I will need a second Perc 5/i, but I do not need cables, I actually have 2 extra ones.
Sure, send me the link, I'll need it eventually. That is pretty cheap.
When the case is closed, it pulls it through the front of the case, over the drives. I'm not sure what the temps are, my Perc 5 isn't reporting it.What are your hard drive temps? I see the 5 (80mm?) fans, but I don't see how the air flows over the actual hard drives.
After wrestling with the server for days, I finally got it over to CentOS instead of Solaris. Solaris was a PITA to use from a command line, the commands were different from "normal" linux distros and they were bass akwards.
SO! After some stupid moments, I finally got the folders shared and everything is functioning correctly.
I also learned that fdisk can NOT work with disks larger than 2tb and you need to use parted to make the partition then format with a 4kb block size (EXT3) to use the entire array. To anyone that has an array this large and wishes to use EXT3, DO NOT forget the '-j' flag (journal), it takes over 1.5 hours to format the disk just to find out you formatted as EXT2 >.<
I'd rather start with something I'm familiar with firstno freebsd??
That it is. I finally got the server setup with no GUI and I just SSH into the box. I can work on it from work and it just makes it a ton easier than dedicating an entire 24" monitor to the server.a rather long mistake
CentOS is pretty fun to play with its been good to me atleast.
I wasn't using it to its full potential. Combine that with the command line being a PITA made me want to switch.no more zfs?
