Your unofficial software RAID?
I'm not sure I understand?
XenServer doesn't support software RAID. Xen does, XenServer does not.

I'm sure it will affect the raid though. It's not supported by XenServer without modification.
Oh, yeah I got that. Have to figure out the best way to back it up and rebuild it. I really need to invest in a NAS or something for local backups.

OMG, Forest Gump is on in the house. Even just hearing from time to time I can't stand that movie.

Oh, yes I knew that. This is a personal server where I didn't have a RAID card so I just set it up with the MD utility on XenServer. I know it isn't officially supported. Been working fairly well so far though.

The motherboard doesn't even support RAID without a cache or anything?

Very few do. Very, very few. I don't actually know of any server except for SuperMicro that does that and it is only a handful of their models.

No, not in the least, it is a whitebox I had lying around with a decent processor in it. I know MD RAID has a really good reputation when compared to motherboard RAID though so I didn't even think about it. I know the whole do IT at home thing @scottalanmiller talks about. I just don't have the budget to be running a full-fledged server in my house right now. Would that I could, my whitebox is maxed out at 16GB of RAM and it is becoming a bit of a pain.

Is it actually a true server. I don't run my home server VM hosts from true server due to noise. They are all one Desktop machines with extra Intel Nics added.

MD is enterprise RAID, used in some massive systems and in many NAS and SAN devices too. In a case like there where XS doesn't support MD, maybe I'd take a motherboard hardware controller if one was available if it was mirrored RAID. But I can't think of a single server that I'd be likely to run across that could do it.

Guess everyone left for the weekend already. Wow it's quiet around here, (crickets chirping)

No - well sorta. nasty wreck on i-75 near the office.. had some issues getting around it to get home ... okay yes I was playing Ingress also.. so i wasn't really in a hurry to get home. But the acccident was at 2, and it was still backed up 6 hours later....
I don't know if you can say I leave,.. I just change locations..

Brand New HP Officejet Pro 8620 set up and tested. Will drop 2 printers and a desktop out of the network and to the give away, donate, recycle, sell, use as a target pile....
Just need to figure out what else I want to try to do this weekend... hmm.. As little as possible if I can get away with it.

Husband is out seeing friends band. So watching Netflix.

Watching Sharktank, catching up on ML posts.

It's a ghost town here on Friday's.

Just got home from Kansas, showered, and doing laundry. Trying to stay awake until I can put it in the dryer.

Don't worry you want have to worry about 256-QAM and it's constellation or error vector magnitude for a installation of a couple of APs.
Do you even have devices with an 802.11AC to make use of it?

I don't care about the AC part of it as much as the seriously increased range you get even with N with an AC router. A buddy of mine has one and just wow...he has a Netgear Nighthawk...
