It took over a year, but our storage vendor just confirmed a bug in the way OSX implements SMB. It's not actually their fault, they opened a ticket with Samba who opened a ticket with Apple.. To reproduce the bug: OSX1010 is 10.10.2 OSX1011 is 10.11.2 Both users mount an SMB share "networkdrive1" OSX1010 creates a new folder "1010-a" OSX1011 sees "1010-a" folder as "Untitled Folder" OSX1010 creates a new folder "1010-b" OSX1011 can't see "1010-b" OSX1010 creates a new folder "1010-c" OSX1011 can't see "1010-c" OSX1011 can't properly access "Untitled Folder" OSX1011 unmounts and remounts "networkdrive1" OSX1011 sees previous changes made and actual names of "1010-a", "1010-b", "1010-c" etc as a patch: create this file /etc/nsmb.conf inside paste this, and than reboot: code:

It's weird (to me, as a VAR) that one VAR is pitching solutions from multiple vendors. That's generally a no-no. What HDS array are they going to quote? I've managed HDS in a past life and while the hardware is generally good (on the VSP line, the AMS is another story) the management and features are pretty lackluster. Not sure how the newer flash based stuff does, but the older VSP stuff wasn't anything special from a performance perspective, but it was very very stable and the dual active active LUN access was a nice feature. The AMS was pretty lackluster. EF is similar to HDS in that it's not particularly slick or feature rich, but it will perform well. Solidfire is the newest of the three by far and was built with service providers in mind. It's a scale out shared nothing architecture so there's no monolithic back end and dual controller setup like with the others. You'll get plenty of performance out of it and it will be easy to scale if you need to add additional capacity/performance, but it may end up being overkill for what you need.

Often if a vendor finds out that you've double registered an opportunity (pitching both their solution and a direct competitor and asking for preferred pricing for both) they will pull your registration and you will no longer get preferred pricing, which makes it impossible to provide a decent price. Also, on another note, I'd really talk to Nimble if I were you. I'd take their all flash solution (or hybrid) over any of those options excepting maybe Solidfire, depending on how their scale out model fits your growth. And probably even then.

evil_bunnY posted:Netapp is the same. Extended support is also the same. Well, Solidfire has all inclusive licensing and the EF only has on add on license, for encryption, so they can't really get burned like you can with FAS by not buying the feature licenses up front. Potato Salad posted:I'm also about to embark on a great crusade on getting ssd nas. We are currently netapp. VMwate nfs shop. The smallest system you can outfit with all SSDs would be a 2520, but there's no point, the controller doesn't have the horsepower to do anything with them. The smallest all flash optimized system is the FAS 8040 with 4.8TB raw, which should get you around 10TB usable. Pricing is based on too many things to give a very useful number, but based on list price maybe 40k.

To my knowledge our VAR is smart enough not to get us hosed on that front. If one manufacturer wants to get their knickers in a bunch then thankfully there are a lot of knickers in the game. They can put me on the phone with the panties bunched one and I can talk my way through their stupidity. "Building a relationship" and "unsure of the space, have to see a lot of options to be comfortable" and "need someone really willing to work with us and grow" and "we always require this of our VAR, they pushed your solution first/the hardest/[lie as needed]" and "do you want my money or not poo poo for brains?" Once we've picked a path forwards we will work hard on the pricing front. One of these vendors owes me steak and whiskey. I'll talk to them about Nimble. Guess I'm getting 4 quotes.

Being in the construction industry, our file servers are filled up by 70% images. While I've done one-off image resizing and compression runs, I have to talk with departments before and after in order to avoid situations where they get resized to something too small. They need to be able to zoom in and see minor details. Does anyone have any recommendations for preferably a command line utility that I could set up to do compress photos at 90% quality on a schedule? I want to set it up so it runs every day/week whatever makes sense. Looks like there are plenty of options, looking for first hand experience.

I really don't know much about image compression and haven't worked in that kind of environment, so there goes the first hand experience requirement, but... There was a really interesting article recently about a compression that Dropbox developed that they just recently open sourced. May be worth a look? https://blogs.dropbox.com/tech/2016/07/lepton-image-compression-saving-22-losslessly-from-images-at-15mbs/

I use this powershell script: http://poshcode.org/621 You set the minimum horizontal resolution that will be resized, anything smaller gets left alone and larger gets resized to that minimum. Reduced our total image size usage by about 70%.

Quick NetApp question. I need to enable a discovery script to walk all our shares and files/folders in them. The existing state of the ACLs on all this data is unknown. The system in question is 7-mode. I could swear there was a option buried in priv set diag that allowed you to define users that could bypass all the ACLs. Essentially give them access to everything. Was I taking crazy pills? Did this option exist at one point? What was it called?

You're probably thinking of storage level access guard, which applies a new set of ACLs on top of the existing NTFS ACLs. Unfortunately, that will only further limit permissions, it can't override existing NTFS permissions.

Anyone have any experience with HP's StoreVirtual VSA? Only looking at it because I'm looking for cheap servers and shared storage for a site that was set up with no budget previously. They're running on a $50 poweredge 2950 right now, and I'm trying to get approval to at least buy some refurb servers and shared storage of some sort. Open to any suggestions.

VSA wasn't cheap when I last looked. Do you absolutely need shared storage? If I had to do cheap I would most likely use servers with local storage and Hyper-V to get something approaching HA. Buying a used SAN with no support is a good way to piss money away constantly.

What does everyone use for benchmarking their SAN performance, and what constitutes a valid test? I'm getting a new SC8000-series Compellent installed next week, along with new 10Gig switches. I'd like to validate performance while the engineer is engaged and on-site, so we can tune if necessary. Anything that touches the compellent storage is 100% vmware, redundant 10Gig all the way through in round-robin. E: Perfect, thanks! devmd01 fucked around with this message at 15:25 on Aug 24, 2016 |

Iometer is the standard. Run some small block reads and writes, large block reads and writes, and some mixed tests with small and large block read and write workloads. Use pseudorandom data dats buffer and try out different numbers of outstanding io per target till you hit a saturation point. There's actually quite a lot to doing benchmarks correctly so you likely won't get much that's useful out this other than "well, there's nothing horribly wrong I guess."

Please tell me I can edit ntfs permissions of files with the netapp command line in ontap 8. Restoring from tape is a pain in the rear end; please tell me my boss didn't irreparably deny all permissions from Everyone on Folder X shared by like fifteen people last night. The NetApp share is set up right -- it permits my admin AD group and a departmental AD group to access it just fine. I can make another folder in the share and edit it just fine. It's that my boss "may" have screwed up deny permissions in the ntfs permissions of the folder itself and the folder is so old its owner account doesn't exist in AD anymore. Am I stuck to pulling that folder out of tape? Or can Ontap say "gently caress you, directory\Potato_Salad is the owner of this folder now" with an ntfs permission object editor command? e - I ask because my Google-fu is coming up dry (as is the norm, it seems) on NetApp's command line.

As that may read strangely: I have /vol/DepartmentX NTFS-style volume (no mixed permissions nonsense). I have the following CIFS share: "Department_X_Share" on the FAS that is sharing /vol/DepartmentX . Department_X_Share lets directory\Admin_group do Everything and directory\DepartmentX do read/write. Everything, and I've tried everything, on desktop clients are locked out of \\FASDEVICE\Department_X_Share\ . Permisison denied. The original creator of that folder ages ago isn't in AD anymore, and god help me if I can find that person's SID. From what I'm seeing, it seems the cifs share on the FAS device is set up fine. It's the ntfs permissions of the /vol/DepartmentX folder itself that's screwy. Is there a command I can run on the FAS device that resets the permissions of a folder to an open default or at least lets me change the owner? Or is there a factor here I may be overlooking?
