Hello all, Happy to be here, thanks for looking and I hope this find you and yours well. Rockstor has worked well enough for me so far, despite my lack of knowledge regarding the software. I have come to my first failure.
I was able to get it mounted once with the adding degraded,ro to the extra mount options but now has not worked the last couple times I booted it trying to get more info for this post. I will need help figuring out how to locate the error-ing disk for replacement but first I need a replacement. So that leads me to my explanation of why I am leaning toward option #1.
#1 I need more space, they have a 2.5million hr mttf, at $144 one a year or so is not crazy and did I mention the space? I would do the whole make it act like it’s just a 8TB drive like the rest but in 4 months all 8 would be option #1.
#2 is a way to go, designed for nas, solid mttf, not used, I have space in my case for 4 more drives and my SAS card has 4 more connections so I can get more space. #2 cost slows the upgrade and over all the space increase is minimal with only 4 more addable.
Outside of all that, I need to know how will the system handle? usage is a $#!T ton of pron! JK
It’s my whole movie collection, lots for 4K and lots more Blu-ray.
P.S. I chose Raid6 because I want a lil’parity but Space! If it crashes and burns it just means a few months of ripping, again, Freenas… Anyway thanks again for looking and now the current stats and upgrade options with links. Cheers!
