Uses Chronial's snapraid-runner as an optional cronjob.

Operating Systems

CentOS: 6.6, 7.0
Windows: 2012 R2

Usage

Add the SnapRAID cookbook to your runlist, and set the data_disks, parity_disks, and content_files attributes in accordance with the desired SnapRAID configuration.
See the SnapRAID FAQ for more details.

Example

default_attributes(  
  'snapraid' => {  
    'data_disks'=> ['/media/disk1/','/media/disk2/'],  
    'parity_disks' => ['/media/disk3/'],  
    'content_files' => ['/media/disk1/', '/media/disk1/']  
  }  
)

You must set the above three arrays containing your disks and content files otherwise SnapRAID will not run!

Windows Support

This cookbook has been tested on Windows 2012 R2, but should work wherever Chef and SnapRAID do.

Attributes

Too many to list! Refer to attributes/default.rb.
Some attributes are Windows/Linux specific (paths, etc.) and some only exist in one platform or the other (e.g. cron/scheduled task timings).
