Thanks guys, I didn't consider the fact I'm using the LTS but that makes sense. 🤘

Sorry if this is a n00b question but hopefully someone can give me a quick pointer. I'm running Ubuntu server 22.04.3 LTS I have ZFS-on-Linux installed - as per the project's installation instructions for Ubuntu, this is as simple as "apt install zfsutils-linux" - I don't need to add any...

What do you do for the database, SQL Server Express?

Curious whether others are running custom CCTV servers for home or small business, if so what software are you using? Not interested in paying a license if I can help it so... I'm trying ZoneMinder but it's a bit rough around the edges and seems very resource intensive (chews up a whole CPU...

Who said anything about AM5 or TR...? :P I want higher clocks on EPYC too!

Love the fact they are offering even higher TDPs, hopefully that's also the case on the lower core count models to give higher clocks and turbo :cool:

I've had success with an LSI 9220-8i (IT mode) into a Supermicro BPN-SAS2-826EL1 backplane (which has the expander built in) It's only SAS2 6Gbps but that's more than enough for HDDs.

Presumably there is an existing server for the same system of 15 users - can you tell us what that looks like to compare? What's the current user experience, is there an issue you need to address or they are happy and you just need to replace due to age? Difficult to judge when we don't know...

Really glad we have people like GN in the community who have the passion to tackle issues like this and hold companies to the right standards. 🙏

ZIL is the log itself and SLOG is a dedicated device that the ZIL sits on; by default if you enable sync writes but don't have a SLOG, the ZIL sits on your pool (hard drives in this case) which is bad for performance as you effectively write the data to the same pool drives twice. So if you're...

What's the minimum usable capacity you need to provide overall? This might help to narrow down what pool layout options are available to you in this scenario. For example if you need at least 250TB usable, that would rule out a pool of 2-drive mirrors, as (by my calculations) that would only...

What's the point, just focus on producing enough quantity of 3080s and 3090s...

Sorry if not clear, that's exactly what I meant. Not expecting it to be a totally different chip (if it was it should have a different model number)

What happened to just putting "M" on the end of the mobile version of the GPU? Companies obsessed with coming up with new naming schemes all the time, confusing AF.

You mean like live-time? That wouldn't be practical or cost-effective as there are so many real players, you'd need millions of these employees...! But perhaps you could employ a few hundred people for a few months to just play all the characters in the game over and over, then use their...

Personally I wouldn't want to game on a screen smaller than 17" And 17" laptops are not that heavy - in a backpack it's hardly noticeable (unless you're a small child...) To be honest I wish companies would make more 18"+ models, for those who are more towards the desktop/workstation...

Looks like I'll be running my 1070 until at least 2022...

But clearly devs are not doing a very consistent / reliable job of "taking advantage" of that - in fact some don't at all. And surely even if DX12 gives them very low level access to the GPU, it still needs to go through the driver. So I still feel like the driver would be a better method...? I...

My understanding of SLI and Crossfire is that the individual application (e.g. a game) is presented with separate GPUs and has to be coded to split its rendering tasks between them. This means compatibility and performance is flaky, unpredictable, etc - some devs do it well, others don't, some...

*Strangely excited even though I'm not in the market for a card right now*

I think this explains why der8aeur found the 6800XT is hard limited to 2.8Ghz If they let that go higher then there's even less reason to stump up for a 6900XT Gotta remember, all the new Radeons are very similar - all have 16GB vRAM etc. Also, I still think it's silly to call this an XT - why...

I don't immediately have an answer as there are too many unknowns in the scenario, but just some points to think about: - Backups should not be stored on the same physical system, unless you don't care about recovering from fire/flood/etc. Depends how critical your data is, what it's for, etc...

27"+ 1440p 120Hz+ HDR G-Sync/FreeSync Does a good monitor with all of the above exist? I am looking at the LG 27GL850, which claims to be HDR10, but Linus said in his review that the HDR is lacking/non-existent. Anyone in the same position and decided what to go for?

What's that chair? Looks sweet but is it good/worth the money?

lol I am also waiting for new mobile GPUs as I am in the market for a new gaming laptop. There doesn't seem to be anything official yet, except a few places reporting a sighting of a mobile part code ("TU104M") listed - I'm no expert but apparently this indicates a planned Mobile version. I'm...

.... But will it run Crysis? :whistle:

Can someone just confirm for me, which generation of Intel CPUs will address the Spectre/Meltdown vulnerabilities?

Unusual desk - details?

Is it seriously called Coffee Lake? I thought that was just an internets joke...

If this is just really a static media server you could look at the Seagate Archive 8TB (ST8000AS0002) - cheaper because designed for "archive" (i.e. write once and just make sure I can read it back at a reasonable rate if/when I need to) so not designed to give you great write performance...

Thanks for the replies so far. To be clear I am talking from the point of view of a serious corporate environment where security is a major concern, so storing documentation and passwords in the cloud is definitely not an option. Thanks firedrow, this is the kind of detailed response I was...

How much do you bet it sounds like a jet at take-off?

I figure this is the most appropriate section of the forum for this type of question. For those of you who work in a corporate IT environment, where you have many staff working in network/server/storage/system admin roles, how do you go about securely managing and protecting your documentation...

Why not ask Asus? :confused:

Either would work. From what you've said I think an E5 would be overkill so I would be tempted to try the Xeon D. I considered getting one but in the end I got something else second hand. It's more of a long-term investment with the low power savings and 10GbE may be useful at some point.

It depends exactly what you'll be doing but I think you'd probably be making it more complicated than necessary by adding FC/IB. Just stick with GbE, unless you have some extreme use case that you didn't mention? To maximise the size of your new pool you could export the current pool and then...

Awesome, love the first 3 films (and Legacy wasn't bad). Didn't know about this so thanks for posting this, now I'm excited :D

They don't though, do they? It is common knowledge nowadays that online businesses and the government use your personal data and track you. Some concerned individuals and activists are objecting, but most people aren't really bothered.

Certainly you have the choice with your personal devices, yes. What about at work, where Windows is mandatory? Application compatibility, user familiarity, support, etc all matter. I can't just decide that all users will now switch to Ubuntu - there would be uproar. In a large organisation it...
