Let me know how this works out for you. I have 3 of these Norco trays and the noise is driving me a bit crazy. I'm debating between swapping fans or just getting a new case and going from there without them. As far as fans, the Noctua are super quite and have great airflow to noise. I have some of their 120mm running on my gaming machine and they are almost silent.

I also had to ask for a return label. They wanted me to pick up the tab for the return. I should have tried to see if Amazon would have priced matched them. I checked their policy and they don't price match HD's. But it would be worth a try since Amazon bends over backwards for customers.

I'm sure there are other ways, but I would suggest doing a pre_clear on the parity drive before adding it. That will wipe all of the old data and make sure the drive is in good working order.

I believe that this was the same place I got mine and haven't had any issues with it.

Here is a good view of some changes and some team info for the new season.

One week away! I can't wait.

Also Aeon Nox is fantastic. I moved from Aeon MQ3 to Nox and haven't looked back.

... the exact drive listed above. But their methodology is suspect. There is good data there, but they have more work to do before it is analytically robust. Agreed that they have a lot more work to do with there analytics. I saw that line, but it still doesn't instill lot's of trust from me. I've had more Seagate failures than I'd care for (person experience) With that aside, how is a 5900RPM drive as a parity? Assuming there are 7200RPM drives in the array? I really wish the Fry's by me had the Hitachi drives in stock.

Does Gotham use a diffrent mysql version? Wondering if my mysql setup will transfer over for syncing my openelec boxes.

After the backblaze review of drives I'm scared of buying Seagate http://blog.backblaze.com/2014/01/21/what-hard-drive-should-i-buy/

I hope Openelec releases the final version of this around the same time as the official release. Some very nice changes!

That's pretty cool I didn't know that. So assuming your hardware boots unRAID you can put your drives in any order and in any sata port and you're good to go?

Thanks, I'll RMA the drive.

Hi, Did a parity check and got 1375 errors on my Parity drive all of them being this with different sectors 3 05:31:39 Namek kernel: md: disk0 read error, sector=741867488 (Errors).

It's under a year old. Thanks! Edit: Had to trim the top of my syslog for it to fit within the max size. syslog-2014-03-03.txt

I noticed that they raised the prices of the RED 4TB drives by $5 right when they announced the sale.

Understood, would this work with a Windows VM as well? Also what would be the snapshot method (I'm not sure if that question makes sense) Edit: Also am I correct in thinking that xl save does a full copy as opposed to a delta snapshot?

While I'm not a linux export I believe CIFS is more for windows than for linux boxes. I think it would be easier on permissions if you used NFS as opposed to CIFS.

Yup. It's called "Monthly Parity Check"

I'm using the check from unmenu, IF that's the same one then it still works on v5.

I think it would be easier to mount using NFS rather than CIFS. Do you have NFS enabled?

Sorry for the self bump, I would like to know if I need to start learning about LVM snaps. Do you mean "xl save [VMname] -c" ? Looks like that's different than the snapshot, since that does a byte by byte copy as opposed to delta. I was thinking/hoping there would be something like the xencenter snapshot ability. ironicbadger: you're right looks like that's a btrfs thing, but if we use btrfs for the VM then we can do LVM snapshots within the VM?

The idea behind my repo was to get new Arch users up and running in minutes, and keep their VM footprints minimal as they didn't have to install the base-devel packages (about 500mb). packer is a great option to get your feet wet but is no substitute for actually under standing makepkg. Updating the apps is easy, I have an rsync setup that whenever I compile a package here it auto pushes to my web hosting and auto updates the repository database. Granted, if I get bored it goes away but I've stated many times I'd be grateful for others to help me maintain this but I've yet to here anything from anyone offering to help me. PM sent!

Sorry for the self bump, I would like to know if I need to start learning about LVM snaps.

This is pretty awesome! The only issue I see with the repo is if you stop updating. I'm assuming the apps are currently up to date, is compiling them myself something that would be pretty easy to do? Worst case you wake up tomorrow and realize that unraid has been a huge mistake and take down your repo or stop updating

Quick question, are we going to be able to take snapshots of VM's with 6.0?
