June 25, 200719 yr I'd like to suggest another addition to the GUI: Performance monitoring. There are tools available in Linux for throughput monitoring on the Ethernet, that would be great to have. Additionally, if at all possible, it would be awesome to have SATA channel throughput monitoring, I'm not sure this is doable per channel/port but it would sure be great caching a bad port or cable. One last thing, nothing to do with the GUI or the above, It would be advantageous to have the ability to temporally mount a drive of what ever size even it's bigger than the parity, just for transferring content onto the unRAIDed group. I tried to do that and the system balked, w/ a 400gb parity drive and the 500 gb temp drive, I couldn't mount the drives. This also begs the question for at least USB 2.0 support of an external, again, not unRAIDed, drive to transfer data internally.
June 26, 200719 yr I recon a temp workaround would be to unassign the paritydrive, mount the bigger drive, transfer data, unmount the bigger drive, reassign the paritydrive, run parity. cumbersome, and drives unprotected while copying. /Rene

This one is already on the list: "permit some disks to be outside the array. This will let you select devices which will not be included in the parity-protected array. " Bill
