Hello, I am building a home file server and am looking for an ATX mother board that will be supported well with OpenSolaris (onboard SATA controller, network, graphics if any, audio, etc). I decided to go for Intel based boards (socket LGA 775) since it seems like power management is better supported with Intel processors and power efficiency is an important factor. After reading several

Like many others, I am looking to put together a SOHO NAS based on ZFS/CIFS. The plan is 6 x 1TB drives in RAIDZ2 configuration, driven via mobo with 6 SATA ports. I''ve read most, if not all, of the threads here, as well as sbredon''s excellent article on building a home NAS, yet I still have a number of unanswered questions. I was leaning heavily towards the M2N-E for a while,

I would like to get some help diagnosing permanent errors on my files. The machine in question has 12 1TB disks connected to an Areca raid card. I installed OpenSolaris build 134 and according to zpool history, created a pool with zpool create bigraid raidz2 c4t0d0 c4t0d1 c4t0d2 c4t0d3 c4t0d4 c4t0d5 c4t0d6 c4t0d7 c4t1d0 c4t1d1 c4t1d2 c4t1d3 I then backed up 806G of files to the machine, and had

I started to receive this kind of messages a few days ago on one of my servers: Message from syslogd@ at Mon Apr 29 08:02:55 2013 ... server1 kernel: EDAC MC0: UE row 0, channel-a= 0 channel-b= 1 labels "-": (Branch=0 DRAM-Bank=0 RDWR=Read RAS=0 CAS=0, UE Err=0x2 (Aliased Uncorrectable Non-Mirrored Demand Data ECC)) I've never had ECC memory to fail on me before, so now I am

Hey, folks, I've got an HP Proliant DL580 G5 throwing ECC errors. This is annoying, since a) it's all new as of a few months ago, and b) it's *fully* populated. The two things I need to figure out are a) *which* DIMM it is, and b) is it mirrored; if so, which *other* DIMM needs to come out until we get replacements from the OEM. Here's one of many, all identical, from dmesg:

Hello all I am running CentOS 5 on a small server and I am having very strange memory malfunctions. The computer runs perfectly with no problems whatsoever. From time to time, after a soft reboot, the computer emmits beeps corresponding to a memory fault. It never reboots again until I find and remove a now defective DIMM. That DIMM can never be used again because it is out of order. This just

You really do need ECC RAM, but for the naysayers: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/%7Ebianca/papers/sigmetrics09.pdf -- richard

Is there anyone who has successfully put together a "high-powered" mini-itx ZFS box that would be willing to post their system specs?

Hi List, I've been getting the following EDAC memory errors EDAC MC0: CE page 0xeb0dd, offset 0x0, grain 4096, syndrome 0x45, row 3, channel 0, label "": i82875p CE and from this seeing that these errors have been corrected.

I''m hoping to get some general clues about what all is required to get an experiment going with zfs. I''ve managed to install osol-11 in a vmware on windowsXP host from a recent *.iso.

I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and a 3ware 9550SX raid card. Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause problems? I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find out about any possible problems before

Hi, I am posting my question to both storage-discuss and zfs-discuss as I am not quite sure what is causing the messages I am receiving. I have recently migrated my zfs volume from b104 to b134 and upgraded it from zfs version 14 to 22. It consist of two zvol''s ''vol01/zvol01'' and ''vol01/zvol02''. During zpool import I am getting a non-zero exit code,

I had a series of kernel hardware error reports today while I was away from my computer: Message from syslogd at fcshome at Aug 12 10:12:24 ... kernel:[Hardware Error]: MC2 Error: VB Data ECC or parity error.

I have just noticed this message in my kernel logs, reporting the possibility of an error with my memory. This would go a long way towards explaining the problems i''ve been having. This particular error is occuring when i''m not running xen so is obviously not something brought on by xen itself. The strange thing is that the NMI error is always followed by the TLAN: eth0: Adaptor
