    Either of these drives bad?

    Hmmmm. What about the other two drives? They look okay to me. However, my shares often disconnect, and looking in my computer logs, it shows they stopped responding for at least 2 minutes, the OS assumes they're dead, and then disconnects them. === START OF INFORMATION SECTION === Model...

    Either of these drives bad?

    I've been having an issue with my 4 drive Synology NAS responding very slowly (minutes to open a share) and by looking, it looks like the 2 Seagate drives I have in it may be causing an issue. I've tried to trim most of the irrelevant data from this SMART output. To me it seems like both...

    Same article: The key features of ReFS are as follows (note that some of these features are provided in conjunction with Storage Spaces). Metadata integrity with checksums Integrity streams providing optional user data integrity The "optional" Integrity streams are the important...

    Windows 8 Preview / I am playing with Storage Spaces

    Building Windows 8 blog Specifically the "Resiliency to disk corruptions," and "Integrity streams" section. It notes there also that integrity streams are only enabled by default on mirrored volumes, but can be enabled on parity volumes as well.

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

    Keep in mind that iSCSI VMs will not come up after a reboot (of the host). ESX will see the iSCSI HBA as not available until after you do a rescan. So, after a reboot you'd have to open the Windows based VMWare management console, rescan the HBAs, and then your VMs would re-appear. Not good...

    All my Drives Have re-allocated sectors :(

    These values are the normalized values, 0-100 I believe. Looks like all your drives are 100% As others have said, pay more attention to the raw values.

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

    You can via terminal. For example, if you have a share/filesystem called TVShows you can (after mounting the share): cd /Volumes/TVShows/.zfs/snapshot and you'll be in the snapshot folder. Works well enough if your comfortable with the command line. [edit] doh...reading comprehension failure...

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

    Seems slower than it should be. My 6 disk RAID-Z2 in SE 11 under ESXi is faster while in a degraded state. See my post here for the speeds I'm getting. As for why your speeds are slower...no idea. My IBM ServeRAID BR10i controller is similar to yours (maybe even an older generation).

    New Build: ESXi / Solaris 11 Express /w Raw Drive Mapping (RDM) passthrough

    FWIW, I started off with my all-in-one ESXi ZFS build using RDMs, and it worked terribly. Everything appeared to work fine, but ZFS would report 1000s of corrected errors per day. Eventually there would be many files that were listed as corrupt. These exact disks used in the same VM but on a...

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

    That is unfortunate. iSCSI works, but is certainly less than ideal, mainly because it prevents being able to do complete system restores. Thanks for the information.

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

    Still love the ease of use napp-it provides me. One question though; With the release of Mac OS X Lion likely next week, and the fact that Time Machine no longer works with Netatalk 2.1.5, what are the plans for making your AFP install script work with Netatalk 2.2? I've found your afp22...

    How many of you have ECC RAM in your home server?

    ^^^ This is the exactly why I ended up using ECC memory. I wanted it in the beginning, but in the end it didn't cost much more (if any) when using a board that fit my needs. Being able to remotely attach ISOs without having to move my server (which has its home next to my TV), or sit on the...

    Moving all-in-one from SSD to flash drive

    Hmm, that's good to know. Further research shows that only custom scripted installs can use the extra space for a datastore. Looks like I may be putting my 2 spare laptop drives to a new use. [edit] - looks like I may not http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1036411387&postcount=2 ESXi does...

    Moving all-in-one from SSD to flash drive

    A good SSD is being used, but not providing on performance increase. Once all my VMs boot, nothing is being accessed that lives on the SSD. Even my Windows Server VM, it only serves data that is located elsewhere (i.e. within my ZFS pool in the Solaris VM). It's nice that the SSD should be...
