I'm looking to find a Linux NAS solution for a Windows network. Looking into FreeNAS and OpenFiler. Anyone using these or any other solution? Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Ed

I got 4 of those decTOPs (http://www.dataevolution.com/dectop%20info%202.htm) and upgraded the memory to 512Mb. I cannot get Centos 5.0 to install. I have the keyboard mouse attached to an ATEN USB-PS/2 adapter (probably should try without this). I have a USB DVD/CDRW drive. The install CD boots just fine. But then the install says, "No CD" and takes me to Askmethods. So I use

I have been looking at the FreeNAS and OpenFiler distros which install Samba in addition to other services, and then provide a simple web interface to set up and maintain the system. I can see the benefit of having a team of people that do the work setting up the various services on a particular operating system (and presumably testing it on different hardware), and then providing it to the

Hi all, What's a good Samba+LDAP appliance these days for a small business? Currently I used a stock Ubuntu server and did all Samda/LDAP configuration manually. I'm looking for something that can allow my regular staff to use as well. 1. I tried most of the popular NAS distros, like FreeNAS, NAS4Free, OpenmediaVault, etc. Most of these NAS don't have an LDAP server built-in 2. I

Greetings list friends, Just wondering if anyone is using openfiler with Xen or XCP? If so how has the experience been? Any particular points to keep in mind? thanks, CJP _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list Xen-users@lists.xensource.com http://lists.xensource.com/xen-users

Hi all, I need to build a NFS CentOS 5.1 based server with LVM and snaphosts for disaster recovering to serve storage to three ESX servers for a development dept. I have 500 GB for storage. Data that I need to store on this server is 150 GB and can grow to 210 GB to the end of year ... My questions are: - Is it possible to do some type of scripting to do data snapshots every day and

Hi When I mount CIFS share (mount -t cids) with vers=1.0 I can perform getcifsacl sucessfully. But when I mount with vers=2.0, or 2.1, or 3.0, ACL reading fails. getxattr error: 95 REVISION:0x0 CONTROL:0x0 Why getcifsacl depends on SMB protocol version? Can I read ACL via newer SMB protocol? A asked on Serverfault but without reply:

Hi, I have a FreeNAS server with a cifs share, accessible by all the lan users (guest access) Every one can access it and write in it. When Mac OSX users are creating a file or a folder, they write it with the following permissions : rwxr-xr-x Rhis only happen with mac users. So the other users can't modify or delete theses files/folders. How to configure my share if I want that all the

Hi all, I need to install a virtual machine acting as a virtual storage server under CentOS 5.x (using kvm, xen, virtualbox or vmware). This virtual storage machine needs to server storage to another ESXi server and at the same time to the host where is installed. This is due to the limitations of hardware I have available. Both hosts needs to server several machines. It is very

Hi Has anyone got any ideas on a nfs/nas appliance that i can install on x86 hardware with a few JBOD shelves attached to it. I would like an appliance like install and based on CentOS would be great. I really like the look of www.openfiler.com but it seems to be only in RC release stage so i don't think the 'boss' would like that idea. thanks

Hi Ivan, Not sure if you have found a solution or not since your post was back in February, but I thought I'd reply as this is the only thread I could find anywhere that mentions a problem that I was having on a recent installation of Arch Linux. A few minutes after boot all of my CIFS/Samba mounts would go offline and I'd get an error "The host is down." But I could unmount

Here is something I am currently lokoing at, and wondering if you'd considered it or if anyone here has done it. I've got a bunch of existing hardware - really good IBM stuff that is all installed with CentOS (with a few exceptions). We want to move to virtualization, but

Hi All I just installed a 2 node ,10 r2 rac on centos Linux 4.6 My rac install was done by following Jeff Hunters document (excellent work!) http://www.idevelopment.info/ For storage I used openfiler with the iscsi protocol http://www.openfiler.com/ everything went perfect... to the letter, I gracefully shutdown the 2 nodes , then the openfiler appliance, when I went to start it back up,

Hey folks, I don't seem to be able to get a response from the openfiler forums (and they want 40 quid for the fine manual!), and since there has been a lot of chat about it here lately, I figured I'd ask here. Please forgive my terminology as I am just making my first baby steps into iSCSI and Fiber Channel, and am not very well read on the matters. So I could be using the wrong terms

Two questions (and then a bonus one), kind of interrelated, but, first, some basic info. I'm using OCFS2 on OpenSUSE 10.2, kernel 2.6.18.8(-0.7). There are three nodes in the OCFS2 cluster, backed by Openfiler iSCSI storage. First, I'm using Openfiler and iSCSI volumes to back my OCFS2 file system. The nodes that are part of the OCFS2 cluster use the file system as a shared storage

Hi, I have a weird problem with RSync: On a NAS are about 1,2 TB data. When I plug in a harddisk and make a backup with RSync, "df -h" shows the backup disk filling up to nearly 1,2 TB. But after RSync has finished, there are only 3.7 GB on the backup disk. System: Linux nas 2.6.37-gentoo-r4 #1 SMP Tue May 3 19:54:31 CEST 2011 x86_64 Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU 330 @ 1.60GHz GenuineIntel

Thanks. As mentioned, deadtime can't be set for snmp-ups. You see this in the logs. Mar 31 09:08:30 freenas notifier: Fatal error: 'DEADTIME' is not a valid variable name for this driver.

Hello everyone, I''m quite a newbie with Xen and I''m currently having an issue. I run Xen 4 on Debian Squeeze x64 and I''m trying to build an OpenFiler DomU from the Xen domU filesystem tarbal they provide (See http://www.openfiler.com/community/download/). I downloaded the tarball and run ''tar xzpvf /root/soft/openfiler-2.3-x86_64.tar.gz'' to extract
