Hey Community,
ive built some NAS and SAN systems for private and commercial use. But now its time to make my first OWM install and i want to share my experience.
Picked Hardware:
ASRock Q2900M
BeQuite - TFX Power 2 300W
8 * 3TB WD Red @ IBM1015 (aka LSI 9211-8i)
2 * 4GB DDR3
120 GB SSD
Silverstone SST-GD08B
Installation Issues:
- The SDD was not new, so there was somekind of a broken mbr. The Installation was looping around the partitioning. Aborted, wiped /dev/sda (dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda bs=512 count=8)... rebooted and here we go.
- My first contact with the Web-GUI ... WOW! nuf said (just a little annoying Session Managment)
- Just wondering about the Small Swap Partition
In this moment:
md0 : active raid5 sdi[7] sdh[6] sdg[5] sdf[4] sde[3] sdd[2] sdc[1] sdb[0]
20510945280 blocks super 1.2 level 5, 512k chunk, algorithm 2 [8/8] [UUUUUUUU]
[=============>.......] resync = 68.3% (2003759956/2930135040) finish=304.1min speed=50754K/sec
After that, i will plex givin a try.
