        Yeah, even for IT shops that aren't taking on that kind of liability and earning double or quadruple per hour, they can't afford that kind of insurance 95% of the time. He's taking on 100x the liability with no profits. Impossible.

          Just wrote a little bash script for my dad to sort files, create directories based on filenames, move files into these directories etc on his DIY-NAS.

            Just figured out that CentOS 7 is missing a driver for the cheap JBOD we have, wouldn't boot the install script for me, but 6.5 seems to be fine. Wonder if I can do the upgrade to 7 after the 6.5 installer is done.

              What kind of JBOD is that? Normally, there's just an SAS expander?

                Yep. I'm thinking it's actually the super cheap fake-raid card included with the thing. It's the only card I have that I know is compatible with the expanders used. The system that it was connected to decided to die. If you're interested in how it goes @thwr, I'll just start another thread.

                Netinstall is downloading the initial system image right now, I'll tell you more once the install finishes (tomorrow 😕 )

                  If it was FakeRAID, the JBOD portion should just work.

                        Well.... without the adapter, the enclosure is kinda just a heater.

                          If it's a JBOD, it would always need MD RAID. If it had RAID on itself, it would be DAS 🙂

                            It actually has a BIOS you can use to configure a RAID array, I've got it configured to just pass the drives to the system. I think I'm sort of silly for even using it in the first place, but it made for a good backup target till the system died. Hopefully it wasn't the card. Even if the card went bad, it shouldn't be that much money to get another eSATA adapter.

                                Any, since you can put 60TB SSDs in them 😉

                                          Telling the truth about vendors, can't have that. I think the only reason my posts about Lenovo stick around is because they're in the special spicy peppers group the majority of people can't see.
