We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Bad sectors -- not reallocating -- experimenting -- whatdo (Toshiba3TB)

    So TL;DR -- replaced a drive that was throwing read errors from a pool - has about 400 failed sectors spread out over a 70MB area -- ran many rounds of badblocks to determine all bad sectors. Isolated the area with a 1GiB partition -- with the failed area in the middle. I can write data to the...

    What's the deal with these IBM LTO tape drives?

    Thanks for the insight -- so these are just standard tape drives, but with obscure naming -- no proprietary hardware otherwise needed? I'll assume they will work with SFF-8482 or similar. Cheers!

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    @Gea & Maximus825 Yes, I suppose both solutions would be perfect in a business-oriented environment. This is however, a home-server for everything from firewalling/dhcp to filesharing, backup, webserver, proxy, ++++. But I don`t need that kind of redundancy -- only throughput. Also, I`m...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Before I embark on what has now become an ESXi adventure (previously planned a dedicated oi box): SuperMicro`s X8ST3-F seems to be the best choice, with an onboard LSI 8p sas controller and all (although more expensive than its siblings) I take it that the onboard LSI controller supports...
