multi drive
Hi all,
So the server I have Vesta on has 2, 2TB drives. Currently with no raid support enabled.
Is there any way of asking Vesta to use both drives? Preferably without having to re-install anything.
Thanks,
Chris

Re: multi drive
With mdadm you can build software RAID.
I suggest RAID 1

The answer is "Yes, You can use both disc with Vesta".

Re: multi drive
With RAID 1, that just gives me 2 identical copies right? While that could be great in a hardware failure doesn't really allow me to 'use' the second drive as more space which is what I wanted to do.DarthVader wrote: ↑Sun Feb 02, 2020 10:36 pmWith mdadm you can build software RAID.

I was more hoping of a way I could put some accounts on drive 1 some on drive 2.

Re: multi drive
This is impossible.
RAID1 is better solution.
Both disks are mirror images.
If one failure, then all data with all accounts stil will be correct on second.

Re: multi drive
Could You tell us how?
1) What about paths in dovecot / exim?
2) What about DOCUMENT_ROOT paths?
As we know we can manual change document_root for www, but this is a temporary change.
With exim / dovecot - this is not simple because they not have vhosts so we could not change path to ~/conf and ~/mail for each users?
RAID is better protection for data and availibity. We eliminate storage spof (Single Point Of Failure).
