You can e.g. use http://www.beyondtrust.com/Products/PowerBroker-Identity-Services-Open-Edition/ to connect to an AD domain, but it don't help me much.

Hi Does anyone know any guides how to connect an Ubuntu server to Open Directory? I like the Ubuntu server to be able to use the OD users for services, like file-sharing. I find a lot on Ubutnu to AD connection, but so far nothing good on Ubuntu to OD.

Hi all :) Im looking into this again. FreeNAS8 don't seems to have an iSCSI initiator. Can ZFSGuru be used as an iSCSI initiator? I like to connect my Synology box over iSCSI to an central filserver. Maybe I just should use an normal Ubuntu Server install instead.

Hi :) I follow this guide http://unflyingobject.com/blog/posts/1064 But its not complete, e.g. it don't say anything about that you need certs and how to make them, so I found some other guides on how to make certs on Ubuntu for OpenVPN. I have tried to have the same ip on both ends LAN...

No one? What Im trying to do is bridged site-to-site over OpenVPN. I need the clients on the vpn-client side to get IP from the DHCP server on LAN on the VPN server side.

Hi :) I trying to config 2 pfsense alix boxes for OpenVPN but are kinda stuck. What I try to do is to bridge the LAN, so that clients on the VPN client side gets IP from an DHCP server that i have on the VPN Server LAN side. I have tried many guides that I have found, but still nothing...

Hi all :) Im in a kinda possision now that I dont know if I want to continue with OI or something else after the ZFSGuru "disappeared" :( Im looking at the Synology DS1511+ and it has all what I need an more. Well, its an different platform, but right now I need an storage device that works...

Tried to install OI on my i3 fileserver. Came to the boot menu and then it dident get any longer. I used an USB stick with the USB image on, maybe something went wrong.... Gona get an dvd and an dvd-rom for the server and try that :)

MasterCATZ: Youre ATom is only 32bit I guess? The long error comes then you try to install an 64bit system on an 32bit cpu. ZFSGuru use 64bit mode only.

On the side; any of you know about an mini-itx mobo with 5-6SATA connectors?

Oki, I got it installed, but I cant get it to work. My client dont find the iSCSI targets whatever I do. Maybe one of you can give me an guide howto setup iSCSI on OI right? :)

Yust testet OI +Napp-it on VirtualBox. Works fine, but I miss iSCSI :( On the + sides; Easy to get AFP to work (I use OSX as cliets), easy to install. Ones I find my powercord to the Drobo, I wil test bouth this and FN8 on my hardware. But offcause, I realy realy hope ZFSGuru wil be...

Nevermind, I yust found out that something was wrong with the download :rolleyes:

barbz: If Im not wrong, FreeNAS use an light version of FreeBSD, and ZFSGuru use the full package, so maybe somthing differ there. danswartz: I tried to install OI on VirtualBox, but I came to an promt I dident understood anything of then I booted from the image...:confused:

hmmm. I think this is related to VM drives somehow, gona test on my server once I find my powercord to my Drobo so I can take backup of it, hehe :)

barbz: In virtual Box for you too?

Hmmm, I haven't heard of it before now, hehe. But it's looks like an full OS with no webgui, (like ZfsGuru or FreeNAS), and I really like an webgui to manage my filserver. By the way, tested FreeNas8 in virtual box, tried to make an raidz of 4 virtual drives, but I gust got an size error and...

Too sad, as Im too is waithing for the 0.8... I hope hes all right and write something here soon. For all we know he can be on vacation and dont have intenrett access. While we waith we can always try out the new FreeNAS 8 and see if thats any good.

And now, over to the enemy: Here is some pictures from FreeNAS 8.0 RC2:

Hi :) That nice feature to use an SSD as an cache disk, wil it be an GUI for that sooner or later?

Hi :) After I changed the defect drive the server has been good for the last 18 days now :D One thing I like to see next is AntiVirus, an interface to run it and schedule it :)

Can anyone explain how I can setup rsync between ZFSGuru and OSX? :)

Sub.Mesa: No special reason, I yust wana know if its possible :) On an real enterprise SAN, I know FC is common, and then lots of FC disc-units is merged into an big array of the controller, but I dont know if the disc-boxes runs it own raid. (I cant afford to try eg Apples XSAN, it require...

Hi :) Maybe I got it wrong out, try to explain better: Say I got 2 servers running ZFSGuru. This 2 got 6discs eatch, configured at raidz1. Bouth servers has exported all storage to iSCSI. On server nr 3 (the controller) I then wana connect to bouth iSCSI (say this server has 3NICs, 2 for...

Hi :) I got this crazy idea. As far as I know, an SAN is an controller server with some storage units connected directly to it over eg iSCSI or Fiber Channel. My thougt is that if I use, say 2 server with ZFSGruru, set the discs up and export them as iSCSI block devices, an controller...

sub.mesa: Nice to know its not bad for the system, but its shure is annoying, hehe. I guess I can continue to mov data to the server then :) PS: Sorry for not sending you anything yet, but Im buzzy with some work stuff. Wil get to the ZFS Guru manual Im working on as soon as I can :)

@RedHams: I see :) So, as long the ashift=12, everything is good, right? As for now, the Pool page dont show the sector sice at all. But that the GPT label are gone from the pool page and the 4K discs are totaly gona from the I/O Monitor is kinda confusing.

Yupp, everything good there: [root@zfsguru /]# ls /dev/gpt/ Raid5_1 Raid5_2 Raid5_3 Raid5_4 Raid5_5 Raid5_6 start [root@zfsguru /]# :) But according to the last command, the pool still runs at 4K, but in the GUI it show 512, right? Thats kinda confusing for the "none-terminal-guru" user.

They are formatted with GPT, yes :) If I run the command you said, I get: [root@zfsguru /]# zdb -e Storage_1 | grep ashift zdb: can't open Storage_1: File exists ashift=12 [root@zfsguru /]# I tried the export/reboot/import stuff, but still it likes to use the drive entry

Sub-mesa: How can it be normal that the 4K sectors go back to 512 after an reboot? If I run the "glabel status", only the boot drive show, not the data (WD) drives. The "Disk bandwidth monitor" page dosent show the data drives too. Maybe I should reinstall ZFSGuru.

jtg1993: Good its not only me then. Did it yust happend, or did it happend after an restart?

Sub: Did not help to export and import. On the disk pages, the GPT names show right, but on the Pool side, then I expand the pool, it show the other names on every disk. I have removed the bad drive.

Something more funny. After I changed the disk, I configured it with 4K sector sice, and the disks was named "GPT/Raid5_1", "GPT:/Raid5_2" and so on. After I shut it down, moved it, and booted it, the sector-sice says 512K, and the member disk names are: "ada0p2", "ada2p2", "ada3p2" and so...

sub.mesa: I tried that too, but the SMART told no errors. The same thing happend if I yust rebooted the server too, no errors in SMART, but they was back then I tried to copy data. Here is an picture of the SMART status after I ran the WD tools, this page is of the funny drive: I...

My system is as follows: MoBo: Gigabyte GA-H57M-USB3. CPU: Intel I3-530 RAM: Corsair 4GB Kit PSU: CoolerMaster SilentProM 600w NIC: Intel Gigabit NIC, PCI-E HDD: 6*WD Green 2TB, 1*750GB Samsung for OS ZFS_Guru ver 0.1.7 ----------------- I used the WD Data Lifeguard software found on the...

sub.mesa: thanks for all the info, now Im getting it :) I come back to my errors, right now Im running the WD hdd tool found on the UBCD (Ultimate boot CD). Looks like the tests gona take 4hours pr drive :o

Loto_Bak: Seems like we use the same drives :) I think youre right, yesterday, then I was copying some files, the copy stopped 50% and I got an error in OSX: Then I checked the server, one drive had fallen out with I/O errors. If I restart the server, the drive seems ok and is online, but falls...

To you all: I tried this on my WD green discs, but I then got more problems. Unexpected ZPool errors, errors then copy files to the server, and so on. Went back to the standar 512bit and 1MB offset (reserved space), and everything work mutch better :) So if youre on some green discs, keep it...

Thats all? No need to do anything special in the formating of the discs? As far as I see, an stand alone disk need to start on sector nr 2048. Standar in ZFSGuru I see its an 1MB offset in the format, but I dont know what sector that mean.
