    Hardware Raid + Dynamic NTFS Volume in Ubuntu?

    I currently have an Areca Raid controller with 2 Raid 6 arrays in a WHS box. They are dynamic ntfs volumes. Can i use these in Linux and expand them much like in windows? Also can I read/write these volumes from a windows machine if they are kept ntfs?

    Switch from WHS to Linux?

    I just built a new server that is sitting on my living room floor. I currently have a WHS server for all of my media that serves 3 HTPCs around the house. With W7 being "replaced" with W8 (which I do not like) and WHS support ending I was considering moving to linux. My media is stored on 2...

    Replacing failed drive in RAID 6...Same Capacity vs Same RPM?

    I dropped a drive in a Raid 6 array that was a Seagate 1.5TB 7200rpm. I am looking for a replacement, not sure what would be best: Seagate 1.5TB 5900RPM - same capacity down to the bit I would guess bc it probably uses the same platters. Seagate/WD 2.0TB 7200RPM - bigger capacity so only...

    Dropped Array, need help! Areca 1880 + HP SAS

    I logged on to my server and noticed it had dropped both of my arrays out of Windows. I logged into the utility and both arrays were missing and the disks were "not there". I rebooted the computer and it picked up one of the arrays again just fine, "Samsung 2TB", the other array however was...

    Hardware raid rebuild - data corruption

    In this case I knew I would because I had 3-4 failed rebuilds due to a bad SAS Expander, plus windows chkdsk and re-indexing failed twice. I knew there was no hope for the data. I just meant in general with hardware raid vs some other (ZFS). What do you mean "URE"?

    Hardware raid rebuild - data corruption

    How realistic is it to go through a rebuild of a hardware array and not get data corruption? I went through a rebuild on a Raid 6 array recently, mind you I anticipated high levels of corruption due to some failed Windows indexing and other things...but many video files came back in the right...

    Hard Drive "Failed" - Test fine

    I have a Samsung F4 2TB Drive that failed in my raid array, I put it back in and all of the "attributes" are fine compared to the "threshold" values set by Areca, additionally it tests fine using HDD test utility on its own. Should I keep it out of the raid array or is it ok to try and use it...

    Areca 1880 Raid 6 Rebuild - Data lost?

    http://www.recovermyfiles.com/ Think this will help me recover the files? I'm pretty sure it will just be the file system that is jacked, not the data itself.

    Areca 1880 Raid 6 Rebuild - Data lost?

    I recently upgraded my motherboard and ended up putting my Raid 6 array on a HP SAS Expander. Long story short the SAS Expander turned out to be bad, but I would like to walk through the sequence of events to see if I am hosed or not: Areca 1880i - 8x2TB Raid 6 array: (1) - Drive "failed"...
