    Linux Storage Help - symlinking vs. binding

    Just a dumb suggestion...instead of using mounts (which can be complicated), just use a sym link for the redirect. If you're using ubuntu with a process that's controlled by apparmor, be sure to include the additional directories in the apparmor config.

    Sanity chk my storage server build pls?

    That just blew my mind. :) that's why I love you guys. What's your thoughts about using an SSD for a system disk on Ubuntu. Some of those apps I'm intending to use like mysql. I was thinking the SSD would give that a nice speed boost.

    Sanity chk my storage server build pls?

    Thanks for the quick posts, you've already given me a great deal to think about. Most notably is the SAS versus SATA pro's/con's. I do love the enterprise class nature of SAS, but given that I'm just using this box for media hoarding for the foreseeable future (big files, written once then...

    Sanity chk my storage server build pls?

    Hello folks. Long time lurker, first time poster. I was wondering if I could get a "sanity" check on a build I've been working on. The goal of the build is to create a storage server capable of running/presenting ZFS pools (media hoarding), media servers (plex), and downloading tools/indexers...

    As Promised: Finished Build Pics of my WC rig, featuring Phobya External Rad

    Hey there guys, I posted to the group a while back asking for advice so I figure it's fair to share what I've been able to build. Disclaimer...this is my first WC build, and my first PC build in over six years. My goal for the build was to create a desktop work/gaming machine. I run a...

    Can anybody find the Asus Rampage iv formula?

    I'm heavily considering this board for my next build, but I can't seem to find it anywhere. I imagine it's about to be released, but now I'm paranoid that I'm just missing it somehow. Can anybody confirm that I'm just too anxious, or clue me in to my fail? micah ----- build forthcoming

    Experiences with Mo-Ra3's or Phobya Xtrem 1260 Radiators?

    Hello guys, I didn't find a lot of folks with direct experience, so I made a gut choice and went with the phobya 1280 rad. When it got down to the nitty gritty of it, I figured since i was going external, i should go with the solution that gave me the most "external" flexibility. I chose...

    Experiences with Mo-Ra3's or Phobya Xtrem 1260 Radiators?

    I guess that does bring up the question of which is "better", multiple rads daisy chained together, or one big monster rad? My gut is telling me that since the water is moving around the same loop it doesn't quite matter so much, but my gut just ate some jack in the box, so I'm not sure I trust...

    Experiences with Mo-Ra3's or Phobya Xtrem 1260 Radiators?

    Well, I did find some youtube clips of the external radiator performance that was pretty compelling. They were earlier models, but they seem to be the awesome.

    Experiences with Mo-Ra3's or Phobya Xtrem 1260 Radiators?

    Hello guys, Looooong time lurker, first time poster. I'm hoping to connect with anyone who's using (or thinking of using) these large external radiators in their WC builds. I'm not new to system builds, but I don't have direct experience with WC builds and could really use a sanity...
