    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    I've lost all the links I orginally had when investigating XFS and ZFS. The one thing I remember is the memory requirement being much higher for ZFS than XFS. My own personal expereience is that transferring files to and from my XFS filesystem (on a RAID5 device) will max out the gigabit network...

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    Why ZFS out of interest? I had a choice between ZFS and XFS some years ago when I got by N36 (running Ubuntu). I chose XFS primarily because of the lower memory footprint - the whole system runs as a file server with less than 512Mb memory usage. It has been mega-reliable since then and have...

    Anyone running owncloud? How did you go about making it accessible on the internet and securing it for that matter?

    My original post on setting up my Microserver as a 5+ TB RAID5 array has long since been buried. So I've created a blog post with minor updates here. So if you're interested in the HP Microserver and are wanting a very large and fast RAID5 array then read on. It works using Ubuntu without the...

    I get around 80MB/sec file copy speed on my RAID5 array. 4 x2TB drives with xfs as the file system running Ubuntu 10.04 x64. This is runnning on an N36L with 1GB ram.

    Well I can now safely say I have the perfect set up with my N36L for the last 12 months or so. It's running Ubuntu 10.04 Server LTS with a x4 2TB drivers. The 250GB drive is used as the boot drive. Things I've got working are - Software RAID5 array with XFS filesystem to create a 5.5TB...

    No need for a RAID card. Ubuntu Server works fine in way less than 1GB of memory and can do software RAID using mdadm. On gigabit LAN you'll still get 90MB/s transfer rates, so the CPU isn't stretched at all. You can use webmin to administer the server too. There are 6 SATA ports you can use...

    Couple of thread on setting up this machine as an Ubuntu server with RAID on 8TB of disks. Sounds like he's getting really good performance with his set up. I'll try it out when my disks get delivered...

    HP ProLiant MicroServer owners' thread

    I have one of these on order and am looking to set it up as a basic NAS device using FreeNAS to manage to x4 2TB disks. I think I'm going to go with FreeNAS 7 with the disks formatted as UFS. Version 8 and ZFS sound like they'll need more memory installed to get decent performance, so don't...

    Back to basics - Coolermaster 335

    Some pics of my heavily loaded CM 335 (with 8HDs = 11TB). It's a definite budget case, but I'm going back to basics and it's all I need. Options for cable management is poor. But hey, not like it has a window or anything :)

    Vista striped volume - reinstall?

    Just reporting back. Both the Vista reinstall and a later install of Window 7 recognisd the striped disk without issues. Very clever.

    Vista freezes when e-sata drive speeds up or down

    Would these be Jmicron ports by any chance? If so, use the latest drivers. You may have older ones branded by your motherboard manufacturer. ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/jmb36x/XP_Vista_Win7/ I used these on my Gigabyte board and solved the problem...
