Apparently it is. My bad.

H730 is a LSI SAS 3108 based card, that may be the issue.

No need for anything fancy like blades. Anything LSI 9211-8i labeled on ebay should work with a 24-port SAS Expander, some are feature locked by the vendor (IBM, HP, etc) but can be flashed to a plain 9211-8i. You can daisy chain them, but you have to remember, the SAS controller has a set...

1: It's driverless, your computer has no idea it is there. It needs to be connected to a SAS card which then presents the disks connected to it to the PC as connected to itself. 2: The card isn't detected by the mainboard, it's plugged into a PCIe slot simply to get power. 3: Going to leave...

Depends really. First, pfSense, Trixbox, DNS Master/Slave and ADC Pri/Backup can be run on ultra low power boxes and still have performance to spare. This with certain systems being perfectly suitable to be run on the same hardware and OS. Second, I'm wondering on how many ESXi boxes he...

Hi guys, for any of you using this mainboard, last week I reported some bugs with the board: - CPU Fan 1 and Chassis Fan 1 headers always run 100% speed. - USB Keyboard hangs in bios if not cold booted. - USB Mouse only runs verticaly in BIOS. - Clock settings for my DDR-3 2000 ram...

I've had a eee T91 for a few years now and I barely ever use the touchscreen for that, unless to pauze a YT video. For actual laptops, I'm thinking its the same thing, you'll use touch maybe 2-3 times a week (if you use the laptop daily), but outside that, moving from keyboard to stretching...

I'm thinking Optiplex 760's or somewhere in those parts. Even positioning of the OEM sticker and the latch next to it match to that model. EDIT: that pallet is a mix of 2 size models though. But fairly certain that its Optiplex 760 series or a slightly older model. With the 2nd and 3de smallest...

How exactly do you mean? You can't get Apache to run port 500 on 1 VM? Or are you having trouble assigning port 500 because it conflicts with other VM's?

1 up for the M1015, using 2 of them both paired with a HP SAS Expander. Had no trouble flashing it on P35 mobo from M1015 to IT and reflashing it recently from IT to IR with a 990FX mobo (Asrock Fatal1ty). The card is a beast. And DIRT cheap at that.

The original firmware I had on the 60's made the disks hard lock until power cycle after 45xx hours of operation (can't remember the exact number), it was a bug in the firmware code, where it tried to update the SMART counter for hours run, at that specific value and the disk would lock up...

If I'm not mistaken, ZIL removal is meant for you to start procedure to remove it, ZFS empties the ZIL cache to disk, then tells you its ok to remove. If the ZIL disk dies in the middle of writes, you're still in a world of hurt and left with incomplete writes.

dsumike: did you do firmware updates for that M4? When I bought my 30 and 60GB ones, I had 450/250 R/W, with firmware updates that became 550/480. Crucial doesn't use Sandforce and with that, they have to write their own firmware code, took them a while to get a hang of it, but now these...

I use Dxtory (paid for it though) and mostly record RAW to my SAN or lossless, depending on the framerate I'm getting, if it pegs at 60fps recording lossless, I'm happy, if it dips, I go RAW. Raw 1080p@30fps 200GB/30 minutes, double that for 60fps. Lossless 1080p@30fps I think to remember...

2 reasons, 1 because I had the ram and 2 because I'm using Dedup and Compression on several ZFS volumes, ZFS just noms away at any ram you give it. And I'm moving tons of data back and forth, so huge caches are very handy.
