Re: Resync orphaned drives in RAID 5?
If you pulled the wrong drive with an already failed, so you only have 2 in the array means SOL. I know of no way to join them back. I do know a recovery service that can strip the drives and put them back. But that gets expensive.
I would confirm the mb mod, if your going larger. Without this patch the array will not be stable and will get random drive failure due to timming issues.
Yes to building a linux box for a NAS. I was in that mode when I came across my 4500. Most new users are not aware of the Snap GOS units and think they can come here and get them running, Not that simple. Most any good hardware makes a good NAS. But the key is how user friendly and stable the OS is. The reason the guardian os units are so expensive.
