Ubiquiti's product strategy and tactics seems pretty obvious to me and it's not a surprise that they're doing things like Intel such as crippling industry standard equipment, making up proprietary stuff that's cheaping out (their "passive PoE" bricks are long obsolete when Ubiquiti released them), but it still beats trying to cobble together Ebayed gear that won't be supported in software like from HP and soon Dell. I'll still take their stuff because most of the old enterprise gear now is getting bricked through now industry-standard software non-support obsolescence that Ubiquiti isn't really doing. But good cost efficiency with Ubiquiti equipment in my experience only happens at the really low end like the Edgerouter X or their fairly beefy equipment into the thousands on a project. Meraki isn't exactly going to win vendor of the year awards these days, after all, and they've done terrible things in both software and hardware for a lot worse pricing.

Received my Elements from Amazon today and just shucked em. Loaded one up in my Unraid, and of course it can't see the drive. Anything special I need to do with the drive after shucking it? I thought I remembered seeing you have to tape over a power connector pin or something? Of course, the loving things came like this with no padding, so who knows:

I also ordered two Elements from Amazon (12TB) and they arrived yesterday. One of them was definitely DOA (tried it the USB case, shucked, shucked with 3.3V pin taped, USB adapter to PC, etc), the other worked fine, so I'm processing an RMA and unshucking it.

They do have a DOA rate: try plugging it back into the USB adapter board from the case and seeing if it'll get recognized that way. If it does, but doesn't work outside the case, it's probably the 3.3v disable pin: https://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-Fix-the-33V-Pin-Issue-in-White-Label-Disks-/

necrobobsledder posted:The original question was asking around $2k which is way higher than the $300-$400-ish UniFi SFP+ devices I saw. Their UniFi switches with just SFP in them still run $150+ anyway so it makes no sense they'd drop down to ~$200 for SFP+ unless they did a huge crunch and upgraded everything to SFP+. Ubiquiti is in the process of a wi-fi generation upgrade it seems (they're starting to send out beta product releases for 802.11ax now across several SKUs). The 16 XG is pretty overkill with 12 SFP+ ports and 4 10G RJ45 ports but is probably what I'd go for with serious intent of a 10+ year prosumer home network timeline. I really don't understand why Ubiquiti isn't making a play for multi-gig or 10gig PoE switches in their Unifi line. Their entire AP line is (theoretically) bottlenecked by the wired connection now.

How big are y'alls FreeNAS installations? Theoretically how big could it get? Anyone running VMs in FreeNAS? I'm debating between a 120GB, 180GB, and 240GB SSD for my new NAS and just wondering if I'll ever need the extra space or if I'll just be wasting it. For reference I'm considering 3 very lightly used SSD's: Intel 530, Intel 1500 Pro, and Samsung 850 EVO e: nvm I'm gonna use the Pro 1500 I'll migrate later if I need to.

I'm looking to buy the TS-453Bmini mostly for one reason: serve my media to Kodi on my Samsung smart TV. My old setup was having a shared drive on my PC with all my media, and the TV with Kodi would access it via WiFi. I would like to keep this kind of setup, so the NAS would not have its own Kodi app running on it, it would just serve the TV via SMB or whatever. Before I spend a lot of money on the NAS and the drives: is there any obvious issue here that I'm missing? This is my first foray into NAS.

I use bhyve for virtualization (what FreeNAS also uses, underneath everything), so if you have specific questions, perhaps I can answer them. I use plain FreeBSD, of course, but at the moment my pool is only some 8TiB because I'm in the process of replacing 15 drives with 8TB drives, before I start filling up the next SAS enclosure. With one SAS enclosure, I'll have about 75iB and with two I'll have about 150TiB.

I'm past the point of frustration with my Unraid server backup, and I don't even know if there's a better way to be doing this. I'm doing the "Duplicati backing up to a business Google Drive account" setup. I have been for two months in fact, and it's just about halfway done with the initial upload. Part of this is our internet is slow, which sucks, but can't really be fixed. But the other part is that it errors out constantly. I have to check every day to see if it stopped due to a name resolution error or a 403 error or its favorite, duplicate files at the destination, which I have to fix myself: go into Drive, search for the file name, and move one of the two copies out of the backup folder (or sometimes there are more than two copies somehow!). Is this pretty much what everybody else uses for cloud backup, and is the answer "yup, that's how it works, just gotta deal with it?"

The fine little J4105-ITX board I'm using in my NAS build has 2 Intel SATA ports and 2 ASMedia ports on the PCIe bus, so ASRock can say "4 onboard SATA ports!". I already knew that the board only supports booting from the Intel ports, and that's fine. But I don't know if there's an issue with my board or just a general thing, because those ASMedia ports are acting weird. No matter which drive I plug into SATA3_A1 and A2, it either doesn't recognize the disk at all or starts out fine and then after a while my system log fills up with softreset failures and eventually gives up and stops trying to communicate with the disk. As you can imagine, Btrfs tends to freak out a little when this happens. I've tried different cables and having different disks on that port, it still happens after a while. What's really bugging me is that if I put the disks on a PCIe SATA card I have, they work flawlessly, and that card is using the exact same ASM1061 controller as the ones on the motherboard? Are ASMedia SATA controllers just finicky by nature? For now it's working fine with the mobo ASMedia ports disabled, but I'm wondering if it's worth an RMA. I have a Marvell-based 4-port SATA controller ordered since a couple of days ago anyway, so I really don't need the extra onboard ports.

It's not a super popular opinion around here I don't think, but I'm still using Crashplan with my Unraid server. Downsides: - It's not going to help your speed issues any (understatement) - Their app is a poo poo show and accounts for about 1/4 - 1/3 the memory usage on my Unraid server, just be aware of that if you have a significant amount/size of files you are backing up. - When there is a compatibility breaking update for the Linux app, there can be a lag for the container to update. Twice in ~2 years I've got the email from Crashplan that backups aren't happening and this was the cause. Upsides: - Aside from that container update lag, I've not had any notable issues with stability of the backups using the docker in the apps store. No real babysitting required. - I haven't seen anything remotely cost competitive and usable once you get into the double digit TB of backups (sitting at ~18TB local marked for backup, ~19TB actually stored in my backups currently including deleted/changed data). I wish there was a better option and if there is I'd love to hear it, I'm just not willing to move from $10/month to 7-10 times that amount with something like B2...

I've been wrestling with this issue lately as well; a simple, nightly ~48GB incremental Duplicati backup occasionally pops a 403 error and gives up backing-up to Google Drive. I don't have much to add other than a 'me too', sorry: I suspect it's something to do with Duplicati panicking at some hiccup in the process, as the automated 1am backup sometimes fails, burping up a '403: Forbidden' error, but triggering the same process manually always goes off without a hitch. I'm half considering wiping the whole thing out and starting fresh, just in case that blows away any cobwebs.

There are some ways around it, but it's janky and involves some wrappers which I've found to only be 95% stable. Still, that's what I'm doing because it beats the pants off paying for actual per-GB storage.

All RAID5-like implementations I know of uses binary XOR which is quite literally a single instruction. Since the CPU is a Cortex-A57, it's using the ARMv8 ISA which does XOR using the NEON SIMD, it's probably fast enough. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 16:01 on Jul 23, 2020 |
