Naming a SnapRAID array is a new feature in OMV7 which allows for the creation of independent arrays. However, this feature is not intended for the typical home use case. Multiple SnapRAID arrays are not recommended for users who are unfamiliar with SnapRAID. |
Info Note | |
Since at least one good copy of the Content File is required for a full drive restoration, it's best to have a copy of the Content File on all protected drives. |
Note | |
Split Parity is a new SnapRAID feature that is supported in OMV7: - While the rule, "the parity drive must equal or exceed the size of the largest protected data drive" still applies; split parity allows combing smaller drives to create what appears to be a single large parity drive. - New users should note that split parity is an advanced feature that increases admin complexity. Split parity configurations are not recommended for users who are not familiar with SnapRAID. |
Warning | |
Parity drive(s) are reserved exclusively for SnapRAID's use. Attempting to use a Parity drive for any other purpose will compromise SnapRAID's protection and result in bizarre behavior. |

Device names, dev/sda1, dev/sdb1, etc., may be reordered when a device goes "missing". Device name designations are dependent on BIOS and are subject to change after a reboot. |
