Hello

went to many forums and no luck so want to try my luck here as i am stuck
so i got FlexRAID Combo on 21 days trial to test it out yesterday i am using windows 7 x64bit and using assassin Manual to setup http://assassinhtpcblog.com/server-flexraid/
First issue i run into with FlexRAID was Port 8080 as my syetem uses SabNZBD so i change the port for sab and restarted the pc and FlexRAID worked. i added all my drives to FlexRaid and then “Initialize Raid” and since yesterday 9 PM to 11 Am the system show 0% done, around 1 PM today PST time zone it show 1% done at 82 MB and then at 2PM it show 100% completed but it also show some kind of error in blue writing i was not able to click on it and when i try to go to directory to check the logs i get access denied.

so then i tried to go with assassin Manual to start the storage pool but that option is not available to me also ? so now i am stuck not sure what to do as all my drives show up in FlexRAID but not under windows. i also tried this manual
http://wiki.flexraid.com/2011/08/24/getting-started-creating-your-first-flexraid-configuration/

i have 10 drives of different sizes and one 4TB Parity drive brand new and toatl of 27TB but actual data are around 23TB on all drives

Hello Also notice in Device manager i have option to resume the Initializations so i clicked on it but nothing happened so then
Deleted the configurations and starting over with this article http://wiki.flexraid...-configuration/

it been over 4 hours and status show 0% and speed show 1.03 MB
one drive and one Parity drive Initialize RAID just to see if it works


can someone advise here pls as this is my first time working on FlexRAID and my plan was to buy FlexRAID combo deal of 59.95




Thanks
 
I don't know of your specific problems but I used this tutorial when I installed FlexRAID and I don't seem to have any issues:

http://linustechtips.com/main/topic...etup-flexraid-on-your-windows-storage-system/

It roughly takes 1 hour per TB to assemble the parity. You probably need at least another hard drive for parity for that much space.

More tips:

Also do this before you start the tutorial up top:

I hope that helps.

Hello
you are so kind so i will start looking at the url but you said it take 1 Hour per TB
One drive and one backup parity drive 4TB, after almost 4 hours it show 1% progress with speed of 0.93MBs

The data drive is 2TB and it has 400 GB free space so i really dont know what is going on here
