PiNAS: The Patience Wears Thin...

 0751

Checked the RPi4 this morning and the syncing seems to have finished.

Tried a reboot…

…success! It rebooted.

This is progress for sure.

Fuc'k’s'sake.

I definitely got my hopes up too early there. The next steps are the killer steps (in that they kill the RPi) :

Next, make sure that the drive is mounted whenever you boot.

sudo nano /etc/fstab

Add the line:

/dev/md0 /mnt/raid1/ ext4 defaults,noatime 0 1

Quit (CTRL+X, followed by Y), then run the following so the RAID array starts up correctly on boot:

sudo mdadm --detail --scan | sudo tee -a 

/etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf

Reboot and you should have /mnt/raid1 ready to go.

After doing these and rebooting, we’re back to sod all.

Maybe I’ll just use a Windows PC.
