  1. FC - ultimately no it won't. You gotta beat up on the disk a couple 3 times. Everytime I add a new disk to my array I give myself enough time to pre-clear it at least 3 times.
  2. I need a cache drive for my backups - all 30+ tb of them a day. I will be building a server that consists of a 4c8t 64gb intel CPU - 9 8TB drives, 5 1TB cache drives and 6 1gb nics. So I'll put all the cache drives in a jbod config. 8 of the 9 data drives as data (1 cold spare) 4 of the NICS as multihoming. 1 NIC as admin 1 nic just for looking at. With a good multihoming - I'm thinking I should be able to do 24gb in a 12 hour time span. Is my math wrong? Can I multihome this thing?
  3. Solutions are Solutions. I myself use a Sophos UTM as my router, firewall, DNS server, etc. However many people out there aren't able to do that. Quick, down & dirty solution is to use static ips.
  4. Brother. You don't even have a parity drive listed here. It's the one drive that saves you from two.
  5. You even look at that report?
  6. But I'd personally be nuking any sub 3tb disks. Your parity disks are lower in rating than a data disk. Without getting a >3tb parity disk it looks like your entire array is unprotected - please correct me if I'm wrong.
  7. It's dependent on disk space used and disk speed avail. Myself? I wouldn't worry about.
  8. Yea you can. It'll give us a read on CPU, Drive, RAM & Network activity. Not perfect but a spot to look at.
  9. With file servers we're not talking about integrated chipsets. We're talking about drive controllers. Addon cards that do nothing but control the drives. Since you're using unraid can you give us a screenshot of usage while you're rebuilding parity? (system stats, cpu, network, drives and memory?) It'd help give us an approximation of what's the holdup/slowdown. Maybe wait 15/20 minutes before you take the screen shot. ***edit I mean a screenshot of systemstats plugin
  10. I think either your NIC is dead, or we're on a dead port on the router - or the cable is shot. Swap ports on the router, see if it comes up. If it doesn't, are you able to swap the cable? If you test with a different cable and still no go. I'd be 20 bucks the NIC died. Flashing lights aren't software based - that's 100% hardware based. I get them on machines that aren't even powered on - it's a network connection saying 'hi!' *** edit Heck, boot into the bios. Your nic will flash if your in the bios, no nothing. If it's not flashing we're down to physical issues.
  11. the eth0 broadcast in that screenshot is 0.0.0.0 on unraid can you ping itself by ip address? *** edit No lights on the back of the card?
  12. What's your CPU usage while doing a rebuild? My initial guess is it's your SATA controller - gigabytes website doesn't even say what it is on that motherboard. I run two https://www.amazon.com/IBM-Serveraid-M1015-Controller-46M0831/dp/B0034DMSO6 on my system. Each one capable of handling 8 drives with limited CPU overhead. I did have to reflash them however.
  13. if you could, give me the ifconfig from the terminal on the unraid server.
  14. remove the static mappings on the router. Let the server itself say "I am THIS!" ***EDIT As long as the server proclaims it's IP is outside of the routers DHCP scope - it'll be fine. The server says I'm .100 router realizes it can only go to .75, allows the self assigned static IP to stick around
