pwn4fun Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 (edited) Recently decided to upgrade server but have an issue with my current setup. Currently running each drive through a raid card without JBOD support. Not a problem (I thought) Ill just run each drive in a raid 0 by itself. Works but now that I'm looking to upgrade I realize what a mistake that was. Is there anyway to build a new machine and use the same drives without data loss?

JorgeB Posted October 11, 2018 Share Posted October 11, 2018 Most likely won't work, but it will depend on the RAID controller used, it might be possible to do a new config, you'd need to test if a disk mounts connected to an HBA or onboard SATA port. Quote Link to comment
Ducky Posted October 12, 2018 Share Posted October 12, 2018 As Johnnie said, whilst it 'may' be possible, in reality I would brace yourself for a rebuild. I had the same issue after swapping to a JBOD card, in the end I started again and restored my data from a backup. Quote Link to comment
pwn4fun Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 Solution (not ideal) but it worked for me. As I had no backup at the time and could not afford to lose any data. Remove 1 drive from the raid card and plug it into the motherboard. Rebuild array. Repeat steps 1-2 until all drives are plugged into the motherboard and the final rebuild is finished. Swap into new system with a raid card in JBOD mode. Quote Link to comment
