Well just wanted to tell you about this damn small mini. App. that my friend did for me here

I got used to RAID cases and almost i understand i little something on RAID rebuilding
well for sure many thnx to dr-kiev help on those cases but from Day-0 with him i was reading alot about Raid
and how people like him in few minutes can find those parameters n order as well

to be honest, this is damn complicated issue, so all the details that i need to build it i know (some of it at least)
but the only remaining issue is the hdd order in RAID which this Image re-presents here all Options plus Notes for each.

I guess this is something i dedicated myself to it from sometime and i got it here presented on this mini. App.

i really hope one day will get it all

this might help beginners (like me) if you know the parameters then this sure will help, just needs some time testing

good luck
:mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :wink:

"Trial and error" approach will rarely work. there are other factors such as RAID level (0,5,6...) and block sizes (512 Bytes -> 2MB!) , non standard parity rotations (Delayed Parity), offsets ...etc.

Well i Agree with you my dear
but as i said, most of my cases here are Home/Small Biz NAS which are 2-5 (MAX) hdd`s broken raid
with 2-3 its easy to guess order if you know the parameters in Hex
but for me more than 3 is a Headache which i got this one for

:wink:
