    Advice for starting my 1st ZFS system

    Yes, I know. I am used to ACL and quotas so I was thinking in those terms. Using the keywords Volumes / Partitions / File Systems is a bit harder when talking about ZFS.

    Advice for starting my 1st ZFS system

    I figured there was more to it. I know you can put multiple File Systems onto a zpool, just wasn't sure if it was mandatory or a method for partitioning the space.

    Advice for starting my 1st ZFS system

    I just purchased 5 3TB HDDs to expand my families Media Server. I was going to just mdadm a new RAID5 [4 x 3TB + Hot Spare] when I started reading about ZFS. I was hoping for some confirmation on a few points from others who have already been down this road before. Getting UUID: ls -l...

    HDTV as a PC Monitor < $1000

    Used http://www.displaylag.com/display-database/ as my source. Will admit that Samsung does dominate the 'Great' rating

    HDTV as a PC Monitor < $1000

    @Marm0t - Do you mean this: Seiki SE55GY19 55Inch @MaZa - Good to know. Guess that cable can go back into storage.

    HDTV as a PC Monitor < $1000

    I don't use a screen anywhere near close enough for 1080 content to look 'terrible.' As it is 720p content on my current sceptre POS is quite watchable (POS = so bad I need to use a VGA cable to get 1080p). The DVI-HDMI cable is not my actual in-use cable. It just allows some wiggle room for...

    HDTV as a PC Monitor < $1000

    Why not? I'm fairly certain 120Hz will be more important to me in 4-5 years than 4K will. If I get a new GPU 3 years from now would 120hz refresh be the norm? It just seems more future proof in my eyes than other tech I've seen as far as game-centric activities are concerned.

    HDTV as a PC Monitor < $1000

    I have dug thru Overclock.net, AVSForums, and this forum for information on 40+ inch screens as monitors. AVSForum seems WAY too rich for my blood, so I am asking here. $1000 for a screen is a lot for me. And an individual user screen aka < 30inch is never going to happen. The general...

    How old is too old?web browsing

    I've got a e6600 + 4GB RAM powering a 1080p TV with a Nvidia 6800GT inside. Windows 7 x64. Powerful enough to run Dark Souls 2 at playable (almost 60fps sustained, maxed settings) framerate when I toss a AMD 5870 inside. My father can't read without the firefox Zoom feature but a 46" TV helps...

    P8Z68-V PRO which sata controller is the fastest

    Raid can be loads of fun. You should really decide ahead of time what is going to control your RAID. If you use the motherboards, that raid won't always work on another boards chipset (if recovery is necessary). If you use a cheap add-in card it can hammer your cpu, that can lead to slower...

    Dying motherboard or something else?

    My favorite thing about troubleshooting is that when you finally call and then you can't get a single issue to appear when you need it to. $*&#$&!!! So. Anyone know how to stress-test USB ports? @pchealth_2: "Tried a different outlet, a different power cord, directly into the wall...

    Manufacturer Customer Service Questions

    Can't say I've had a chance to try out their customer service. The motherboard that I got from MSI in the middle of '07 worked right out of the box and is still running strong with windows 7 right now. It has constant activity daily. The BFG gpu did die last year and was replaced by a DOA xfx...

    Dying motherboard or something else?

    http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1682004 No Cross Shipping. Besides, if their tests couldn't show the USB issue, I would just get my board back after a month minus $15 for shipping it to them.

    Dying motherboard or something else?

    I did mess with those cables before ripping out parts. I must've removed and reinserted the psu mobo cables at least 20+ times during troubleshooting. I wrote to support first. I didn't get much to work with. About the best advice I found involved clearing the CMOS over several hours but that...

    Dying motherboard or something else?

    I am having strange problems with my motherboard and was hoping for help diagnosing the system before RMAing. First off, the PC is running right now. The only real change is that I haven't kept the system unpowered when not in use since it first powered on again. I usually completely turn off...
