• 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.
    Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.

    napp-it ZFS Storage appliance for Linux + Solaris

    Hi _Gea ... Any ideas why I wouldn't be able to set the admin/operator passwords for napp-it? I'm running Ubuntu 14.04 (x64) and I've configured everything as per the guide on the website. I've entered new passwords under home > about > settings, but when I logout or restart napp-it...

    Unifi 802.11ac AP's

    Are there any more updates on peoples experiences with these AC units? I've just received two of them to run as trial units for a 60+ AP deployment, and I'm just trying to gather up as much information as I possibly can.

    Assessing the damage from my Norco 4224 Massacre

    I can see how a dodgy backplane might be able to damage a disk (as well as the backplane itself), but I'm struggling to see how any of your other components could have been damaged? When you say that the system "does not work", what exactly do you mean by that? Does it power actually on at...

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

    If they're mirrored, then I probably wouldn't be too worried about getting the data off the array. Order yourself a new drive, and just swap it out ASAP. In the meantime, run a scrub on the pool and see what it reports.

    Is a UPS better than a ZIL?

    At the risk of going off-topic, I'd be very interested to know what you're using to handle the replication?

    Restrict Interfaces on ZFS Server

    Unless I'm misunderstanding what you're trying to accomplish, wouldn't the simplest solution be to simply run you NFS / ISCSI data in a separate IP range and/or VLAN ID? That's a pretty standard best practice approach ...

    The perfect ZFS home server motherboard.

    I've been umming and ahhing about the Supermicro A1SAM-2750F for a while now, but in terms of "bang for buck" (especially considering what I actually need from them), these ASRock boards look like pretty clear winners to me. Definitely planning on grabbing a couple of C2550d4i boards once I'm...

    multiple ZFS zpool on one array

    There really is no ideal solution to this problem, but you might want to look at zfs copies as a potential option. https://blogs.oracle.com/relling/entry/zfs_copies_and_data_protection Basically, setup your pool as raidz (in order to maximise available space), but then you can specify...

    HP SAS Expander Owner's Thread

    I'm not sure whether it will actually have any impact on the problems you're having, but I have noticed that LSI have just recently released new firmware/driver updates for those cards which might be worth looking into...

    5.25 Inch Bay and an SSD. How to fit it?

    You'd be silly to waste all that space for only a single drive though, especially when you can pickup enclosures that will let you run 4-6 drives in the same amount of space. http://www.icydock.com/goods_cat.php?id=48 Yes ... there's cheaper options out there, but these are my favourite in...

    Snapshot schedule / retention - what's your strategy?

    Hi guys, I'm working on a new ZFS server at the moment, and I'm at the stage now of trying to figure out a decent snapshot schedule/strategy. Now ... before anyone gets up in arms, I know that snapshots DON'T replace backups, and we're already planning on replicating the data onto another...

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

    Indeed. I'm half way through migrating all my servers at home from Solaris to OI.

    New OpenSolaris troubles, new NAS hardware questions

    Is that only because he's having problems, or do you prefer NFS in general?

    ZFS: Struggling to understand thin provisioning behaviour.

    Thanks guys ... it does indeed look like you've nailed it, and I've just learned something in the process as well! ;) Much appreciated! --David

    ZFS: Struggling to understand thin provisioning behaviour.

    Did that ... the only difference is volblocksize = 8K (instead of 512 on the Napp-it created volume). I can't see how that would be related to the problem at all though?
