  1. xportz, I'm glad to have helped simplify the installation as much as possible. lionelhutz pm'd me tonight about the updated par2 binary with the fix for the occasional failed repairs. The dependency package has been updated to 2.1 with it, and the Sabnzbd+ inclusive package has been updated with version 0.5.6. I also updated the 1.3 package to 1.4 in case that the older version provides better compatibility for someone out there. Here's the link to the original download post. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2903.msg30274#msg30274 Thanks again lionelhutz for finding the fix and alerting me.
  2. I have to admit, Amahi (which includes greyhole) has a slick application install and management system. I'm not keen on it trying to take over DHCP and DNS duties though.
  3. Unfortunately I wasn't able to get the pci device pass-through working on the X7SBE tonight. VT and VT-D are both enabled in the bios so I don't know what else to do. A quick search found a mailing list conversation aboutX7SBE VT-D problems in Xen: Searching for X7SB4 & VT-D also yields a few posts about it not working with that similar board.
  4. I'm trying that with my X7SBE and two pci-x MV8s right now. That system is now my backup server after finally swapping my "production" server to a more efficient G33 2tb drives setup. (120w idle with 21 drives vs 80w idle with 11, a smaller PSU is part of the savings.) Now I'm going to be tempted to revert back. Although truthfully, it's what I had in mine with the hardware when I bought it. A reasonably affordable, somewhat efficient, and VMware hardware compatible server to run any and every thing.
  5. Its been used to store the history database since 0.5.0. I compiled Python with it as a module so it actually might not be required separately. The 10mb gain in package size was almost entirely Python 2.6.5. SickBeard also uses sqlite for its dbs.
  6. Edit: Updated to the finals versions at http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=2903.msg30274#msg30274. Sorry about not including the two files for par2 in the RC. I was wondering why I had an increase in failed downloads over the last month. Here's a long overdue update to my packages. I've brought all the components up to date and rebuilt the packages from scratch around Python 2.6.5. Both have been tested since this weekend, without any issues, but because of all the updates I don't feel confident posting them as finals yet. These are tentatively considered release candidates for now. Changes: Updated Python to 2.6.5, Sqlite3 to 3.7.0, Cheetah to 2.4.2.1, pyOpenSSL to 0.10, and Infozip to 6.0. SABnzbdDependencies-2.0rc-i486-unRAID.tgz MD5: EB15365D75C250EA2D56CA5B8DBB8148 SABnzbd-0.5.3-i586-unRAID-1rc.tgz MD5: 9D9E1964B790EF2D800ED91213E229F5
  7. Sorry EMKO, I meant for my post to confirm that reverse break outs functioned that way, not directly connected to the drives.
  8. I have 10 of the Norco reverse breakout cables with my 4220 cases and AOC2 controllers. They've been problem free for 4 months now. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816133033 OT, but thanks for doing that 1-wire sensor network write up. I'm setting up OWFS on an ubuntu netbook for 24/7 temperature monitoring of this cooling project. The shell scripts are very helpful.
  9. I've been using doing a weekly wake-on-lan rsync over ssh (whew!) of /mnt/user. That sounded a lot more complicated than it is. It's just one rsync command once SSH is installed. This gives me a small window to recover any potential accidental data loss and more confidence when moving data around on the live server. It's a peace of mind thing, except for the extra worrying about theft. I've been trialing Crashplan, with all that free space, and its been going well so far. I appreciate having true backups of deleted files for X days and not only a mirror that would also duplicate unwanted changes.
  10. Unfortunately this card came out with a higher price than expected and without cables. A double whammy. There are cheaper Norco branded cables than the 3ware ones. I picked up 4 of the breakout ones from Mwave for under $60 shipped last fall. The savings will be nicer for Tom and his server customers because he'll have better pricing on the bulk cables. Individuals get hit hard on the S/H with just two of them. Oh, I have 4 of the Icy Dock 5-in-3s and they're MUCH more prone to vibration than the Norco 4220. Edit: I should have included: "When all 4 were populated and used in one system."
  11. Oops, I didn't explain the second Norco's use. It duplicates the other two servers data and eventually is going to be half a mile away, with another 54g wireless link bridging the locations. It originally was going to be stored in one of the business's backrooms, but that sites metal siding where the wireless CPE is attached to plays havoc with the signal. That connection had to be set to 11b speeds to keep it 100% reliable. A perfect 54g signal is only good for 9gb an hour. 11g, lets not go there... The other hold up was finding a smart differential backup solution with encryption. Crashplan+ seems to have been working well for this purpose.
  12. 20x 1TB WD10EADS in the right Norco + 1 spare. (X7SBE with 2 AOC-SAT2 controllers) 10x 2TB WD20EADS in the left Norco (C2SBA+II with 2 1430SA,1 Sil x1 2 port controller, and an unused 4 port Sil PCI controller) The new AOC-SASLP-MV8 support will perfect this build, but more than 16 drives won't be needed for a long time. The Chenbro mini-itx sever hosts VMs and applications on 4 WD20EADS drives and a Vertex ssd. Daily WHS + Crashplan, and monthly Acronis backups of 6-8 systems from three buildings are the primary data stored on it. The 2TB drives (Christmas cashback sale) were purchased to replace most of the 1TB drives (10 from a black friday sale), but I still haven't sold them and re-balanced the two systems. I should take two 2tbs from the Chenbro, put 6 2TBs in each Norco, and then sell all the 1TBs. That will leave a ton of bays for expansion going forward at cheaper prices per gigabyte. Although, I'm really happy right now not constantly thinking about storage to be honest. These builds were were the culmination of two years of tinkering. It's nice to be "done".
  13. Glad to see this, thanks! I'm looking forward to seeing more Norco builds with with 20 (nearly) full speed drives.
  14. I used the windows version to monitor my netbook domain server's head parking totals. It was happening 6 times a minute, 60,000 times a week, so I ended up disabling that with smartctl. The power usage went up 1w to ... 6w total, with gigabit and 2gb of ram!
  15. That's correct. The gap was large enough to connect the cables to the top drive.
