OMV - mdadm --> Upgrade to Smapraid + AUFS (or else?) install problem
Hi!
2 years ago i have built a small NAS.
Based on asrock a330GC (2core 4 thread Atom + 2x512MB DDR2 RAM) 2 sata onboard and a PCI
extension slot.
I installed a 8 port sata card in it. (highpoint rocket raid 1820 ---> recognized flawlessly
)
Then I installed the OMV on a 40GB IDE notebook drive plugged in an 2,5-->3,5 IDE adapter. ( I
wanted 10 sata port XD)
My data drives was first 3x160GB in RAID5 mdadm and then I installed another one and grow it
up.
This setup was running without problem 1 year then I added a 300GB drive with ext4 (not in the
array)
6month back I removed from my workstation 2 big drive filled with data, formatted with ntfs ,
try it out maybe OMV can recognize it. No problem at all.(except speed)
This drives are a 3TB WD green and a 1,5 TB Samsung ecodrive.
Here I'm now.
I would like to move all my data drives in this nas.
So the what I want.
I want to remove all the small drives from it, (after backuping them).
Then install 2x500Gb in RAID1 mdadm for work drive (3ds max, photoshop etc...)
And I'd like to buy 3x3Tb drive and make a Snapraid from them, fill them with data and install
the existing 3TB wd in it (All together 4 drive 1 parity (3x3TB WD RED new, 1 WD 3TB green
old)
I installed the new 1.9 IMV on a virtual machine to try out the snapraid.
I'm quiet confused.
I created 1 drive for the OMV . Installed. Then add 3 more drive .
Added 1 to parity and to to content and data.
Checked the pool option.
I shared the Disk 1-2-3 (snapraid disks to see that's going on)
1-2 is the data 3 is the parity.
I palced som files on the 1'st drive and some on the second.
Synced them.
Now i see in the pool share DISK1 and DISK2. But what i thought is there is no subfolder here, just my files on the 2 drives.
So I installed AUFS (half hour to find out it has new name.... :S)
I added the Disk1 and Disk2 in the AUFS. Then shared it.
And in the aufs folder I don't see nothing what's on my disk.
I like to have 1 big volume for the movies, pictures etc.
But if there is a MOVIES folder on DISK1 and another on the DISK2 - how can i browse both in 1 directory ? Is it possible ?
How should I set it up?
