Install Observations
I have an NV+ v2 with 3 terrabyte hard drives (four). I purchased the V1 originally and discovered it will not handle 3 terrabyte drives (bought the wrong one). I am still trying to get the system...
Also, on the desktop units, only the Pro series (2/4/6) can join a domain. Home and small businesses normally only have a workgroup and don't need the headache and overhead with maintaining a domain (multiple workgroups).
mdgm is absolutely correct about the reason you got a corrupt root error message. While normally a factory default will fully erase, reformat and reset the drives, there are instances when one must delete all the partitions (not format) an existing drive for the factory default to work. This is most common, and I have encountered it, when moving a drive from one platform to another. In my case it was a drive that had been used in an x-86 based box, replaced with a larger drive and then attempted to install (along with a clean drive of the same model) in an NV+ (v1). I had to first delete the partitions.
As you move to larger drives and more of them, the amount of time needed for a resync will increase. A single drive can be up and running from the initialization through the OS install in less than 30 minutes, because there is no resync. My resyncs with mixed 3TB and 1TB drives is now up to 10-11 hours when it was 6-8 with all 1TB drives.
