I can dedicate just a couple hard drives to raid 1, and leave the others out of it, correct?

For example, if I had 4 HDDs, I could use two for Raid 1, and the other two would just be regular drives.

ok, thanks.

After using WHS for several years, I've vowed never to use drive spooling again.

I would like to duplicate the contents of one of my hard drives onto another, for backup purposes.

What automated methods exist that will update drive 2, when drive 1 changes?

thanks!

It appears I do have drive issues.

I connected a monitor to my headless server and saw the errors.





I'll see what fsck finds

I am copying files from one server (WHS) to a new Amahi 7 server. I have copied about 2 TB so far, and an error has now popped up, and I no longer have permission to write to the amahi share.

ya, deleting the partition and creating a new one still drops it down to 2TB.

I got it working by using: parted /dev/sdX mkpart primary ext4 2048 (with no number).

You're then prompted with 'end?', and I entered -1, then ignored the unaligned partition warning.
