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

    Has anyone tried SAS multipath with an LSI9211-8i and a solaris flavoured os? I'd really like to to this with IR firmware which passes the disks through, since this gives me ses, which is lacking in IT firmware. Single controller gives 4 paths, and dual gives 8, but with oi147, the...

    storage server build questions

    OpenSolaris & OpenIndiana (latter preferred for the zpool scrub lower impact) Two with smart errors - non fatal, so the drive was manually replaced via zfs cmd to a replacement. 7 disks per raidz stripe in one zpool for 28 disks + 2 spares

    storage server build questions

    If you want a tested solution: SMC X7DWN+ in 846E1 chassis with AOC-USASLP-L8i and ST32000542AS disks I have had about 150Tb in three of these for over 12 mths. Easy to expand with a 846 JBOD. Performance is reasonable for the cost, and they don't exhibit the usual timeout issues on some disks...

    IBM ServeRAID M1015 Solaris JBOD?

    I'd change that to ZFS is capable of exposing weaknesses in any attached storage system. I can peak at over 1Gbyte/sec local disk io with SSD ZIL. I have finally achieved a stable design of IT mode controllers, SMC expanders and very selected disks. (ST32000542 or ST32000444SS) I avoid all...

    One for the gurus! Lets see if you can solve ; )

    Mounting the drive from another system and then scanning it for viruses is how I normally handle this for data recovery. The PC I mount it from is usually running Avast. I haven't found any of the bootable cd based offerings to be useful. To remove the virus, reinstall the boot loader, and...

    Using standard sata drive in IBM EXP100 enclosure

    Being SATA disks, the sector size is fixed. I did try to find out what was different, but since the disks were small, I gave up without finding any significant difference with the usual sata disk tools.

    Using standard sata drive in IBM EXP100 enclosure

    They are a little "worse" than firmware locked. If you use the disk in anything else, it will no longer function in the EXP100 on a SAN. I "borrowed" a batch for some testing in a PC & they wouldn't go in the SAN again after that. The same firmware is also found in the generic drives.

    Sata 6gbit disk issues with expanders

    Yes, the 3gbit SAS-1 versions. I've tried with 826E1, 826E2, 836E1 and 846E2. Some are worse than others. I haven't any Ex6 version to try yet. The ST32000641AS is the new 6gbit SATA interface.

    Sata 6gbit disk issues with expanders

    Has anyone experienced issues with the ST32000641AS 6Gbit Sata disks and expanders ? These don't seem to play well with the Supermicro 3Gbit SAS backplanes. Expanders only negotiate 150Mbit or simply refuse to work in that bay. :mad:
