Thanks Gea. I have a mirror backup of the data so I will destroy the vdev and re-create it with my 4k+512b disks with ashift=12. I'll take your advice from a previous thread and retire my Open Indiana installation as well I think! Thanks, dL

Guys, I replaced a drive at the weekend and it has 4k sectors. My other 4 disks are 512byte. Is there a way to force the new drive to be 512? I have tried -o ashift 9 but it has rejected the command, I assume the results I am getting on Google are out of date. Thanks, dL

Hi guys, For context - I set this ESXi whitebox up some time ago and it was always a test bed; until it wasn't. It now stores a whole bunch of non-critical content (backups, audio, ISO images). Recently my brother somehow installed CryptoWall which nuked about 800Gb of files and we were only...

Understood - as expected. Thanks Gee. I really do owe you a beer, I think you must have helped me a helpful of times over the years.

Can you tell from the screenshot I posted (the imgur link) if snaps were turned on for tank? Or were they just turned on for rpool? I remember doing some work on the server about 18 months ago. Apologies for the rookie questions, the server is so stable I leave and forget it for the most...

Thanks for the quick response Gee. I'm not sure I'm in luck as it appears snaps were only turned on for the rpool: http://imgur.com/5W9OexO The files that were affected exist in tank/dave and tank/software/daves I'm currently reading through the manpages for snapshot restore to confirm.

Team, I'm still catching up from about post 120 but I have hit a huge issue. My brother has somehow managed to obtain CryptoWare ransomware virus, and it has 2048bit encrypted about 800GB of files on the server. Luckily (ironically) the computer that caught the virus has an issue whereby it...

It could be a combination of things. If they give you a /27 for e.g. they have lost 2 IP's for every other as you have a private D/G then. The place I worked at previously had PVLAN's setup, so your /24 would come in on VLAN1, but traffic matching your IP range would be in a sub-VLAN (a PVLAN)...

1. It won't work.

This guy doesn't know what TightVNC is, let alone configuring and installing FreeNAS. Dude, just right click a folder on your 'chosen' PC and configure sharing, then access it on the other PC's. Guide: How to share: http://compnetworking.about.com/od/windowsxpnetworking/ht/sharewinxpfiles.htm

Pay someone to do it, you really have no business setting this up for a business.

Vendor is http://www.waeplus.co.uk/ - UK obviously, sorry for not adding the units to the OP lol. They are local to me, otherwise I probably wouldn't trust just how good value they are. Friends room mate came through today as well and gifted me a intel rs2bl080 RAID card - so I will pass this...

Just uploading video of how I did this here: http://youtu.be/WKiBMizgOFI And this is how to convert from thick to thin provisioning (and side effect, backup your VM) http://youtu.be/bYE-gyKiel4

May have to do this sooner rather than later, as it's just happened again (lol).

Thanks for the explanation Gea, OI has been rock solid for absolutely ages until this and has saved my data on more than 1 occasion. What would be the way out of this trap then? Can I increase the size of the VHD dynamically or will OI throw a fit? I understand the snapshots can be imported at...

I believe the snapshots are occuring automatically, through napp-it. Should I disable this or change the lifetime of snapshots? Can you expand the VHD?

Hi all The other day my napp-it/OI box went down and couldn't come back up. It was because snapshots had filled the disk so it was in an unusable state. I fixed it by adding -s to grub (not sure if this even did anything), zfs list -t snapshot, and then deleting old snapshots using zfs...

Hi guys, I'm planning a new server build that will run ESXi 5.1, Windows Server 2012 Essentials (Plex, Sab, Sick), OpenIndiana and PfSense. Hardware: Intel Xeon E3-1230v2 (174.25) Intel S1200BTL (159.21) 16GB (2x8GB) Kingston ValueRAM ECC KVR1333D3D4R9SK2/16G (119.54) 3x WD RED 3TB...

I gave up on saving VM's, I can't afford the storage right now. In stead I passed through the USB 3.0 controller to server 2012, and setup cobian to just backup the files every day at 5am. Nothing changes regularly so I'm happy with this solution :) Also gives me the ability to just unplug it...

Correct, it's a small home environment (2012E backs up clients, runs Plex/SickBeard/SABNZB, OpenIndiana is file server and PfSense is router).

Hi guys, Brief rundown: ESXI 5.0, Intel Xeon 1230, 16GB of RAM, 3x 250GB HDD's for VM's. Hardware passthrough PCIE Sata Card to Open Indiana - 5x 1TB HDD's. 1x Server 2012 Essentials 1x PFSense 1x Open Indiana What's the best backup solution? I have just bought another 3TB WD RED to...

Yeah, and apparently the 861 doesn't support track - so this is as good as it gets.

For anyone interested, this is how I've configured it. It only works when the BT interface goes down, i.e. router failure or billing query however. I may implement IP SLA to track the default gateway route. Building configuration... Current configuration : 1670 bytes ! version 12.3...

Sorry, misread the question...think I was reading a different thread altogether lol - sorry. Yeah that would work fine, you don't need 3 routers though, just 2, and set the second as it's own ip range with the D/G of the main router

What router? Can only have same IP across two vlans using PVLAN's

Passed my CCNP Switch last weekend, that leaves TSHOOT to go and I can work on my CCNA Security then!

Hi guys I have a Cisco 861 which connects to a BTnet connection using FA0 I would like to connect FA1 to an existing ADSL router which will have no security on it at all, and simply forward all ports to the Cisco (technically a DMZ?) Then when the 861 fails I would like to make the ADSL...

Not sure if it's what you're after - but look up SPAN on Cisco switches

Hi guys: Major issue regarding Open Indiana today. It seemed one of the SATA connectors on my disk came lose through vibration yesterday, and on rectifying that one, another came lose.. I now have this: Can someone advise me on the best next-steps? Edit: zpool clear tank gives this...

I fixed it by plugging it in again, lol.

This is a 32gb micro sandisk usb memory stick thing, plugged it into my PC after 4 months in the car: Just a WTF moment, going to format it and start over :S

Hi guys, Just tried the GUI update to 0.9, and i'm getting the following issues: Software error: Can't locate UUID/Tiny.pm in @INC (@INC contains: /var/web-gui/data/napp-it/CGI /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0/i86pc-solaris-64int /usr/perl5/site_perl/5.10.0...

Hi all I have 2012 standard trial and I want to use it to backup my client machines - what WHSv1 does for me at the minute. Is there a way to add essentials like functionality to standard? I don't want to purchase any licenses as this is for a home testing environment. Looking to...

Last MSI board I had sucked balls, and warranty for Gigabyte in the UK can be lack luster. ASUS all the way

It's not 'off off' it's just soft button standby that's causing this. I.e. I put a movie on my 42" TV, turn my screen to standby - it thinks its been yanked/power plugged

Hi guys, I have a Dell u2711 plugged in using Displayport, great. I also have a Panasonic ST31 television plugged in via HDMI. The issue is, when I turn my Dell off and the Panasonic off, Windows thinks all hells broken lose and reverts all of my applications to 640x480 (or as small as...

Hey guys, I'm in my final year at University over here in the UK - and I need to write my thesis/dissertation. All the ideas I've had put forward suck balls, so I'm wondering what you guys would like to be researched in a semi-advanced level to do with networking? Hardware encryption...
