    First build, 16TB raw

    Yes, I am on the path of building this box out for ZFS storage now. Everything looks to be on track, just waiting for parts to arrive now.

    First build, 16TB raw

    What have I made up? Most of this thread is asking advise about my intended goal, and discussing options. No, Netflix is not cost competitive, as they won't hold any VM images, or a database, or any of the other data that I will be storing. Only one facet of this project is to hold media for...

    First build, 16TB raw

    Lots of good reading here for Opensolaris/ZFS home servers: http://blogs.sun.com/constantin/entry/opensolaris_home_server_zfs_and My original direction was just "box of storage that won't lose data" Now I am more focused on getting a ZFS system running. Even with backing up to...

    Indeed, the goal for this box is just an 8 disk ZFS/RAIDZ array. the decision for that particular card was it was named as a known good card for opensolaris. And taking a step back, of course I wont need an expander for this setup, the card is fairly inexpensive (~$200) so I can just get...

    I am really digging ZFS/RAIDZ even with the possibility of an unsupported future, I am changing direction for this box to Z. I have a LSI SAS3442E-R http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816118101 on the way. It says 4x internal SFF-8484 SAS connector, so I need a...

    The original PS did not fit, i replaced with: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817104162 Just needs another molex connector for the fans. The box is racked, waiting for the PERC card and NIC to arrive (and a cable management arm) I have started looking into Z...

    First build, 16TB raw

    This is my first attempt at building a non-workstation hardware solution. I usually just purchase older enterprise-class commodity gear The plan is a low-ish power, quiet-ish, redundant 2U NAS box. Not sure if I will want to use this for VM image storage or not. I have a small 15k SCSI...

    What OS to install in my netbook?

    I also have an Acer Aspire One, 1GB RAM. It had a fresh install of XP home, and was also sluggish (took forever to boot) I ran Ubuntu Netbook Remix from a thumb drive, even that was faster than the XP. I did a proper install of UNR, and you wouldnt guess that it is an atom processor. Runs...

    Maltron & friends keyboards (RSI/faster typing)

    I have been doing my homework and found this gem. The short story that everyone (?) knows is that the standard QWERTY layout was engineered to make you type slower, so as not to bind the mechanical arms on the typewriter. The DVORAK and Malt layouts are designed to be more natural, and this...

    VM storage planning

    I'm not sure what I was questioning now. 1. Upgrade to Gig 2. One of the 2450s with openfiler and an external array (storageworks, etc. Cheap SAN .. 500MB-1TB) 3. Guests to live on the backend With this I should have everything I need for now, or am I missing something (again)?

    VM storage planning

    I only recently found this forum, but havn't found an answer yet. Goal: virtual cluster home rig for training/testing etc to have an enterprise-type setup at home ( As I will have to know all of this in the near future, to start planning for blade/VM implementation and migration at work )...
