I'm at work but I believe I put 8 or 16 in that box.

Hello again folks, I have a question that I hope I could get some suggestions on. So I've figured out quite a bit the last week or so. I ended up reinstalling Ubuntu Server. I have a 120GB ssd that the OS is installed on and four 2TB hard drives. Right now two of those are set as raid1...

Now I need to make sure the array shows up in /etc/mdadm/mdadm.conf. I'm going to add another drive, partition it, and add it to the array. Then format and mount the array.

Thank you for the response. I was wondering why so quiet! I'll look for replies here then. I'm pretty anxious to get this figured out. I am reading....a lot. Not much I care to watch on TV these days. Take care down there friend.
