• Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.

    Counterfeit LSI SAS3081E-R

    I flashed both of mine to IT firmware and one did seem to work fine. The other one had cable errors on on of the connectors. Errors showed up when booting FreeBSD and in SMART data. Your cards may work fine but I would be weary of trusting my data to them.

    Counterfeit LSI SAS3081E-R

    Dealextreme support was non-existent. They never communicated with me at all except to generate a fake refund e-mail once I disputed the transaction with Paypal. Within 60 seconds of opening the dispute they sent an e-mail that said that the full amount had been refunded to my account but of...

    Would someone with an international calling plan or a VOIP account mind giving him a call to see what happened? I won't post his information here but it can be found on the whois information for zfsguru.com. Keep in mind the time difference when calling as it is a London number.

    ZFSguru NAS fileserver project

    So I just checked the SMART info on my ZFSGuru system and one of my drives has a Current Pending Sector Count of 18 and a reallocated event count of 0. Is there any way to get the drive to reassign those pending sectors with spares? Should I just RMA the drive now?

    I have twenty 2TB Samsung F4's that I want to set up as two 10 disk raidz2 vdev's under the same storage pool. I created the pool with the first 10 disks and then went to the expansion tab under pools, selected the next 10 drives, and set the redundancy as Raid6 (as with the original pool). The...

    Does your laptop support booting from USB and have you set this up in the BIOS?

    Intel SASUC8I stopping system from booting

    That is an PCI-E x8 card. Perhaps that has something to do with it? Do you have another system with an x8 slot you could test it in?

    Counterfeit LSI SAS3081E-R

    If you look closely my card is also missing the plastic bit in the back that redirects the light from an LED to a hole in the bracket. My bracket is solid, no LED.

    Counterfeit LSI SAS3081E-R

    First LSI support said they had no record of a card with my serial number and after I sent them some pics of the front and the back of the board they said it was counterfeit. The card came in what appeared to be a retail box. I can post some pics later. I am just as shocked as everyone else. I'm...

    Counterfeit LSI SAS3081E-R

    I just wanted to give everyone a heads up in case they were thinking about ordering a LSI SAS3081E-R from dealextreme here. I purchased two for my ZFS build a few weeks ago and have been trying to troubleshoot UDMA CRC errors I have been getting on one of the cards. I contacted LSI support and...

    I would encrypt the entire flash drive with TrueCrypt instead.

    Whoops, sorry about that. I updated my original post with that information. Also added explanation that you can begin configuring SABnzbd after running it in step 7.

    I am cross posting this guide from my ZFS Build thread so it can get some more eyes. I would appreciate if some folks could test it out and let me know how it goes: Here is part one of my ZFSguru software install guides. I managed to set up SABnzbd, CouchPotato, and Sick Beard and they are all...
