The drives in the Synology are not new so, their age alone is something to think about. First, drives have a working life of about 4 to 5 years (note there's a LOT of give and take in that figure). It's your call, but you may be flirting with disaster. I am still reading up on all of this as I go along here. Thanks again for all your help you two, planed to wipe the two 6TB drives i nthe Synology, add them to my new NAS box running OMV where the other two 10TB drives are, also put them into mirror, and then if I understand this right, planed to put both RAIDs into an LVM(?) so that I can have one 16TB storage location. Once all four drives are in the OMV box, I planned to stick a few smaller drives back in the Synology for personal cloud type use for important stuff which will have a better backup setup.īut, I am interested in learning more about my options for combining the two pairs to see as a single folder for storage, so I will also wait for input as well. I dont plan on any comprehensive backup plan, as all four drives will simply be to store media content, which is not of huge concern to lose in the event such as what you explained. You would still have 16TB storage leaving them as single drives using a 10Tb and 6TB as rsync, if you go the way as you have suggested do you intend on backing this up, granted one drive failure in a mirror is fine, but having experienced a drive failure in a mirrored raid only for the second drive to go down whilst waiting for a replacement is something I would not want to happen again.Ī second option might be to use MergeFS (UnionFS) and Snapraid might have view on this. Then, once that was done, I planed to wipe the two 6TB drives i nthe Synology, add them to my new NAS box running OMV where the other two 10TB drives are, also put them into mirror, and then if I understand this right, planed to put both RAIDs into an LVM(?) so that I can have one 16TB storage location. Once the RAID and file system were ready, I had planned to figure out the remote mounts so I could transfer the data from my old Synology box to my new 10TB RAID. My plan was to use the two 10TB drives in a RAID as the storage for my Plex media. I have a 200gb drive for "data", if you mean for my drive that runs OMV. What would have been a better option was to use a single 10Tb drive for data and the second 10Tb drive as a local rsync. That is interesting, as some have found that the current wipefs doesn't always remove the zfs signature hence the use of the systemrescuecd, possibly the use of -all and -force has removed 'all' signatures on the drive. The wipefs -n will do nothing more than display the information you provided. The Rsync job will go faster with a 1GB link. (Do not try to configure a remote rsync job, in this case. Then set up a LOCAL rsync job with the remote Synology share as the source and the OMV share as the destination.
(The path for a shared folder of a remote file system is a single / When created, you'll have to change the default.) Name the shared folder something that indicates it's on a remote server, again, like SYN-music. Then you would create a shared folder of the remote mounted file system:
Wipefs force password#
You'd need to supply a user name and password with at least read access to the Synology share.Īfter it's mounted, you'll see the remote mounted filesystem, in Storage, File systems. Name it something shows it's remote like SYN-Music (Remote Mount adds a remote share, to OMV, as if it's a local drive.) You could use the Remote Mount Plugin to set up an Rsync job. Use SMB/CIF, to put your new shared folder on the network. (Given the 10TB size, this may take some time as well.) 10TB is a huge mirror.Ĭreate a file system on the array. I've only set up mdadm RAID in VM's with 5GB (really small) drives. As I remember it, ZFS was fast to sync a 4TB mirror. )Īnother command that is supposed to wipe RAID signatures is (Where the " ?" is the letter of the drive you're wiping. The command to erase all locations on the drive with 0's is This will give you a list of installed drives. Since you're setting up a new server, other than watching that you don't format your boot disk, there's no risk in trying it.
Others on this forum prefer using dd on the command line. DBAN wipes almost everything and it starts with the boot sector.
Wipefs force free#
If they continue to be stubborn, give the free version of DBAN a try. But note that ZFS, LVM and mdadm (software) RAID can set persistent flags on drives. You'd start one operation, then open another separate web page into the server (or reload the first). I think you can secure wipe two drives at once.
Can I have two wipe actions going on at once via webgui?
