Good morning,
one of four hds in my LVM2 raid has stopped reacting to SMART commands or
anything else. The 16 TB raid system contains four 8 TB hds in a RAID 1 set of
two RAID 4 pairs:

Hi,
I would like to remind myself of external amplifiers uselessly running so I
would like to play a short sound signal once in a while if there is no audio
playing. OTOH, the signal should obviously not be played over the built-in
speakers. So, how can I find out (preferably using a command-l

And thanks again, I have followed your advice, creating an 8TB mirrored logical
volume on my two new drives, i.e. using 1 mirror = 2 copies.

For example, if it is btrfs, you don't have to copy anything about.
btrfs does its own raid 0.
You can just add more disks as you need them and btrfs just uses them.
Interesting. I

Hi,
Thank you for your detailed look at possible setups. I remembered my old setup
incorrectly, though, so that I am not sure everything is applicable. My
original (2016) setup included two hard disk drives of not 4 TB but 8 TB
capacity in a RAID-1 that has reached 92 per cent capacity.
