Testing your applications for file system issues using a single non-RAID
device with one partition and an ext4 file system is a good
trouble-shooting technique. But, see my next comment.
They are empty except for the ext4 install and if pvcreate just slams
the new format regardless, I'll rsync the 2T /home back to the raid10,
and unplug that controller before I put the install dvd in. I also have
another sata controller, this one with all 16 ports installed.
And I just looked at tht pair, and acc gparted they have both been
pvcreated, so I'll leave then alone and steal the dvd cable, puttin a
new 2T drive if I can rig power to it.
As I previously suggested, and as you previously seemed agreeable to, I
think you should stop working on the Asus and build a backup server.
Good disaster preparedness expedites system operations, maintenance, and
change -- because you can take risky steps and recover if those steps fail.
This mobo also claims to be able to do the intel version of a raid on
its own sata ports. Does anyone here have experience doing that?
Yes, but I prefer software RAID -- because I can move the disks to
another computer with different hardware and the arrays will still work.
Hardware RAID typically requires compatible hardware.
