Have some extra motherboards left over from a huge server overhaul INTEL S5000PSLSATAR boards these appear to be NEW and LAST RELEASED REVISION before EOL E11027-302 is the sticker number, boards are in sealed antistatic bags. 97% soild caps on these vs the ones I see listed on ebay (I did build myself 2 servers with these and no issues with those boards, I can setup and test before purchased) Have unraid running inside ESX off the internal USB socket , Dual Intel Gigabit ethernet, PCI-e and PCI-X Also have some used boards for $20 (not last revision) All boards will be bare NO CPU/RAM/ACCESSORIES

Ok first off IM NOT RUNNING A PARITY drive yet looking to organize my drives first before I install the parity drive. so I finally cleaned off a already running unraid drive, just looking to give it a fresh format and move back directories in a nice sorted order now. Problem is I dont see any GUI option todo this with unraid stopped is it ok in command line to just format it??

Anyone currently doing this using qemu, virtualbox, (vmplayer linux? is there such a thing) just curious how stable and stuff it is. Did you install the OS onto a Hard Drive from the default USB flash drive? I currently have my setup running on a Core2Duo system with 8gb of ram, system seems like such a waste just being used for file storage, and I have need for a voip server so was thinking just VMing a guest install of asterisk or trixbox on the system also

Any plans for unRAID to go with a more current and supported linux distro then slackware (I use to be a slack lover, but fedora/debian have got it beat for updates/patches/ and MAINLY SUPPORT for HARDWARE!!!!)

Any kind of unRAID parity calculator out there? looking to not waste drive space on the parity drive if my system is only going to use 1TB max for the drives I have then thats what I want to allocate for it (no sense dropping in a 1.5tb or higher if its not going to be used)

Not really an issue i guess but a bug, installed a cleared drive i was using in a windows box (so NTFS) but before i did that i installed the NTFS-3G driver cause i will be copying over another ntfs drive to the new formatted drive but anyways Im guessing since unRAID can detect NTFS in drive settings theres no format button for me to get this drive working in unRAID (protected, reiserFS, etc) without having to go into shell any chance adding a ADVANCE button with a FORCE FORMAT feature in the webUI ??

yea just comment out the ftp line in /etc/inetd.conf then restart via "/etc/rc.d/rc.inetd restart"

Are any of the accounts listed in the /etc/passwd needed for any kind of backend processes or features? I did notice operator, mysql, gdm do provide shell access via telnet ( /bin/bash ) but I like to be anal on security and delete any NON-USED accounts running 4.6 unRAID
