Hi there!
First of all, I apologize for my poor english. Hey, I'm French
I recently discovered Openmediavault after several years without a NAS (my first one was based on freenas, almost 7 years ago.
Nevertheless, I needed to build a NAS in order to make use of all the HDD I've got, and in order to build a 'data storage in the closet'.
So I gathered an old motherboard with a Dual Core E5200 and 2 Gigs of RAM, and installed 9 (unused) hdd of several sizes along with ARRAKIS version
Everything went (almost fine) until I asked to build a RAID5 with 4 of the 1TB HDD.
The process as been along for almost two days now, and I'm asking myself if I've missed something or done something wrong.
Does building up a RAID5 on 4x1TB takes so long?
Should I manually shut down the NAS and start all over again, being more cautious about something?
Thanks in advance for any help!
