Hi guys!
I Went to the lengthy process of backing up all my customer files and then buying 6 new 3tb drives that I bought at different times...I created a ZFS pool with three mirrored pairs which is an expensive way of doing things but been nagged about security ....so I listened!
I add the disks by disk-id and checked that every thing was OK and then went about adding my customer files.....I don't leave my computers on 24/7 just find it a waste of electricity and don't need access 24/7...
I have had a couple of hickups regarding a single disk been missing...and then coming up errors etc...
Thankfully disk by-id lets me see which culprit is causing the problem....
The system is in a "scrub" state to repair the system....I used up the last of my 3tb drives last week (spare) and have no more but my supplier is sending a new one that will be here tomorrow....I have spent a lot of money with this company and they don't question anything...we will send a new one to replace the damaged one under guarantee...
This is the state of play at the moment so that you can see the scrub in progress...
Not asking for help because that isn't necessary just little info for those getting into ZFS
Should of said...my supplier sells the harddrives by serial number...that way they keep track of guarantees on Products...not all companies do that and lose Money....
