Amahi Forums

Hello,

I've been looking at Amahi for over a year and finally decided to pull the trigger since one of my NAS units is starting to fail.

I am building a new server based on an Intel atom D510 processor, 2 GB of RAM, 1 TB hard drive and a case that can hold up to three hard drives.

I'd like to set this up as a RAID 1 array using 2 1 TB hard drives (1 new one and 1 from the NAS that I'm going to reformat). My problem is that my motherboard has only two SATA connections, and I'm not sure if I can set up a RAID array after the initial installation as I need to use one of the SATA connections for the DVD-ROM.

I've looked at alternative installation methods which differ from the "recommended" method. If I use an external DVD that is connected via USB, is that the same as using a USB stick based installer?

Can I set up a RAID array after Fedora is installed?

Thanks for any help! I can't wait to get my Amahi server up and running!

Hello,

Check out the raid page in the wiki. As for the DVD drive, although it is connected USB, it should still be recognized as a normal drive. I would think install would work fine.

hi ecgreg,

do you use a board with Realtek RTL8111DL? did it work out of the box with fedora? if not what driver did you use?
