Use Write-Intent Bitmap
Check this to use a write-intent bitmap (RAID 5 or 6 only). A write-intent-bitmap keeps track of
changes made to the RAID that will reduce rebuild times if the device crashes or a disk is
removed and reinserted. It can degrade write performance and will not improve rebuild speed if a
disk fails and is replaced.
Min Sync Speed
The minimum speed in MB/s when syncing or rebuilding the RAID disk. The default value is 1
which places priority on reads and writes the to disk (such as a backup job) rather than syncing
the RAID disk.
Max Sync Speed
The maximum speed in MB/s when syncing or rebuilding the RAID disk. The default value is
1000 which which allows syncing at the fastest possible speed.
Disks in RAID
Bay #
Bay in which disk is installed.
Number
Disk number.
RAID Device
Position of the disk in the set starting at 0.
Friendly Disk Name
Name of the disk.
Status
Displays the current status of the disk as either active or spare.
Action
Buttons showing the actions that can be taken with the disk by clicking the button. Possibilities
are:
Remove
Remove disk from RAID. This will remove the RAID meta-data from the disk so that is no
longer a part of the RAID, but will not destroy any data on the disk. All partitions and file
systems will remain intact (for RAID 1).
Identify
Identify disk by blinking disk light. Only displayed if disk is installed.
