Just my 2-cents...

 

I think the 'Cancel' button during a drive rebuild should be less obvious or even removed.  I recently rebuilt a failed drive and I liked monitoring the progress of the rebuild process by hitting the 'Refresh' button on occassion.  This button is very close to the 'Cancel' button.  I know I'm being silly, but it would have been catastrophic if for some reason that 'Cancel' button was accidently pressed.

 

My solution was to monitor the rebuild progress using unMenu's interface instead.  As an added plus, unMenu automatically refreshed itself so I didn't have to hit any 'Refresh' button.  (Very nice, Joe.  Thanks.)

 

On another note...

 

Exactly what would be the consequence of a power-failure during a drive rebuild?  Would I have been able to restart the rebuild process?  Or, would a power-failure result in a complete loss of the data?  How about if unRAID detected a 'write' failure to the new drive?  Would unRAID 'disable' the new drive and if so would I get a second-chance to rebuild to a 2nd new drive?

I'd be interested in this one as well.  Even though I have an UPS, it won't sustain the system for a extended power-outage during a drive rebuild - which takes about 18 hours for me.

You would just need to re-start the rebuild.

 

It would re-start at the beginning of the rebuild process... but you can re-start, even if you lose power, or accidentally cancel.

PS.  My UPS gives me about 8 to 10 minutes run-time.  I doubt it would last through a full rebuild either.

That's great news.  I've become increasingly paranoid about power outages since I recently moved to a small rural community - where power outages seem to be a common occurrence.
