Mirror existing NAS to new NAS?
Hi everyone, After my close call with almost losing a volume (viewtopic.php?f=66&t=55910), it is time to seriously consider moving to dual-redundancy for my main NAS with a complete kept-up-to-date...
The new NAS is here and configuration is proceeding well.
I'll update again when I have the new box fully configured.
- Firmware has been updated with a single drive as suggested by mdgm - it shipped with 4.2.15 which meant that the installed 3TB was incorrectly recognized as a 1TB drive. Updating to 4.2.19 followed by a factory default corrected this.
- The upgraded memory passed 7 runs of the Boot Menu >> Memory Test.
- All 6 drives were installed and a factory default performed again to build the array with dual redundancy.
- I interrupted the sync stage of the volume creation to do Boot Menu >> Test Disks. The packing of the HDDs from NewEgg wan't the best and I want to know sooner rather than later if any of the drives were damaged in shipment. The box is currently 75% through checking the disks so things are looking pretty good.
I'll update again when I have the new box fully configured.
