pbodq2 Posted February 14, 2019 Share #1 Posted February 14, 2019 (edited) Currently, I run 6.2-23739 Jun 1.03b DS3617xs smoothly on Asrock J3455. Four hard disks form a SHR on sockets Intel1 Intel2 ASM1 ASM2. If I plug an extra Marvell HBA (the driver is compatible) on the motherboard and add the fifth empty hard disk. I doubt whether the the socket sequence will be intervened and it re-sorts on certain criteria. Let's say controller vendor ID/Name alphabetically? Hence, the RAID collapses. Or the DSM / loader is so smart that it could mark IDs on each drive and keep the sequence correctly? Does anyone have experience on it?

pbodq2 Posted February 28, 2019 Author Share #2 Posted February 28, 2019 tested on my environment. Adding that HAB won't break the sequence / array :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flyride Posted February 28, 2019 Share #3 Posted February 28, 2019 MDRAID writes a superblock on each array member so it can still work if the drives are encountered out of order. That said, it's possible to defeat it if enough bad things happen to the array (missing members, etc). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
