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

    My hardware is pretty new so hopefully what I'm seeing is due to improvements in 5.1 for newer hardware. Specs: Chassis: Heavily modded AIC RSC-4ED2 4U 24-bay (modded to accept an ATX PSU and silent fans) + rails Mobo: Supermicro X9DRI-F-O CPUs: 2x Intel Xeon E5-2620 (6 cores each=12x 2GHz...

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

    Upgraded to ESXi 5.1, updated my OI VM to version 9, and updated to the latest version of VMWare Tools and I'm getting better results. My network read speeds have almost doubled (60 MB/sec to 110 MB/sec) and so far I haven't had to restart the SMB server due to write speeds falling. I'm hoping...

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

    I had 2 cores but they were pegged during write so I went to 4 (which are also pegged during write--8 GHz to write seems high but I'm not worried about it). Specs: Chassis: Heavily modded AIC RSC-4ED2 4U 24-bay (modded to accept an ATX PSU and silent fans) + rails Mobo: Supermicro X9DRI-F-O...

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

    Was able to reproduce my problem. Overnight, my SMB write speeds dropped from 110 MB/sec to 70 MB/sec (but only SMB, FTP still saturated the gigabit line). After SSHing to the VM and restarting the SMB service (the only thing I did) write speeds immediately shot back up to 110 MB/sec. Any...

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

    I'm testing OI and Napp-it in ESXi 5 as a home ZFS NAS and all-in-one and I'm running into an issue. On a fresh boot, I get write speeds of around 110 MB/sec and read speeds of around 55 MB/sec which is fine. However, after leaving the server on for around a day, my write speeds drop to around...

    "Best" (quietest/coolest) third GPU to drive secondary displays?

    Current specs: GPUs: 2x EVGA GTX 580 3GB Hydro Copper 2 in SLI Main display: Dell U2410 Secondary display: Dell 2407WFP Just ordered one of the 27" Korean displays which will now give me 3 displays (with the possibility of getting 2 more for 3x27 in surround plus the 2 24s). However, I...

    Network pics thread

    Yep it scans the network for unconfigured APC cards and gives you its MAC address and lets you set a static IP so you can get into the web interface. Its called "Network Management Device IP Configuration Wizard" for the AP9617. Quick looking I couldn't find the equivalent for the AP9606.

    I had to use a tool from APC to set my card up with a static IP. The APC cards will only use DHCP if it has the vendor flag set.

    I got it on ebay with new batteries for $234 and I got the network card for $11. :D

    Yep! I looked at your pictures to see how the rack was--I really like it! Yeah I have a patch panel in the back which is wired into the patch panel in the front so I can completely disconnect the rack. A bit unusual, but I wanted the front of the rack to look super neat (and avoid crimping any...

    Quick shot of the in-progress home lab with an unorthodox method of cable management (patch panel to patch panel): (Excuse the cell phone pic--was in a hurry).

    Correct on all 3--Procurve 2810-24G, 24 gig ports, fully managed layer 2. My first managed switch I'll get to mess around with.
