Hello, I just bought a large storage hardware (supermicro) that came with a avago LSI 3108 raid card.
Well as you can guess, it can’t see a hardware raid5 from that card, but the supermicro person said to put all drives into raid0 individually, and bingo all drives can now be seen by the truenas OS.
this is my very first truenas system, can anyone say if this is a setup that works reliably? which raid should I pick for the truenas pool? I don’t know much about the different Z options. I don’t know much at all in fact.
Does anyone see a problem with how this has been setup?
I was told to use raid0 for each drive individually because the raid card doesn’t support jbod, does that sound correct?
Any advice or input is greatly appreciated, and i’m really excited to start to use truenas going forward.
