    Default is always raid1, but with 4 SSDs you can change the profile to raid10.
  2. JorgeB
    You can on 6.2-beta.
  3. JorgeB
    You can.

    It will only repair that disk. You should abort the rebuild if it's still going.

    A rebuild would normally never start on its own. You shouldn't be doing a rebuild and xfs_repair at the same time, both operations will slow down considerably especially because you trying to repair the emulated disk. Testdisk main function is to recover damaged partitions, did you actually try to mount the old disk on unraid?

    If power consumption is a concern I would avoid those CPUs, be surprised if you get <100W idling with just board, cpu and a couple of disks.

    The script doesn't recognize this attribute, but since it changed it's in the report, like dani mentioned, it changed for the better, so nothing to worry about.

    Performance should be similar, I always use onboard for parity mainly for the HDD led, this way shows activity during writes and parity checks.

    There are two different plugins, the original one on the first post uses the old script and it's not v6.2 compatible, the new beta is: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39985.msg453938#msg453938

    Are you testing a disk before preclearing it? This test is to confirm the disk was correctly precleared, it will always fail before a preclear.

    If you started the array with it missing it won't let you put it back, but you can rebuild to the same disk, if it's a small SSD it will rebuild fast and you'll stay protected until the 3TB disk upgrade.

    If the new server is going to have parity during the transfer speed will be the same (assuming you have gigabit ), so do it however it's easier for you, without parity adding the old disks should be a little faster.
  14. JorgeB
    Pretty sure they do support >2.2tb Yes, they do.

    Since you don't have extra ports and if you have one available, put the old disk in another computer, easiest way would probably be with an unraid trial key, if the disk mounts you should be able to copy most data to your server, I never tried it but some people have also used a Ubuntu live cd/pen, supposedly there are also windows utils that can read xfs formatted disks.
  16. JorgeB
    No, disks are traked by serial number, you can change controller.

    Put all Samsungs HD203WI on the SAT2 and they should be fine, they don't like AHCI.
  18. JorgeB
    Old disk does have pending sectors, so a new config is not a good option, hopefully you'll be able to recover most data from it.
  19. JorgeB
    Did you try the new plugin I linked above?
  20. JorgeB
    In this case it was always going to stay unmountable at the end of it. You can, but you have to a new config and sync parity, if the old disk is really bad it's possible it won't complete, it's difficult to say more without seeing at leat a SMART report. I believe the best option for this is using a live linux cd/pen drive like Ubuntu but maybe someone else knows of a windows util.
  21. JorgeB
    There's one more thing you can try, though I think it's only worth trying if the rebuild started with the disk mounted, and for some reason didn't finished correctly. Stop array, unassign the disk (select no device), start array, if the emulated disk is still unmountable I think the old disk is your best bet, if it's mountable reassign the disk to rebuild again.
  22. JorgeB
    You didn't answer a question, was the new disk unmountable from the beginning of the rebuild? If yes, your parity probably wasn't 100% synced, in this case and if the old disk is readable it's probably your best option.
  23. JorgeB
    Assume when you say cleared you mean precleared using the script/plugin. In that case something went wrong during the rebuild, as xfs_repair is not finding a valid filesystem to repair. Do you do periodic parity checks? Can you still read data from the old disk?
  24. JorgeB
    Yes it did! With a preclear going it just took 1 or 2 seconds more than usual to start the array after a new config. Thanks! Great work!
  25. JorgeB
    Try the new preclear beta plugin, it's different so maybe it works: http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=39985.msg453938#msg453938
