I've been breaking my head as to why the xattr of my files, specifically the creation timestamp that Windows adds when using samba shares from Linux to Windows, has been getting removed. First I though the filesystem was corrupt but xfs_repair show nothing wrong, then I thought maybe is my mounting options but nope, I'm using the defaults with noatime added. Even so all my other drives use the same filesystem and options and they work well. Fortunately I have backups of my files' timestamps so I...

Thank you! Thinking it better, I better use a local drive for downloads, them move the completed ones weekly or so to a drive in the array before the scheduled sync. One thing, I see I can use exclusion filters, let's say of the 5 drives one of them has only one "data" folder and one "downloads" folder that occupies 80% of the drive's capacity but I exclude it, what does this means? I mean, does SnapRAID assumes zeros for the data that the "downloads" folder is currently occupying or just ignores...

Thank you for the detailed response. What approach would you take about this? Specifically, does SnapRAID sends a notification when a disk fails? I'm thinking on powering off the server when a disk fails, that way I'm 100% sure no file is modified and that I'll be safe in that I'll be able to restore the failed drive. It's more important to me to be able to restore the data than to not interrupt my hosted services. With this I take that the drive where I store my downloads (that is new files) is...

I have some questions about SnapRAID. I understand that it doesn't do real-time and instead we have to fire the sync command periodically, my questions are: Let's say I have 10 disks, 1 parity (11 total) and one of the data disks fails, I should stop any operations on any of the other 9 data disks, but how? I have to do this manually? This is a server which is live 24/7/365 so if the disk fails when i.e. I'm sleeping, does SnapRAID performs the "disconnection"? Like unmounting all the remaining disk...

As far as I can tell you use "archive" to refer to the compressed files, right? If that's the case using "fichero" and "archivo" makes no sense, at least here in Latin America I have never either read, hear or seen someone refer to a compressed file with "archivo", we call them "comprimidos" or "archivos comprimidos", or you could use "contenedor" instead

I've tried with 24.01 and now with 24.04 and using ".." to specify the parent directory like "C:\SubFolder\Another\..\file.7z" (file.7z should be created in "SubFolder") doesn't work anymore. Latest working version is 23.01.
