    Fair enough, I misinterpreted what you said as RAID is only useful to make sure that you have availability.


    To be honest, I'm still debating even just going pure JBOD for the media storage. Yeah it would be a pain in the ass to retrieve the lost media, but is it worth giving up 4TB of space (in my case).


    Do most JBOD setups fill linearly (fill disk1, then 2, etc) or do they distribute evenly?

    I think a good backup is most important for data you don't want to lose. I think redundancy is more about availability and getting back to a working state faster. With RAID 5 you lose a drive. The data is still on the other drives so it is just a matter of putting in new disk and rebuilding the RAID.


    Some of you might be interested in this:


    How to share your data across Drives with symlinks and no pooling.


    Part of it comes to level of convenience and likely failures.
    Given that (in my case) this is all replaceable media, backup isn't necessary. My blurays and the Internet are the backup.


    The most common problem at this point is single drive failure, and raid will handle that.


    So raid 5 will let you survive a single failure without requiring huge amounts of space for backup, only sacrificing a single drive of space. The work to replace the lost drive is also less than if I used jbod and had to rerip or redownload the contents.

    Here's the chain of dependencies that I followed.


    So my issue installing this appears to be related to the Wheezy backports. I need those for the ethernet drivers.
    However, I can install standard nzbget via apt-get, so I will have to forgo the plugin for now.

    I'm running into this dilemma myself right now.


    Most of what is on the current nas I'm building will be stuff like TV and Movies. These are things I really don't need a backup of, they can be easily re-ripped/downloaded. However, losing a single drive would be a pretty serious pain comparatively. So it seems to me, either using mdadm raid 5, or jbod and snapraid would make the most sense.


    What are your thoughts on those kinds of storage requirements?

    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
     wpasupplicant : Depends: libpcsclite1 but it is not installable
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).



    attempted an apt-get -f install but the change list looks a bit much...


    Code
    root@pentos:/etc/apt# grep -R kral *
    preferences.d/99omv-extras-org:Pin: release n=kralizec, origin packages.omv-extras.org
    preferences.d/99omv-extras-org:Pin: release n=kralizec-backports, origin packages.omv-extras.org
    sources.list.d/backports.list:deb http://packages.omv-extras.org/debian/ kralizec-backports main
    root@pentos:/etc/apt#


    and to be sure:

    Code
    root@pentos:~# cat /etc/apt/sources.list.d/omv-extras-org-*
    # Custom repos
    # Regular omv-extras.org repo
    deb http://packages.omv-extras.org/debian/ stoneburner main
    root@pentos:~#

    try apt-get dist-upgrade


    You might need to run omv-release-upgrade after that.


    Code
    root@pentos:~# apt-get dist-upgrade

    Building dependency tree

    The following packages have been kept back:
      openmediavault
    0 upgraded, 0 newly installed, 0 to remove and 1 not upgraded.
    root@pentos:~#


    and then omv-release-upgrade does the same, doesn't install OMV.


    apt-get -f install does nothing either.


    Should I try removing the package?

    Just so you don't run into another issue of typing the wrong command... when you get to that point, it's omv-release-upgrade (not update)... :)


    Glad you appear to be on your way to resolving this.


    Right, that's what I'm running and that currently isn't working.




    Try ifconfig up eth0,


    then dhclient eth0


    check with ifconfig again
