I'm testing a scenario and reaching my limits somewhere. I am currently playing with a VM with two virtual hard disks of 35GB each. Here I installed Windows Server 2019 Standard. I have set up a mirror for hard disk C via the disk management. The system automatically converted both disks into dynamic disks. If I now remove the main hard disk during operation (boot partition), the system first runs as usual and then reboots. Here I didn't manage to get the system up and running again with the Windows Server installation ISO. What do you have to do to run Software Raid 1 to get the system up and running again after a crash? Is it possible to create a recovery boot image etc.?

I know that raid with a raid card is the more reasonable choice, but I would like to do that with the software raid and hope someone can help me here.

Many thanks in advance!]]>

Compared to RAID-1, RAID-5 has the advantage that more usable net storage space is created from the physical gross storage space of the disks.

Some time ago someone told me, however, that it is much easier to recover data from a defective RAID-1 due to the complete redundancy (i.e. in much the same way as from a hard disk without RAID) than from a RAID-5, where the data is distributed over three hard disks. I am thinking in particular of cases where the whole RAID system is broken. E.g. in case of a water damage it happens regularly that the RAID controller first writes randomly confused stuff on the disks, until it (finally) chews completely.

Is it true that it is easier to recover data from a DEFECT RAID-1 array than from a DEFECT RAID-5 array?]]>

Thinclient with AMD Sempron 2100+ (1GHz) as software RAID5 via MDADM in TinyCore Linux?

Is that enough for pure data storage? I don't need more than about 50MB/s. 4 disks a 2TB are used.

Who has experience with CPU requirements for software RAID?


I know that this is definitely not a fast solution, but is it even possible to "use" something like this?


I can't test how it works at the moment - it will take 1-2 weeks until I have the time. Therefore a short feedback would be very much appreciated.]]>

A geographical proximity (Stuttgart) would be fine for me. I'd like to be able to look over my shoulders so that I can see which files or directories are needed. Should anyone have any tips on how to find such a person quickly and easily, I would also be happy to hear from them!
Thank you very much!]]>

I have a QNAP TS-1079 Pro NAS server with 10x TB hard disks (Seagate ST4000VN008).
On the NAS are 2 drives / volumes, each with 5 HDD's in RAID6. For each drive, there is a Windows share (SMB 2.0).

If I now connect a share on a Windows Server 2016 for example and try to copy a 3GB file on it, the process is stoping after a view seconds. After that both shares a not longer availabe and accessable from the windows server. But the QNAP GUI works very well.
For testing propose Ihave setup the shares via iSCSI & FTP but same issue herer. 

The latest firmware version (4.2.1) is installed on the QNAP. 2 weeks ago, the NAS was already set to factory settings back to eliminate errors in the configuration. But nothing helps.

Any helps with this issue?]]>
