Hi, thanks for proxmox ve, great product.
Seen info on this but across multiple threads.
Installed V1.9 - Adaptec 5405Z with 4 x 2TB SATA drives.
Created 3.8TB RAID 10 array. Then discovered the 2TB limit.
Would prefer 1 large array but for now I deleted it and created 2 x RAID 10 arrays:
Boot array = 1.5TB. Array 2 = 2.3TB.
2.3TB array for vzdump backups which will rsync (or similar) with another location.
After Proxmox install I did this (from Udo on another thread):-
fdisk /dev/sdb
mkfs.ext3 /dev/sdb1
mkdir /mnt/vzdump_raidvol2
Edit fstab, i add: /dev/sdb1 /mnt/vzdump_raidvol2 ext3 defaults,errors=remount-ro 0 1
Reboot, check using the "mount" command - OK
In Proxmox web config|storage, I added "backups" to directory /mnt/vzdump_raidvol2.
I saw that Dietmar said this setup was dangerous. Is that for a single drive and not a RAID 10 array?
Before I move VM guests to the new host, iI would like to ask if my setup is OK or should I do it a different way?
