We will investigate what you reported, and see if it is an issue. (rebuild switching from one volume to the other) Enable write cache - and better protection from corrupted volumes Fast RAID volume rebuilds Validating updates incorrect RAID blocks All this is in the online help pages. There is a ? button on every help page, click it and you will be brought to the correct help page for that dialog box. The text for write cache i correct. When enabled, it will accelerate RIAD writes, but in the event of a crash, the data in the RAM cache may not be written out to disk. unchecking it means all writes are directly to disk, so there is less chance of corruption in the event of a kernel panic. Where is this 'write cache' located ? In the computer's RAM managed by SoftRAID or in the disk device ?]]> Other Problems barrysharp https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1195 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1194 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 01:02:14 +0000 While the manual Rebuild was underway on Vol 1 I went to SoftRAID Preferences -> RAID tab and found the "Automatically rebuild RAID volumes" was not set. So I set it to Confirm that "Automatically rebuild RAID volumes" is selected, and then quit the Preferences panel. As soon as this was done the current Rebuild on Vol 1 stopped and the Queued Rebuild for Vol 2 started. We were able to reproduce this. We should be able to fix this in the next update.]]> Other Problems SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1194 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1193 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 00:38:19 +0000 Other Problems SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1193 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1192 Thu, 25 Feb 2016 00:14:27 +0000 Other Problems barrysharp https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1192 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1190 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 22:33:41 +0000 Other Problems SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1190 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1189 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 21:29:47 +0000 Other Problems barrysharp https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1189 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1188 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 17:07:46 +0000 Other Problems SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1188 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1187 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 17:00:34 +0000 Other Problems barrysharp https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1187 https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1186 Wed, 24 Feb 2016 16:41:52 +0000 Other Problems SoftRAID Support https://forums.softraid.com/other-problems/failed-disk-in-4-x-disk-raid-5/#post-1186
