[Dynamix - V6 Plugins]

S3 Sleep

 

I have enabled the dynamix S3 Sleep plugin on my server to put my server to sleep. I use WOL on my phone with a shourtcut to automaticaly wake my server up at certain times. So far so good...but i have some Toshiba drives in my array that seems to not wake up proberly after a sleep cycle. Resulting in multiple errors when reading/writing on those drives. Other drives in array (Western Digital) is all good....anyone with simular experiences and solutions?

[Drive failed -> drive upgrade strategy?]

I have an array of multiple drives primarily 3tb and 6tb with 6tb parity. One of my 3tb drives have failed, and i have bought 2 new 8tb drives. What is the right approach to this array upgrade without loosing any data?

 

Failed 3tb drive -> New 8tb drive -> rebuild new drive from parity -> swap parity drive from 6tb to 8tb -> build parity ->optional swap old 3tb drive with old 6tb parity.

Or should I copy content from failed 8tb drive to external drive and replace failed drive and parity drive at the same time...or perhaps another approach?
