It's a small organization, so no LDAP is in place currently. For the number of users, it probably would be a bit overkill. I finally got smbclient to install correctly into the vapp, but now it's being a pain to connect to the Lacie NAS via SMB, so that's yet another issue that I've got to...

So I'm working on putting together a server (most likely virtual appliance) to act as a central download, sync, and s/ftp point, or at least that's the goal. We're currently using an aging Lacie NAS that has some file browsing capabilities, but it's not pretty and is slower than desired. There...

I get that support is an issue, but I was specifically told to disregard that for now (yes, I realize the absurdity of that request). I'm more looking at the technical aspects. E.g., is a layer-3 switch really necessary, is there a preferred topology from ISP to phones, etc. I already pitched...

Hey all, So my office is going from digital phones to VoIP due to some changes in our ISP subscription. We've gotten quotes from two companies, both in the $20k+ range for a 17-line system. I recognize there are cheaper ways to do this, but that's not my instructions here. My instructions are...

Nobody has ANY opinion on the best $300 combo of mobo, CPU, and GPU? I figured this would be a thread rife with fanboys at least.

So I'm trying to put together a mini-itx system for my new office computer with a budget of around $400-600. Most of the requirements are basic (Word, Excel, etc.) but I also tend to also use virtual machines a bit and do some mid-level gaming sometimes on a lunch break or during an office LAN...

Just to keep this updated in case someone benefits from it in the future: So incredibly long story short, I think the drives were having an issue with the SB7xx drivers for Win8. The SASLP-connected drives worked after a few disconnects, reconnects, and reboots; so I'm thinking those were...

Posted to HSS to get their input as well: http://homeservershow.com/forums/index.php?/topic/7664-gpt-protective-partition/ If anyone else has any ideas, let me know. Apparently I'm not the only one that has seen this sort of issue.

Alright, so I installed 2012 R2 Essentials to see if it would be happy... of course not. I forgot that a while back I tried to do the same thing and discovered some weird partitioning issue (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1748573). Well, it's happening again. I managed to do the...

Does Essentials 2012 R2 fix the buggy-ness of that was present in the backup/recovery feature of WHS2011?

What WHS was doing was essentially browse-able system images. I think I had it set to retain 5 daily snapshots, 2 weekly snapshots, and 6 monthly snapshots. As far as I know, those were all iterative backups and not each an independent system image. I didn't think rsync would be able to do...

So I've been running WHS2011 for a couple years, and it has served me reasonably well. The main (really the only feature) that I use it for is the nightly backup (and occasional restore in the event of a crash). This feature, however, is buggy has crap and often has issues. After realizing that...

I don't know that I'd say a "common" problem per se, but I know the speed problem exists for at least my setup and one other (http://forum.flexraid.com/index.php/topic,2932.0.html). There seems to be some issue with saturating the CPU for no reason as the units increase, so I'm guessing there is...

Speak of the devil. Just got a beta build from Brahim that might fix the permissions issue (not the parity creation speed though). I'll report back if it helps, but if anyone has any idea about the parity creation speed, I'd still love to hear it.

Hey guys. I've posted to the Flexraid forums for two weeks now and haven't gotten a single response thus far for my issue, which is infuriating. Link: http://forum.flexraid.com/index.php/topic,3509.0.html My basic issue is this: The configuration is CC Snapshot, 7DRU (2x3TB, 5x2TB), 2PPU...

Thanks for the link. I'm trying to replicate a similar situation and have so far only managed to completely stop the OS from booting with anything but IDE mode set. I'm reinstalling and I'll try to replicate the swap to AHCI mode. My guess is the drivers are throwing a fit, as the other...

I upgraded the drivers for the SB7xx chipset from AMD to the latest, but still no dice. I plugged in my WHS2011 SSD and checked to make sure all the Reds still detect correctly; they do. All four drives show up as single 2.73TB partitions. And I wasn't running the v4 driver for the SASLP either...

I had all four Reds connected to the onboard SATA controller (which is running in RAID mode with the broken RAID1, they're obviously not in the RAID). The motherboard is a Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2, which has AMD 740G + SB710 Chipset. This was working fine with WHS2011. I just found the v4 driver...

Hey guys, I had a WHS 2011 system running with FlexRAID (Snapshot+Pool). I recently had some drives start to go, so I preemptively traded them out for 3TB WD Reds. I got everything back up and running, and then decided I wanted to migrate to Server 2012 Essentials (instead of reinstalling WHS...

I have an Antec Fusion Remote Max. It's about the size of a receiver, will fit ATX, and I think you could put the H-50 on either of the back fans (though you might need an adapter for the 140mm fan)

I thought about this, but I've never actually experienced this in real life. Anyone have experience with a laptop frying drives?

I installed 3x64GB Crucial M4s into my WHS/FlexRAID (2 in R1) and an old laptop (1). Since then the two in the server have run perfectly. About a month or two ago the drive in the laptop (Inspiron E1505, IDE mode [no AHCI], Win7 x64, TRIM enabled) started getting very slow, then freezing, then...

I use MX-4. Most decent pastes will be within a degree of each other and most of that difference is just variations in mounting that is normal (ie, not statistically significant). My only real necessity when buying is that isn't non-electrically conductive and easy to spread. MX-2, MX-4, TX-2...

I recall seeing another app called Iris, which was similar to Siri, a while ago. Looks like they've done some updating since then. I don't have any first-hand experience with it though, so take it with a grain of salt. https://market.android.com/details?id=com.dexetra.iris

Alright, for anyone that has this setup in the future, here's the issue (or at least what I think was the issue): The max number of entries which could be selected under the BIOS for a HDD boot device was eight (including the "Add-In Card" or whatever was on there that would never leave). When...

mmmkay. So I got all the drives to detect. 6 on the SASLP, RAID1 on SB700, 3xHDD over 8087 reverse cable from the Norco backplane. Still not able to get the card to take more than 8 drives with the RAID1 enabled. grrrr

Setup: Gigabyte GA-MA74GM-S2 (SB700 southbridge) SuperMicro AOC-SASLP-MV8 Norco 4224 5x2TB, 3x1.5TB, 2x64GB (SSD in RAID1) Formerly, system was working with two rows of Norco filled and running over SAS to SASLP card ports on WHSv1 running off a 500GB HDD. Two drives were also connected...

Cool! Thanks for the help. I figured it was something stupid like that. Happy New Year!

The cables I bought were: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816116099 Should be CBL-SFF8087OCF-10M (wayyyy too much length, for anyone curious in the future that finds this thread. Go with the .5 meter!). So it looks like I have "forward" cables and what I actually need is...

I have a Norco 2442 and twelve drives on WHS2011. Two are SSD and run normal SATA cables straight to the onboard SB700 (RAID 0). Eight are HDD and run over two SAS 8087 on the backplane to SAS 8087 on both AOC-SASLP-MV8 ports. This leaves me with twelve free drive bays but no other SAS...

FYI about Simplecoin being down: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=48915.0

One of the fans on my Sapphire 6950 2g dual fan (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814102945) started wobbling and catching the heatsink. I figured I'd just RMA it, but I've so far read horrible things about the Sapphire 3rd party RMA process. Aftermarket HSFs cost $40+ and...

So you used Phoenix/CGMiner and just pointed it at a TBX worker? Does that actually work? It seems like it wouldn't properly calculate the hashes.

How were you able to get it to run on a GPU? I don't see any way to customize or force it on a device.

I think it may be better to do 8*1.24, but then again I'm not sure how that works. I'd assume each thread is at 1.24, thus giving you a higher total yield than 6*1.6. Then again, if the number reported is simply the aggregate total then you'd be better with the 1.6KH total. You probably...

So after minerd runs for about 3 minutes, pegging whatever usage I give it (2 threads, so 50% of the quad) it stops doing 1.5 KH/s or so and starts throwing "inf KH/s" with the occasional "0.06 KH/s" and the process is no longer using more than 1% of the CPU. I've had it happen on three...

I probably won't have to pay for it when I put the cards in my server in my parents' basement. If I do though, I think their electric is a bit lower than the cost in the link above... around 11.5 c/kwh.

I tried the tweaks posted earlier - http://hardforum.com/showpost.php?p=1037460056&postcount=305, but I saw no appreciable difference. I haven't figured out how to configure one of the other kernels to surpass the stock OpenCL. If the card is new, it's likely laser cut and even if you can...

The CPU miners barely break even on their use. They run about 40 watt over idle and generate around 15 MH/s each. Thus they generate about a cent a day profit after removing electric. I've been watching Slickdeals, ebay, newegg, and amazon like a hawk for deals on 69xx cards. I figure I could...

Found out my workers/accounts weren't syncing properly with uswest. If anyone has issues with BTCG I highly suggest stopping over to the #btcguild channel on freenode for help. There are lots of miners and at least one admin in there that are huge help and happy to answer any dumb question. Lots...
