December 14, 201312 yr A collegues server wouldn't boot. In my Win7 laptop the stick isn't detected. The disks are labeled, so I know which one is parity. Can I just create a 5.0.4 stick and add data disks to a slot, is it important which order or which slot? Start the array and then add the parity disk and built parity?
December 14, 201312 yr Start a new setup like you described. Assign all disk except parity and hit start. If any say format? Then stop as the is the parity drive. Otherwise stop the array again, assign parity and u it start. Parity will now rebuild.
December 14, 201312 yr Or you can assign all disk as data disks. The parity drive will be the unformatted one. Move the parity drive to the parity slot and start the array.
December 15, 201312 yr Author Does it happen often that a USB stick suddenly dies. Luckily he had a USB stick with license key ready. System is up now after following your suggestions.
December 15, 201312 yr Does it happen often that a USB stick suddenly dies. I'll make up a statistic on the spot and say it happens about as often as a hard drive failure. Actually, it's probably a lot less often, but often enough that Lime offers multiple license discounts for pretty much that reason. It's a good idea to have that second license waiting around for a flash failure if your server is that important to you that you can't wait a few days to plead your case to Tom and get a new stick licensed.
