I recently came home from a work trip to find my server seemily up and running ( able to navigate on OI desktop) but no shares was available. I proceeded with a reboot and system would hang at boot up screen. I assumed that I had some sort of boot disk issue and installed OI on a fresh SSD. I...

There are a variety of these available...I dont recall the models off hand..I had looked into this for the car as well. The limitation I ran into was that none of them had a way to remain connected to the internet. You can connect to the hdd wifi hotspot but then not have internet. If you can...

Thanks for the prompt reply Gea! You always see to find me and give me a solid reply This got me thinking and made me realize that I fogot one very important goal for the system. A solid community for support when issues arise especially for us that are still a bit (or a lot) green on cli...

might have better luck in this thread http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1573272 good luck mate

Ive done some searching on both but all of the comparisons I have found involve old versions. Below is the gear I have for the build and what I'm needing the rig to handle. Build Gear MOBO: Supermicro X8DAH+-F CPU: 2x Intel Xeon CPU L5639 @ 2.13GHz RAM: 64GB CONTROLLERS...

Thanks to everyone that responded...solutions I found are below. The reason I kept coming to system maintenance login when using live disk is that I was using a usb dvd rom. Once I connected directly to a sata port i booted all the way into the live desktop. I was then able to delete a...

ok so I have kept working on this and could never get the live disk to boot to the desktop gui. When I attempt this with or without the root mirror attached i get the following and my old root login and password still work. I would attempt the beadm command but I dont know how to get to a...

bump... anyone out there have time to walk me through deleting a boot environment? Just need to free up some space so I can boot and backup really dont want to walk away from the sql database sitting on this root...too many months since a backup :(

Thanks for the reply! Tried the power off/on several times. I think the boot is ok... it was still running and usable until i rebooted...so I think I will try to free up some space. I assume that by boot environments you mean these Thats great if I can do that versus trying to dig...

Came home the other day to a Napp-it Gui that would not load. Login would appear but when i attempted I would get the following Set default permissions and reading disk and pool parameter, please wait.. in case of problems, try a reboot after Power-Off or check disk and pool status at CLI...

So I think winging it on a prayer and some duct tape the past couple years has finally caught up to me. I have a bit of a Frankenstein monster for a media server and I always seem to pull it out in the last seconds with the help of this forum and google but its not looking good this time. I...

I started my server with a mirrored array of 40gb drives and found that was insufficient. I have replaced one at a time with 500gb drives and have auto expand on, but cant seem to get it to expand. Is there a safe and not too painful way to facilitate this in napp-it? Thanks

First Off Thank You Gea. I have been following this post and a few others here as I slowly grow my home media server. Its has gone from whs to win7 and now starting with OI. My current main server is using win7 with integrated intel raid, a rocketraid 2340 and an areca 1680 with HP...

Kudos to SynergyDustin for the the expander and quick ship! I can't wait to fire this baby up!
