disks: New RAID5 array2007-05-25 08:59:59 posted by Dark-Fx
I gave in and spent the money on 4 new 500G Seagate drives. I already had 2 of them so I figured 6x500G in RAID5 would work great. Right now I have them sitting in my desktop and rsyncing all the data from the mythbox over. After it's all done (going to take a while... ~1.3T of data), I'm going to take the current arrays out of the mythbox and just have this one in it.
The 4x200G SATA array will probably be going in my desktop. I'm planning on selling the 4x300G PATA array to MTU LUG (of which I am president next year) for $75 since we're desperately low on space there too.
New array: /dev/md0 2.3T 524G 1.7T 25% /mnt Old arrays: /dev/md0 826G 802G 24G 98% /opt/raid0 /dev/md1 551G 534G 17G 98% /opt/raid1
As you can see, I definitely needed the space, because getting rid of the 708G used for mythtv recordings wasn't an option...
