    UK X-Case (XCase) Data Storage Products Thread (some Norco similarities)

    I'd raised my issues at the time but was basically told that's how it is, main issue is with the current version of the RM424 (the initial topic of this thread) the first version I have no complaints with. Unfortunately the second whilst having some improvements (hot swap fans etc) has the...

    UK X-Case (XCase) Data Storage Products Thread (some Norco similarities)

    As it was two years ago obviously you did a CC chargeback at the time? No way you should have just waited for that, especially when it seems to be circa 3-6 months between shipments reading between the lines. I've had a few things replaced without serious issue but I have had to pester, and a...

    800mm vs 600mm depth racks?

    600 is way too short for anything except network gear, i've got a very similar design 42u in 800mm and tbh I wish i'd gone for a 1000mm.

    Postfix/dovecot: Configuring mail routing on a per mailbox bassis

    Yes that will work fine with dovecot/sieve/mda. Each mailbox is still a seperate use and referred to as such, doesn't matter that they're virtual users without differing UID/GIDs.

    Postfix/dovecot: Configuring mail routing on a per mailbox bassis

    What sort of virtual users are you using? MySQL? The sieve files can go in the same directory as you are storing the maildirs, I have this setup and working without issue. Multiply/users/domains it works perfectly, unless you are doing something weird/hackish/plain wrong. Although i'm not...

    WS2008 Root CA Expired question

    Then you should be able to just re-issue a new cert and carry on, although I hope it hasn't been used too much as this setup is very single point failure and becomes completely insecure if the root is compromised, also if the root ca has only been issued with a short duration then i'd assume...

    Lab build help

    As you've got a seperate storage box avaliable any reason why you're planning on starwind over something like FreeNAS? Would be a better fit imo, give you the choice to use nfs/iscsi. Could go multipath 1gb with iSCSI (although that won't = 100MBps+ single transfers).

    APC Smart-UPS 1500 & NUT - Compatible? Setting up for ESXi

    Ah I know what you mean now, I'm pretty sure with APC it's only the BackUPS that aren't pure sine wave. Definitely never had any issues with the smart ups I've got and 99% of what I e got will have an apfc psu.

    Optimal raidz vdev sizes for 24 spindles?

    I wouldn't personally get hung up on alignment/optimum drive numbers as there's very little to be had there and worrying about that tends to catch you out elsewhere. I'd say either: a) Go 3x8 z2 if you don't want to have to move all the data off the pool then back on again. b) Go 4x6 z2 if you...

    RFC for a new FreeNAS build

    That's a lot for one box to do personally, especially one pool and 480GB of L2ARC is a lot for 64GB of RAM. I'd think about perhaps running on the VMs on an SSD only pool and loosing the SLOG and L2ARC drives, then using the rest to make up a few raidz2/3 vdevs for general purpose fileservin...

    FreeNAS - ZFS Checksum Errors

    As all the drives have been replaced and it's happening on multiple drives then replace motherboard -> ram -> cpu in that order. If you have something compatible you can use without buying new then even better. May be worth a post on the freenas forum but you'll be lined up and shot for using...

    FreeNAS - ZFS Checksum Errors

    Exact hardware used? When you say whatever disks you use do you mean you have swapped all 4 drives? And as a side note, raidz1 with 3TB drives is a) a terrible ideal b) asking for trouble.

    Will a single Cisco WS-C2960-24TT-L switch share a single gw-wan for all its VLANs?

    I'm not familiar with sonicwall but you'd possible have to create NAT rules for the new subnets as well if you want them to hit the internet. The switch is capable for what you want to do, you look to just need to ask a static route on the sonicwall so it knows where to access vlan 2/3/4.

    New to fiber. Need help getting this to work

    It'll be the gbic's that are either SM or MM, not the switch. The SFP port is purely electrical, the difference between SM and MM is the wavelength of light used amongst other things.

    zfs trying to replace drive

    Can you put it in [code] tags so that it keeps the formatting? It's hard to read like that, the GPT id's are duplicated in the lower section from the top drive that was also showing as resilvering which i've never seen personally. Can you also get the gptid to daX mapping as well so we can see...

    QNAP vs FreeNAS

    Tbh chucking a load of hard drives into an old system with freenas is going to range from not the best results to potentially data loosing. If you like the synology interface and "slickness" then you'll be probably be disapointed with freenas, as good as it is it requires far more knowledge and...

    Possible drive failure on LSI card, also need to replace battery.

    It's the URE you should be looking at, not the sense error. That drive is toast, check the smart data for it if you can and order a replacement ASAP. New drive and rebuild should be enough but you could hose the array and create a new one with the replacement drive and restore from backup if...
