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

    Got it working. I had to add a user who wasn't on the current install to login. I had no root either. Thanks buddy! :D

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

    I had a mishap with my ESXi 5.1 hypervisor & lost my open indiana VM. I had Napp-it running a Raidz.The raid card & drives are intact. Is there a way a new install of Napp-it can read the file system on the drives (and rebuild the array) or is it a lost cause?

    pfSense help for a n00b

    I won't even go into how hilarious it is to compare CD-RWs to NAND flash rewrites. It's been shown that these drives can write an insane amount of data before meeting it's maker. How many drives fail due to NAND wear out vs controller failure? I'm not asking this rhetorically. It's something...

    pfSense help for a n00b

    I'm fairly tired of the SSD topic. If I want to put in an SSD & use it as a cache due to it's extremely low latency, that's not an odd or useless endeavor. As for SSDs wearing out, everyone who says they will are 100% full of it & everyone who's had an SSD die had a lemon. Read this thread...

    pfSense help for a n00b

    I was able to put in a command simliar to /boot/loader.conf (I honestly can't recall) & it brought up what drives were what (I believe it said ADA), but now it states something about how a change was made & it doesn't display the drives. I'll have to back track & see what happened. These...

    Thanks. That gives me a direction to look into. Much appreciated.

    pfSense help for a n00b

    Eh, I ask for help stating I don't know enough & get an ignorant response as if the guy knows better. Considering his pov on mbuf exhaustion, I doubt I'd want to take his advice anyways. It's also not wrong to ask how to change the setting since I keep running into what seems to be a problem...

    pfSense help for a n00b

    Where do I begin? If you actually go on pfsense forums, you'll see people using far more than 1gb. It depends on your needs & packages installed. Large caches are extremely useful for updating multiple windows machines. Obviously, there are other uses as well. Having a single spare...

    pfSense help for a n00b

    I recently built a pfsense box & I've found that the dedicated pfsense forum isn't fond of fielding questions that are more basic. Maybe you guys can help me out. I have a few questions. 1. Does anyone have a cheat sheet or solid walkthrough for certain ssh commands? Here's an example of...

    Triple monitor Korean setup?

    Ordered The Qnix QX2710 x3. Sound be fun. :D

    No video: Fix?

    Yes they are. Even for a refurb. The 2nd monitor's port 1 runs only at 720p, but the 2nd is holding true at 1600p. I figured it would die too considering one port is dead. I think all of this is more so some form of karma, lol. I'm very aware of your refurb site! $1800 for the PA301 is a...

    Triple monitor Korean setup?

    As I've never been a fan of glossy screens, I guess I'm stuck w/ the Qnix/X-Star as I won't run 3 different monitors for a single setup. Considering a matte (semi-gloss) finish hasn't bothered me, I should be fine with it. Considering you have ICC profiles available for Qnix, that seems like...

    Triple monitor Korean setup?

    Ok, this is what I gather from days of reading: 1. Most brand name monitors are below or only on par w/ the much cheap Korean counterparts. 2. The NEC is very overpriced, yet the BenQ & AOC are also extremely overrated from a price POV when compared to the better Korean panels. That goes...

    Triple monitor Korean setup?

    Thanks guys. I had a discussion with a friend of mine & he said his catleap's blacks are basically grey. It's an S-IPS panel I believe. Really turned me off as the blacks on my NEC are BLACK. I noticed NEC has an eco friendly version of the 27", the EA274WMI-BK. Basically looks like...

    Triple monitor Korean setup?

    Here's what I'm currently running: Video card: GTX 690: DVI x2, mini DPx1 (I have the 2 dual link DVI NEC cables & I would need a mini DVI to DVI cable if that would actually work.) I use my monitors for: gaming, productivity*, video watching *I do not need wide gamut since I don't do any...
