March 23, 200719 yr I want to fake a HDD failure with 14 HDDs attached, the HDD I wish to "fail" contains CCTV data that has been archived to another UnRaid so isn't critical if I lose it. Only problem I have is that with 14 HDDs attached I don't have a spare 300gb+ HDD to swap it with. Is there a way I can use the same HDD with the data removed and rebuild to it? I'll put the "Failed" HDD on my 8 port IDE Controller Card. Mark.
March 27, 200719 yr Author Due to various reasons I can't get to 14 HDDs at the moment. 1./ My 8 port IDE controller doesn't want to work with UnRaid 2./ The Promise TX2 2 card Bios Limit 3./ My Mobos Onboard IDEs take parity recalc to 12000+ minutes! 4./ I currently only own 3 available Sata HDDs So I've faked a bad HDD under 4.0beta4 with 9 HDDs (2 Promise controllers full of & 3 Sata HDDs). I've done this test twice (well the first time with only 6 IDE HDDs) and both times have restored the HDD from parity just fine. I will attempt a 14 HDD setup HDD rebuild just as soon as I either resolve the issues above or I buy more Sata HDDs. I'm not short of starage space right now so I won't be buying more disks soon tyhough. Mark.
