Parity drive selection


Recommended Posts

Thanks but I'm building my own UnRAID server so "top bay" doesn't mean anything to me.

 

So is the "top bay" drive 1 of the onboard IDE controller, channel 1?

 

If so, can I change that to say drive 1 of the onboard SATA controller channel 1 in my case?

 

I want UnRAID OS to use the hard drive I specify as parity.  Is that possible?

Yes you can change the physical channel of the drive for parity.  There is a config file with parameters in it that has the major and minor number for the device location.  However it is not recommended to switch these around (this is what the paper says that came with my usb drive).  It would probally just be easier to leave the parity as Master IDE 1 though.
