Hello all.
I am thinking about migrating from Unraid and I like the look of OMV very much. Having played around with a test system it seems to do everything I require, only problem is that I don't have enough spare hard drives to be able to test out the SnapRAID plugin, hence these questions
My server is turned on only when I need it, serving up films, music, doing photo backups etc...
- With Unraid parity is calculated in real time, but with SnapRAID I understand that a sync command needs to be performed. Creating a Cronjob seems like the way forward, but how does this fit in with a server that isn't switched on overnight? I presume the cronjob will run the next time the server is up, but how long for example, does calculating parity take, say for 10GB of new data?
- Is the plugin robust enough to "set it and forget it" or does one need to keep checking the admin interface or hit the command line every now and then to perform syncing, fixing when necessary etc...
- Data scrubbing. This is new to me. Is it really required and what's involved from a users perspective?
Many thanks!
