos. Both Samsung will arrive today and I would like to switch again. I am just afraid now, that using several drives and transferring the license again within that short time will cause some problems. Maybe my license will be revoked or transfer denied because of too many tries? I am unsure if I can just do it again. Will it be somehow suspicious to the registration/license servers? Any help/information would be appreciated. Thanks a lot
