I have just built a new machine for my server. I am using the following parts:
Norco RPC-2016 Case
Asus Prime Z270-A Motherboard
Intel i7-7700 Gen 7 Processor
16 gig Corsair Vengence 2133 mhz Memory
Corsair RM850X Modular Power Supply
MyDigitalSSD 480GB NVME Drive (Boot Drive)
LSI SAS 9207-8i Controller Card
Intel SAS Expander Card (24 Port) Port Multiplier
I have 17 drives in the pool totaling 33.1 TB
I have a Crucial MX100 256 Gig as a work drive
And I have a Blu-Ray drive hooked up.
I have noticed that whenever I reboot the machine DrivePool just about every time needs to remeasure the pool. Of course after it is done it wants to recheck duplication.
Is there anyway to fix this? I ran DrivePool for a couple of years on my old server & it never did this unless I changed the ports where the hard drives were hooked up to. I'm just wondering if the sas card isn't recognizing the drives in the same order each time.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
Phil
