    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Thanks Gea, I realize my mistake now. Still pretty new to this. So I should export the pool first then import it RO? Or are there steps I should be taking before importing? Thanks!

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    One of my drives in a 2 drive basic pool configuration has failed its SMART status. I tried pulling as much data off as possible, but now it has constant time outs and can't copy any more. What's the best way to retrieve data from this? Currently on OI+ latest version of napp-it (ESXI AIO) setup.

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    I did the replacement, but towards the end it was slowing down to around 4MB/s reslivering. The entire reslivering process took over 4 days. 2 days ago, it was at around 96%. When I checked yesterday, the pool didn't show up as listing anything, it just said "Pool Status:" and nothing was...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    Thanks for the quick reply and your work on napp-it, _Gea! How would I physically replace this disk? Do I leave the server on, plug in the disk and then select the bad disk to replace with the new one? Or should I really power everything down to replace it?

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    I need help with a potential problem with my 2 disk mirrored pool. As of late it has really bad access times (30 secs+) and some of the files after going a directory or two deep don't show up. Unfortunately I've never fully scrubbed this mirror (or any other pools I have setup). napp-it...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    On my pair of mirrored drives, one disk with smart errors is causing problems with access time and listing of files. Is there a way to shut off the bad disk, retrieve some of the files I need from the pool? My replacement comes tomorrow/weekend, but I need some files now.

    Connecting two routers to one cable modem

    All the ports are maxed on it. I mean I really should just start over at this point... (tomorrow is another day :)

    Connecting two routers to one cable modem

    Switch it is then. Unfortunately it means another wall wart to the problem. The other router is a Mikrotik, but I have a good setup on it right now which I'm unwilling to mess with. Thanks for the suggestions.

    Connecting two routers to one cable modem

    My ISP allows me to have 2 IP addresses and I'm thinking of hooking up two routers (1 wireless, 1 wired only) to grab each of the IPs. Instead of using a switch or hub, are there "splitters" which can plug directly into the cable modem and split into two ports? I'm trying to not add another...

    OpenSolaris derived ZFS NAS/ SAN (OmniOS, OpenIndiana, Solaris and napp-it)

    @Gea, Is there a procedure or proper way to shutdown the all-in-one server with ZFS? No files are being accessed or written to the ZFS pool but I don't want to interrupt anything it might be doing in the background. Thanks!

    Home network setup

    My Linksys router feels like it is going to take a dump soon and it feels long in the tooth, so I've been investigating many routes to add new devices into my home network. The WRT54GS runs tomato with OpenVPN and a black/whitelist updater. This is connected to some cheap Gateway branded 8...

    New Linksys-E4200 looks awesome

    I'm really loving the look of this. Hopefully Victek or the folks over at TomatoUSB decide to add support for this device. Was about to jump on a E3000 too.

    Decent cheap NAS?

    The D-Link DNS-323 is a very decent NAS (I have two, would have gone for the 343, but it wasn't out then). It's a 2 bay version (firmware supports 2TB drives, still being updated). 343 is a 4 bay version. 1 gigabit ethernet port (I think it supports jumbo frames), 1 usb, runs some kind of Linux...

    Help me zero in on mechanical keyboard (Canada)

    Which do you prefer more? Blues or Browns? I know it's a personal preference thing. I just like things to be quiet. I remember typing on those old IBM mechanical keyboards in school and the sound in that room drove me nuts. Also where did you buy your keyboard? Did you get by without paying...

    Help me zero in on mechanical keyboard (Canada)

    Is there much interest in mechanical keyboards? I've been reading up on them and it seems they are a niche. I want to try one just like the OP, but getting them from Elite Keyboards across the border seems to kill us with duty. Just seems like there's no selection here in Canada :(

    Thoughts on Ruse?

    I thought the beta was fun. Very simple concept, intuitive and easy to learn.A casual game. MP can be very exciting with good team and opponents. I feel the gameplay has a more macro feel to it (if that's what you like), but it allows you to focus more on strategy and keeps with the pace of...

    Best routers for DD-WRT?

    The Asus RT-N16 looks like a nice step up from the aging Linksys routers. Tomato TeddyBear mod supposedly works with this hardware. I'm pretty sure OpenWRT does too. I'd recommend those two before DD-WRT. Been itching at this model, there's still some features that aren't in some of the...

    Tomato or DD-WRT?

    Was using Tofu/HyperWRT then DD-WRT up until v23 sp2 I believe. I turned on to Tomato and never looked back. This was on Linksys WRT54G/S family routers. What won it over for me: - responsiveness in loading pages (web and local admin pages) - no "heavy feeling" probably caused by overhead...

    Zero-Day Flaw Found in Web Encryption

    Zero-Day Flaw Found in Web Encryption

    Yeah, but can't you patch the software that uses those protocols? The protocol is a framework, but you can change things on top of the framework to cover for inherent weaknesses.
