Ok, aquired two new drives, going to re-do this all with RaidZ1
Is this kosher -- only drives I have right now:
3x2tb Seagate 5900rpm Green 512b
1x2tb Seagate 5900rpm Green 4k
1x3tb Seagate 5900rpm Green 4k
Have them in a RaidZ1, actually showing about 9TB usable space...it is using the whole...
I'm somewhat back up and running but this new disk is a Seagate S2000DL003 4k sector disk. My other 2TB's are 512b ST32000542AS
I cannot add it back in because of sector alignment...
cannot attach c2t5000C500370C382Bd0 to c2t5000C50029ECDE52d0: devices have different sector alignment
Help!!
Have 2 Mirror'd vdev's inside a Pool, drive has failed on one.
I marked it as removed and now inside my pool I have one mirror and another device standalone. I cannot seem to add this new drive back into a mirror with the now standalone drive that was previously mirrored.
How do I do this...
having an issue with this setup. If I write a file via SMB, I can't read/access it via NFS.
I am assuming this has something to do with the default SMB settings in napp-it and the ACL maps...??
What the the easiest, most direct way to fix this?
Guys,
Putting the finishing touches on my ESXi/ZFS box.
I have it up and running with 3x2tb Seagate drives (got them on Craigslist for $70 each still in warranty, can't beat that price.) Problem is for me to get a 4th, it would be ridiculously expensive.
I do have a 1.5TB Samsung drive...
After researching for a while on where I should migrate my storage to here is what I am thinking of. I am looking to go with _Gea's guide of the BSD, ESXi combo.
Old box - HP Mediaserv EX470 w/ a total of 2tb storage.
Purchased so far.
Xeon E3-1230
Tyan S5512WGM2NR (Onboard LSI 2008)
8GB ECC...
