N40L goons: Anyone know what socket processor the motherboard takes? Reason I ask is that I've got an AM3 Athlon II quad-core sitting around not being used that I'd love to plug in if it's compatible. Should I even bother looking into this or just stick with the crappy (in comparison) Turion?

I'm having trouble with permissions management on my nas4free box. Is there no way in the GUI to create/manage folders in my zfs datasets?

What I woud like to do is have individual logins for each user in my company, and depending on the group that the user is in, r/w access to various datasets. If the user creates a file in those datasets, the permissions are set to rwx--S--- for that user only, so that other people with access to that dataset cannot access that new file. How can I make it so new files created in a dataset inherit the permissions of the dataset? Right now I have to manually change the group permissions for all directories so all my users can access the directories.

This may be more of a general FreeBSD question, but I have a problem with FreeNAS deleting files from my /etc directory on boot.

I have created an rsync task to do a push to a remote server once a night. The remote server requires a user and password to connect, and FreeNAS says I have to create a file with the password in it. I put the password in a file at /etc/rsync_module_backup_password and gave it chmod 600 permissions, owned by root.

Whenever I reboot the FreeNAS system, the /etc/rsync_module_backup_password file is gone.

Why is this? Is there a better place to put the password file?

Mantle posted:

From the link:
If the rysnc server requires password authentication, input --password-file=/PATHTO/FILENAME in the "Extra options" box, replacing /PATHTO/FILENAME with the appropriate path to the file containing the value of the password.

Unfortunately the rsync server is an embedded shitnas so it is not flexible enough to do a properly secure rsync setup.

poo poo yeah. I've got the OG Norco RPC-4020 and it's been solid, both in an actual rack and sitting on some IKEA tables. That's pretty pricey though, I don't remember if it was a massive sale or not, but I paid around...250 I think back in 2009 for it. ()

I'm down to 3TB free though, so maybe I'll need to upgrade to a 4224 to fit 4 6-drive vdevs in there, or start resilvering my drives up to 3TV.

setfacl isn't throwing any errors, so I think it's ok to write it the way I have.

I am now 99% of the way to getting this working as intended now with the following commands:

code:

find . -type f -exec setfacl -m owner@:rwpdDaARWcCo::allow,group@:rwpdDaARWcCo::allow,everyone@:rwpdDaARWcCo::deny {} \;
find . -type d -exec setfacl -m owner@:rwxpdDaARWcCo:fd:allow,group@:rwxpdDaARWcCo:fd:allow,everyone@:rwxpdDaARWcCo:fd:deny {} \;

When I am creating new files and directories in the shell and via SFTP, the permissions are being inherited correctly from the parent directory.

BUT... there are still a few conditions where the permissions aren't being set correctly:

1) when I drag and drop a new file/dir in Finder over ssh via MacFusion, the files are being created with 644 and 755 permissions
2) when I drag and drop a file/dir to the share via CIFS in Finder, the files are being created with 644 and 755 permission

When I create the files in the share via Finder or create a file directly in the share via the save function, the permissions are correct! It is only via drag and drop that the permissions aren't working.

Anyone have any idea why that might be?

TL;DR Default file ACL is being set correctly upon file creation, EXCEPT when dragging and dropping. Why?

Matrox G200 video? WTF? Matrox is still around? How old is that chip anyways? Why not just use the integrated intel graphics?

McGlockenshire posted:

It works but there is no way to tell it to not use all of the available space on the target disk and there is no way to prune old backups without traversing the filesystem yourself and nuking archive directories by hand. It will therefore use all available disk space and then whine very loudly about how stupid it is.

This is awesome! Thanks!

I had a friend (whose professional specialty is enterprise storage) tell me that I should avoid trying to build a 4+ disk file server with hard drives inside a single case because of heat issues. He strongly recommended I get a basic JDOB eSata or USB3 enclosure instead. Is he paranoid from his enterprise lifestyle? Have any of you storage goons had any experience like that? A raid enclosure adds a couple hundred bucks to the cost of a build.

What are you basing this on? I can't say I've tried it myself (the only e350 I have is a net book and I haven't tried booting it with nas4free) but a quick Google seems to show people running both it and FreeNAS on it.

As far as the RAM, gb-per-tb is nice to have but not required by any means as long as you never turn on deduplication. I have 10gb dedicated to my n4f vm which is up to 13tb usable and even then it still had plenty of free memory.

Oh, never turn on deduplication. Ever.

I don't understand the appeal of a lack rack. The entire point of rack mounting is space saving and ease of maintenance due to rails. Every lack rack I've seen just has a device screwed directly into the table legs, making it totally impossible to get at without unscrewing it from the legs.

Is it just some lovely cargo cult thing or am I missing something that makes it better than just putting your device on top of the table?

My FreeNAS server (N40L) lives on the same battery backup as my PC. The UPS (CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD) is more than powerful to handle both. The problem is that the UPS only has 1 USB output that I have going to my PC. I need a way to get my N40L to shut down safely whenever there's a power failure. What solution would you guys use? I hardly ever shut down my computer (but I'll restart once every week or two), so creating a task that triggers on shutdown that sends a shutdown command to the N40L seems like the way to go. Have you guys done anything like this?

ZFS supports spares just fine, I don't know why Freenas would not support it.

Maybe do it from the command line?

It's a dual CPU quad(eight?) core with 4GB of RAM. I would prefer to keep the xserve, since we use them at work, and I'd like to get a better understanding of the hardware.

So, ordered the Norco RPC-4020. Was actually leaning towards the 4220, but Newegg via eBay has the 4020 with free shipping (but not on the 4220 or on either when ordered from their website), which saves me another ~$20 in addition to the $20 cost difference and savings from not having to buy SAS reverse breakout cables - total cost came to be about $90 cheaper compared to the 4220, which is worth the slight increase in annoyance when it comes to cable management.

Also ordered the 3 x 120mm fan bracket (also off ebay, because Norco's web store charges $15 to ship the $11 part), so now I need to figure out what fans to use. Being in a 1 bedroom apartment, I'm going to have to keep the thing in my living room, so I'd like to keep it somewhat quiet. Normally my go-to fans at 120mm are the Corsair SP120 Quiet Editions which I use two of in my FT03 Mini, but I'm not sure that's going to provide enough airflow. I haven't used them personally, but the SP120 High Performance Edition seem to be well received (it was the winner of Xbit Labs' 120mm fan roundup for faster RPM fans). Anyone have any experience with using 120mm fans in a Norco RPC-4020/4220/4224 (preferably loaded with drives)? I do expect to eventually actually use all 20 drive bays, so would want something that will be able to handle that.

GokieKS posted:

There's just no other place that I can put it when taking into consideration size, power outlet location, and network cabling. And really, noise from the drives shouldn't be that bad - I'm going to be the only one using it and most of the time they'll just be idling. My current file server is an old Phenom II X3 in an even older CoolerMaster WaveMaster case running 7 HDDs, and the fan noise definitely is a much bigger factor than hard drive noise.

So, still looking for fan recommendations if anyone has any!

Anyone that has a HP N40L have access to the latest up to date BIOS / drivers (if any are required for FREENAS)?

I just picked up a spare and this one is apparently out of warranty and apparently any access to download drivers / BIOS updates from HP now requires a service contract/registration. What the heck were HP thinking?

So baby's first Synology DS214se arrived.

I'm using a mac, chucking 2x4TB WD reds in it. I've read a little bit, but is there a good do/don't list for using a NAS?

Mainly, it's just to protect my important family photos etc.

Welp, found a good deal on an N54L so it's being delivered tomorrow.

My first thought was to install ESXi on it so that I could run XPEnology on one VM for my storage needs, and then have another VM for a download server. But... would it make more sense to just install Ubuntu Server or something and use ZFS and share via CIFS or something, instead of having a dedicated NAS OS?

I recently picked up a M1015 and am trying to find a SFF-8087 to SATA cable that has 90-degree SATA connections (my HDDs get pretty close to the case edge). Anyone know of any that aren't made by some no-name Chinese company?

Isn't the (admittedly enterprise-based) rule of thumb for ZFS to target no more than 80-90% utilization?

Ugh. Got a 3TB Red to replace a failed 1.5TB Seagate drive. The old drive had 512b sectors, the new drive has 4k sectors. I can't do a zpool replace:

code:

cannot replace c0t5000C5003CCFE522d0 with c0t50014EE0AE79A5E3d0: devices have different sector alignment

This is currently running Solaris 11 Express (I know, I know, I'm planning on reinstalling with 14.04 and using ZFS on Linux "soon") does anybody know of a way I can trick the system to make this work?
