Nice work on that. I am curious about the RB260GSP, routerboard site shows POE in is YES, does that mean that it can power on via POE as well, and if so, can it ALSO pass through that power to the WAPS? Would love to see if/when you run fiber to their garage how you do it. I am wanting to do...

I sure hope this isnt idicative of a problem, but it is only at 30% scanned, 48 hours to go, lol. No errors still.... could it be that I am at 68% of array in use? It was at like 28.95% done earlier...

Ok, so it is STILL running, about 30% done, with 15 hours to go. No erros found, so that is a plus. Do these scans address fragmentation as well? Zpool was 28% fragmented last night before the scan... shame on ME.

I am actually running my first ever (that I recall) zpool scrub now. Roughly 1TB per hour, 500 Meg done, 6 hours to go. I appreciate the link you provided, I will need to look into it. Thank you!!

Hello all, I am running a 2U Supermicro dual Xeon E5620's, 60 gig OS (Ubuntu 14.04 Server) with back up drive, dual 256 gig SSD ZIL/LOG drives, and 6 WD Red 4TB drives in a RaidZ2 array. This machine has been running successfully for a little over a year now, and I am still SLOWLY making my way...

Anyone??

Hello everyone, I am looking to see if anyone has experience with or opinions of 'Platinum Tools' products. I lent out my network cable tools to someone, or managed to lose them in the process of a move, so I have no idea where they are. I am fairly certain they were lent and not returned...

Just for the sake of comparison, do you have the space to run hardware at home? That is what I did. I bought a 2U Supermicro server and just run it out of my house. Save up a little for the hardware, then use the $100-$120 / month on your ISP. You can get a decent server for under $400 shipped...

Thank you for the suggestion, that is what I am going to do. I got the server and IBM card from ebay, you would THINK I would have checked there for the memory. Might as well get MY memory replaced too, lol. I found a seller with 16 gig lots (4x 4gig) sticks for $80. It APPEARS to be the same...

I ordered mine from Amazon. I got it for $20 shipped. It WAS more than that, but I signed up for a Chase Amazon credit card, got approved, and got a $50 credit towards my first purchase. It was TOTALLY worth it, LOL.

Is there a way to specify the picture size, or post just thumbs with a link to the full size pic? Sorry for the huge pictures. Current Network storage pool on the server is 14.2 TB, only 10TB free and shrinking. I custom build 6 (2.5") drive sled for SSD's in my server. I didn't want to...

Hello all, I am sorry if this isn't the correct forum for the post, please move it if you feel it would be a better fit somewhere else. I have a server at home with 24 gigs of memory, and I am looking to increase that, and htop is showing me that MUCH of that is in use. Currently 22 Gigs, and...

Well, I took the leap at purchased a server today. I went with a 2U solution which was under $350 shipped. This is MUCH less than I was expecting to spend. I can't wait to get it here and test it out and dive in! Supermicro SC826TQ-R800LPB Chassis (12 hot swap 3.5" drives) Supermicro X8DTN+...

I have 5 drives ready to go, they are five WD RED 4 TB (WD40EFRX) drives. My original plan was to put them in my desktop and start from there, but I have a bunch of WD 2 TB drives and some seagate 500 gig drives in it already, in addition to the fact that the rig is just dying. I would have to...

Looking at the Supermicro 846 series there are many different models. At first it seemed overwhelming, but then I briefly made a spreadsheet with the model info, back plane info, PSU info. http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/?chs=846 After going though this, I have determined...

Thank you all very much for your replies. I look forward to seeing how your build goes!! The SFF-8087 cables would be much preferred compared to having each drive have an individual cable, but at the price point, I can't complain. I would imagine that Supermicro HAS a 24 drive backplane with...

Hello everyone, I am still in the planning phases of setting up a storage server, and I have been looking around as some Supermicro rack mount cases. I am thinking a 4U case would be good, as to keep the noise down being able to run larger fans. This is a home project, which would act as a...

Side note.... Tracing over a VPN does NOTHING to troubleshoot latency issues. When you trace over a VPN, you will see the tunnel end points in the trace, but NOTHING between there. For example: (for the sake of explaining trace over VPN, ignore the IP addresses, they are used only as...

^ Exactly... Using that connection, do it with the expectation that EVERYTHING you do and see they have access to, completely insecure. The owner of the access point could be collecting all of the data that passes through it for all you know. If thats the case, may as well just leave a letter...

This happened back in August of 2010. I was engaged at the time, and she wasn't living in the house yet. I had sent her a picture of it, and she asked WTF I was doing. She wasn't mad about the damage, just wanted to make sure I was OK. Fell in the hole, caught myself on the joist with my ribs...

I should preface this by saying that I don't have ANY experience with servers, but I have been building computers for over 10 years now. Not sure if my DNS-323 would really be considered a 'server' or not, but it really doesn't have robust hardware, just minimal for SOHO use. So I still have...

Just say "Idle Assets" to someone from upper management, and watch their heads explode.... hahaha. Lots of you guys have really nice home network rack setups. A few of them I saw were almost absurd as to the amount of equipment in them, but perhaps some folks have work equipment in the rack...

Had wired my old house with ethernet and coax cable. Each room had a wall plate with 1 coax and 3 ethernet connections. Here is the network rack at the old house. Top of rack 24 port 5e patch panel - ports 1-8 were used to split phones to each room, port 24 was phone line in...

Same exact way I have my set up as well. I'm also in the process of re-ripping all of my music. I had MOST of it done years ago, but it was all with either iTunes, or some garbage freeware mp3 ripper, and the quality just as good as I would like. Right now, I am using Winamp with an addon...
