October 3, 20196 yr Recently I've been having alot of issues with my old system locking up and I have to power cycle it. Lately it's been happening so much that it sometimes doesn't get thru Parity check. The old server is a regular PC and two 8 bay JBOD chassis connected via eSata. The bandwidth bottlenecks are epic, parity rebuilds at about 20Mb/s. I have just gotten a 24 bay Supermicro chassis. Normally, I think you would just put the disks in, and then do new config and start the array. With the unclean shutdown, can I still do this? I realize I might loose a few files that were recently written but overall it should be ok, right?
October 4, 20196 yr Community Expert You should not have to do a New Config. It should just be a case of plugging in the drives and USB stick. This presumes that the disk controller(s) on the new system report the disk serial numbers in the same format as the old one.
October 5, 20196 yr Author You are correct, thank you. The new server saw all of the drives. I just had alot of bad experiences when I had my old storage connected via USB 3.0, that I thought I was in for alot of trouble. New server is up and parity check is occurring, about twice as fast as the old server, so I'm pretty happy. Thanks again.
