well most problems comes from bad hardware usb bridges, drop bridges |
| 8 |
that dont support 4TB sata, and if you need good sata drives use some |
| 9 |
that is designed for nas disk usage, dont use desktop harddisks for |
| 10 |
backups |
| 11 |
|
| 12 |
well here i have qnap ts-419p+ where 2 of the 4 drives went mad in one |
| 13 |
week, i am still in progress to move all data from raid6 to another 2 |
| 14 |
3TB disks in a xyxel nas 325 |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
so if you make backup on regulary weekly on multiple disks its not on |
| 17 |
concern if one disk dies with the backup |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
but if backup should be safe are amazon-s3 considered ?, can be done |
| 20 |
with amanda, i just not have checked this yet, or regulary use |
| 21 |
flexbackup |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
usb bridges works well if you just remember to get usb 3.0 compatibel |
| 24 |
ones, and keep away from the one that only support upto 2TB harddisks |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
my zyxel nas, and qnap all use software raid just like gentoo so even |
| 27 |
if my nas boxes dies, i can access content on the drives just with |
| 28 |
gentoo, all i need is raidtab file to get it restored with gentoo |
| 29 |

32bit vs 64bit is not relevant for mdadm :) |
