January 1, 201610 yr Happy New Year to the unRAID Community! I hope the heads are not too sore and you all had a great night. A personal thanks from me to all those who have helped me on the forums this year! To set us all off on the new year, how about a quote: * “And now we welcome the new year, full of things that have never been” — Rainer Maria Rilke *Ponders* Full of things that have never been ...... like Dual Parity in unRAID! On a serious note, here is to a great year for us all in this wonderful little community and lets all collectively hope there is a little less conflict and a little more happiness in the world wherever we live and come from!
January 1, 201610 yr Happy New Year to all. One prediction I think can be very safely made (at least I certainly hope so) ... is that on the NEXT New Year we'll all be running with dual parity :)
January 1, 201610 yr One prediction I think can be very safely made (at least I certainly hope so) ... is that on the NEXT New Year we'll all be running with dual parity :) Happy New Year too I think it is safe to predict that dual parity will come in 2016, but is everybody going to use it?
January 1, 201610 yr I suppose it's more accurate to say, instead of ".. on the NEXT New Year we'll all be running with dual parity ...", that we'll "... we'll all be able to run with dual parity." Agree that some will choose not to add a 2nd parity drive -- although that's an intentional choice to forego a MAJOR improvement in the fault tolerance of your system.
January 1, 201610 yr And it wouldn't be a new year if I didn't feel like I needed to spend some money...
January 2, 201610 yr I did NOT say that !! I said that choosing to not install a 2nd parity drive is making an "... intentional choice to forego a MAJOR improvement in the fault tolerance of your system." That choice isn't necessarily a bad one => if you have a complete set of backups and maintain directories of your individual drives, you may be willing to simply live with single parity, and if you encounter a 2nd failure during a rebuild, simply do a New Config with two new drives and repopulate the 2 failed drives from your backups. But if you don't have backups, a 2nd parity drive significantly reduces the likelihood that you'll regret that choice.
January 2, 201610 yr I did NOT say that !! Oh I know [emoji1] just giving you trouble. Clearly I knew that ... just poking back at ya :)
