Wonder whether joe has something to cool him down

OK, getting back to the original topic,

I just bought 4 Seagate 320GB 7200.10 drives

Formated to 4 299GB drives
Raid 5 started as 910GB, but after creating backup drive it is the size below.

Raid 5 config with original power supply, total size = 897,834
Software 4.0.860 (US)
Hardware 2.0.1
BIOS 2.0.252

Took about 45 minutes to format all 4 drives, two hours to create raid 5, and 24 hours to build backup drive.

Here is the log from the point I put them in and turned it on:

Okay, two things...

#1, stupid question or not (to you IT types), what are these log entries all about?

I DHCP: T2 length was 0 is now 453600 Network 10/13/2006 9:29:20 PM
I DHCP: T1 length was 0 is now 302400 Network 10/13/2006 9:29:20 PM

#2, and more on topic. Other than the time it took to build the backup drive, does anyone see any issues? I didn't see any problems in there...

Okay, okay, so three things. The real question is, if you break that RAID, and I am talking about removing a drive as if one failed (not doing it in the GUI), wipe that removed drive and stick it back in (simulating a replacement), will it format and rebuild correctly? And, with large amounts of data there that can verified as still good when it is done? (say with CRC codes or something)

This was the only thing I picked up on. This may be the adjustment #1.

I just had a brain fart....
What would happen with the 4 x 320gig Raid5 Array, if we were to change the block size to a higher value. I don't recall the default size. For testing purposes if default is 4k size and bump it to 16k. Would it help on the 1-1.2T limit?????

It would reduce some large number by 25%

Phoenix32 · 10-17-2006, 01:34 PM

I dunno about the bock size part, maybe is all I can say... But as for that file system warning, I got a similar warning when my 4000 was doing the RAID 5 setup for 4 x 30 GB drives the other day (sorry, I cleared the log, so I can't show it to you). So I am wondering if that is just a normal thing for the 4000.
