raidfile.conf

## Name

raidfile.conf — Userland RAID for Box Backup

## Synopsis

`/etc/box/raidfile.conf`

## Description

The raidfile.conf is usually generated by raidfile-config (8) but may be manually edited if the store locations move or if more than one disc set is required.

disc`X`

  Specifies a set of discs.

  `SetNumber`

    The set number of the RAID disc, referenced by each account.

  `BlockSize`

    The block size of the file system (usually 2048). Under BSD with FFS, set this to your file system's fragment size (most likely an 8th of the block size).

  `Dir0`

    The first directory in the RAID array.

  `Dir1`

    The second directory in the RAID array. If you do not wish to use the built-in RAID functionality, this field should be set to the same as `Dir0`. You should not use the built-in RAID if you have a hardware RAID solution or if you're using another type of software RAID (like md on Linux).

  `Dir2`

    The third directory in the RAID array. The same notes that apply to `Dir2` also apply to `Dir3`.
