Chewie, just trust me on this. Change to another brand (or a much older revision WD drives) and your problem will disappear like magic.
Chewie and rmp.dmd1229, memory can be an issue during upgrades, esp with 5.x GOS revisions. 512MB minimum and 1GB+ far better. Not that this is your problem(s), just an extra note. When I wrote that procedure, I already knew the guy(s) using it had 512MB+ and 5.x had not become a thing yet. Thus why omitted from the original.

Bitor, are you really this stupid? This has been debated, researched, AND SOLVED, here on the forum. WD has changed the firmware in recent times on their NON RAID EDTION drives that causes major problems in RAID arrays. This is well documented all over the internet. SOME (read: few) will work, and used to work fine several years ago, including for myself in the past, but most will no longer work well in RAID arrays.

Then as usual, your opinion is not worth much. I still have the original document
I drafted up for an email helping someone and then also posted here to help people for this procedure. Funny, it is WORD FOR WORD the same as your posted procedure above.
I did not invent the procedure of how to install an OS on a Snap Server. My money would be on some engineer at Snap Appliance. BUT, the procedure in question here is the documentation you posted above, which I indeed did write.

For others, sorry to interupt, I just can't help myself when it comes to bottom feeders like Bitor who live like a parasite on the backs of others. Sadly, he is one of the largest reasons I no longer come here beyond to read once a month or so. The work that has been done is still here for all of you to use, and truly hope it will help you solve your various problems. And, as many already have done, there is still email, LOL.
