Worth noting that super saver delivery will use the cheapest courier for the size/weight of your parcel, if you order a TV with SSD it'll likely ship with a 24 or 48hr courier, where as a DVD will go royal mail 2nd class and take significantly longer. Of course above using a guaranteed next day...

If you have zip version 3+ (zip -v) then the following to split into 100MB chunks $ zip -s 100m archive CentOS-6.2-x86_64-LiveCD.iso adding: CentOS-6.2-x86_64-LiveCD.iso (deflated 2%) $ ls | grep archive archive.z01 archive.z02 archive.z03 archive.z04 archive.z05 archive.z06...

Anything in your /etc/named.conf to block non-local lookups? ACL's or listening interface?

rsync?

Knocked the router antenna screw loose/rotated it 90 degrees? It should be vertical if you want the signal to propagate horizontally

Google cache is a lovely thing...

You made a fork of openSUSE but you haven't actually used openSUSE?:confused: Looking at the package list it looks like a pretty vanilla build with some software packages that you decided are useful What core modifications does this bring over openSUSE?

FreeNAS is ok, easy to setup and run quite light. However the BSD implementation of ZFS isn't amazing yet and the biggest let down for me was how slow samba on BSD is. I've since gone for Arch and zfs-fuse, no pretty web UI without doing it yourself but it let me change 2 PC's (XBMC/FreeNAS...

The 475 is the heavier rated cage, we got the 375

Yep COMSTAR is what you need, it supports software/HBA FC/iscsi etc etc and will let you create a LUN from volume you've made then present it via your HBA.. its very similar to what you'd do with iscsi

So you want to create a LUN on ZFS formatted storage? Any reason why as there's probably a better route? As you know usual practice is to create a fixed size volume with zfs and let the remote system format it as it sees fit. If you want ZFS then the best thing to do is let the remote system...

Just for what its worth here's a arc_summary on a test box with just 2GB RAM. Box purely serves up iSCSI targets for ESX and SMB shares # ./arc_summary.pl System Memory: Physical RAM: 1783 MB Free Memory : 208 MB LotsFree: 27 MB ZFS Tunables...

I've not really looked into it but there's some DTrace scripts you can use to show how much ZIL, ARC and L2ARC are being hit which may give you a clue as to any bottlenecks.. prepare for lots of reading though :p

Well you're creating your arrays so it depends entirely on your requirements.. you're going to lose out on something, be it space, IOPS or throughput.. No different from any other SAN. There's a good write up here http://blogs.sun.com/roch/entry/when_to_and_not_to

Double parity RAID is RAID-Z2, essentially RAID6.. I take it you're using the web interface, im not to familiar with it. You should be able to remove the array and create new ones by selecting disks and then what type of array you like..obviously destroying the data in the process!

Yeah 1 big 48 disk RaidZ2 isn't going to do so great for VMs. Do some benchmarks and workout whats latency sensitive and what needs high throughput and create multiple mirrored pools as required. You can set the SSDs as a striped logzilla/readzilla or 1 for each.. again depends how much ZIL and...

How many disks have you got? The J4400 takes up to 24x 1TB so have you got 2 of them? As 48 spindles is pretty high throughput.. Sun quote 2GBytes/sec network throughput for their 48 disk thumper. The 10 VMs you're planning to run will be fine on 1Gbit but your fabric will bottleneck before the...

Yeah they're not required to provide a VAT receipt, just a cash/sale receipt unless you request one. If they refuse after you ask for it you can report said company to HMRC

If you configure iptables/netfilter correctly I wouldnt call it a bodge job, its about as customisable/solid as you can get. If you wanted more i'd look at a hardware firewall to sit outside the box?
