    pfSense build - advice

    Well, here's what I got: OEM Production 2550L2D-MxPC 4GB Kingston RAM 30GB Kingston SSDNow SSD Some build notes: A single RAM chip in that box must be on in the slot closest to the motherboard or the device won't even POST. pfSense 2.0.1 64-bit has a known bug with that model...

    pfSense build - advice

    Good point, I just looked at the logic supply stuff a little harder & it'll save me quite a bit if I build. No way can I build from NewEgg... it'd be almost $300. So it boils down to if I want the Intel NICs or not & if it's worth the extra $100.

    pfSense build - advice

    As of now, I have two different decisions to make: Broadcom vs Intel NICs Buy OEM/JetWay or build from Supermicro parts I know Intel NICs are better, but will I actually notice a difference in this case? I guess it boils down to the driver. Thoughts? If I do go the Intel NIC...

    pfSense build - advice

    Yeah but don't have any spare hardware. Plus, I need something somewhat reliable than old clunky hardware so the wife doesn't get upset from it going down all the time. :) You could also make the argument that putting a low power device in place will pay for itself over time versus a full...

    pfSense build - advice

    Well, I found that the OEM Production box will work fine with 2.0.1, or 2.1 RC... either one. Now I'm wondering if I want to spend $100 more for Intel NICs vs Broadcom: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856107095 I know Intel NICs are better, but I'm poor & it's $100.

    pfSense build - advice

    It says FreeBSD compatible: http://www.oemproduction.com/products/2700L2D-MxPC.asp However, it might not be in the latest stable release: http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=49292.0 I wonder when 2.1 will drop? I don't even see it. edit Ah, http://snapshots.pfsense.org Good...

    pfSense build - advice

    How much space am I going to need to keep logs? 4GB drive isn't enough? I just hate the idea of setting up a new appliance with a spinning disk. I read on pfSense's forums that the GPU card on that box's chip isn't fully supported with freeBSD 8.1, so I might need the serial cable during...

    SAS/SATA Breakout Cables

    I currently have a SAS/SATA controller that uses breakout cables, standard 1 breakout = 4 connectors. Both channels are in use, as I have 8 drives plugged into it. I want to plug in just two more drives. Is it possible to get a breakout cable that has something like 6 connectors? I can't use...

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

    Ah, ok. I remember reading a while back you expressed interest in getting AFP working with AD. I hoped this kadmin.local command might have some capability of doing it. I also thought it was supported by the installer? The AFP install script didn't complain. Is there a roadmap outlined...

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

    _Gea, I'm wondering if you've made any progress getting Netatalk (AFP) to work with Active Directory? I've found some information that looks like it might be useful in getting this to work, but I don't understand kerberos well enough to try it, so I thought I'd post here & see what happens...

    Q for those who has Solaris in a Windows domain

    It depends on what you want to do. If it's just CIFS, you can get by without adding any Unix stuff to your AD controller. Solaris will generate the unix attributes for your AD users via ephemeral SID mapping: http://blogs.oracle.com/timthomas/entry/a_quick_look_solaris_cifs. If you're using...

    HDD prices rising

    I think once the supply chain goes back to normal, brands will go back to competing with each other for lower prices. HDD's ≠ oil.
