Due to some driver issues that I just don’t want to deal with, I have switched from the well loved #Debian to the more (corporate) supported #Ubuntu for the #DIY media server.

All the needed drivers we easily installed on Ubuntu. Currently I am in the process of setting up #raid5. Once that is done then I will install #Jellyfin
Oh boy, setting up this #RAID array is gonna be an overnight ordeal 🤪

Last time I manually set up raid (specifically #raid1) was with two 4 Tb drives. Which I do not recall taking too long; maybe an hour or two. Now I am doing four 12 Tb in #raid5. Good thing I am on summer break 😅
Per “cat /proc/mdstat” I have 1006.4 minutes till complete 🫠
Woooo hooo I am at 78.5% done with the 36 Tb (48Tb total) #raid5 array! That’s like gonna take “415.4” minutes to finish 😅
