XigmaNAS

Hi all,

I just set up a RAID0 using the instructions found here:

http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... management

I got through all the steps and even now, my raid shows as "UP" in Disks|Software RAID|RAID0|Management

In Disks|Mount Point|Management my raid is listed there, and status is OK. When I do a "Status" on the raid in Disks|Software RAID|RAID0|Tools, it returns:
Shouldn't da0 show the same info as da1?

Anyway the end result is that it looks like the raid is ok, but none of my machines can see it. Any idea how i can try and figure out what's going wrong?

I just noticed on my nas4free box, this popped up on the screen:

GEOM: da0: Corrupt or invalid GPT detected.
GEOM: da0: GPT rejected -- May not be recoverable.

thanks for any help,
Ed

what do you mean your machines cant see it?

have you created a cifs share?

Code: Select all

           Name                 Status  Components
            stripe/nasRAID0      UP         da1
                                            da0

Shouldn't da0 show the same info as da1?

This info is not for da1
It says that you have a stripe named nasRAID0, its status is UP and the disks that create this stripe are disks da1 and da0
Regarding "but none of my machines can see it", now, what b0ssman said: Have you actually created a share for the other machines to see?
The procedure is:

• Create a raid
• Format it
• Create mount point
• Use cifs/nfs to share it with the rest of the network

See wiki: http://wiki.nas4free.org/doku.php?id=do ... management

Thanks guys,

I'm a total newbie at this and obviously still getting used to the interface....I looked at the cifs/nfs page about a hundred times yesterday but I was so intent on the settings, that my eyes just didn't see the "Shares" tab. Now my raid is visible on my network.

Thanks again for your help and patience. have a great day.
