bsalvador Posted December 15, 2015 Share #1 Posted December 15, 2015 Well, I have been using the XPEnology on bare metal at home. 3 Volumes. Mobo: ASRock E3C224D2I - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G9U6FIQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 HDS: -Volume 1: 2x 2TB WD RED (Raid 1) -Volume 2: 2x 3TB WD Green (Raid 0) -Volume 3: 2x 6TB WD Red (Raid 1) But I have experienced problems with the IPMI, I could not get it working anymore, even update the BCM. Suddenly I started facing freezes and it was not possible to access the DSM, but the Web it was OK. I have disassembled the HDDs and put on another mobo with also 6 sata ports, same problem. Hangs on boot. The root cause was that the system was corrupted in the Volume 1, where it had the system installed. I was not able to reinstall without lose the data. What to do in this case? I cannot rely on a system that even with RAID1 it fails when 1 volume fails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsalvador Posted December 16, 2015 Author Share #2 Posted December 16, 2015 I have managed to boot into linux and copy the important data to a spare HDD. Lots of data, need to delete some files to make it fit in 3TB HDD. But I thing that I did not followed the correct procedure to repair the system's partition. I was afraid that I would lose the data. In the migration tutorial from Synology it says that you cannot change the HDDs position in the synology. Does it apply to XPEnology as well? I mean, should we keep track on which HDD is on which SATA port in the motherboard? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
