I have a Philips BDM4350 and a Google TV. Connected via HDMI. My problem is the Google TV remote controller can not adjust the volume. Why is that? I must manually adjust the volume. UPDATE: When the Google TV is connected to my LG 55" TV, I can adjust the volume with the Google TV controller...

I just ordered the Lenovo L32P-30. But I can not find any reviews. Does anyone know anything about this monitor? Or should I cancel my order...

I have a cheap korean QNIX 2710 monitor. I am not interested in overclocking the monitor. I want to connect it to my laptop, which has USB-C and HDMI ports. So, do anyone of you, know of a adapter which accepts a dual-dvi and converts it to HDMI? I have tried a few but they do not work. So...

I am trying to copy an NTFS disk to another NTFS disk. So I have tried to copy all data via Linux file managers but that failed ("hardlinks not copied, filesystem full", etc etc). Then I tried to copy all data via Windows7 file managers, but that is problematic too as the copy procedure...

I have an external HDD case connected via SATA cable (not eSATA cable), so I can swap 3.5" disks easily. I have installed Win10 onto several HDDs, but when I insert the disks, I cannot even see the disks in BIOS. So I cannot boot win10 from the external disks. I can only boot from my internal...

I have seen a Dell EqualLogic PS5500E iSCSI SAN for a nice price. I am interested in Solaris and ZFS. I dont really understand what this is. Is this a standalone server with its own OS? Or is it a JBOD that I can use ZFS on? Does anyone have experience of these? Is it good? Yay or nay?

I bought a 10 meter sff8088 meter cable a year ago via ebay, and I recently tested it. It does not work. I dont know why. Ebay has not responded to my mails. It cost me something like $250. However, my 1 meter sff8088 cable works fine. I also know that earlier, the 10 meter cables costed...

Be cautious if you are going to dual boot Windows 10 and Solaris / Linux / non Windows OS. Win10 install software might eat your non windows disks. This happened to me: 1) I created a Windows 10 install USB. Then I booted up the USB to double check it worked. I browsed some of the install...

There are talks about broken non ECC RAM sticks are terrible for your ZFS pool, because all data might be corrupted, due to the data in RAM is not checksummed. Well, as we all know, this is not true. It is just ignorance. http://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill-your-data/ But...

Here are two IPS package repositories that contain lot of interesting software, VLC, mplayer, Wine, etc http://sfe.opencsw.org/localhosts11 http://www.solarismultimedia.com/

How do you copy a whole zpool to another zpool? I see there is a command zfs clone, and I can also use zfs send | receive. How do you copy a whole zpool? I was thinking of something like: # zfs snapshot -r tank@fullbackup # zfs send -R tank@fullbackup | pv | zfs receive -vFd myBackupPool # zfs...

I have just started up my SC847 jbod E26. I am just a home user with no experience of enterprise stuff so I have some problems. I use Solaris 11.2. I have connected a sff8088 minisas cable from the Dell external HBA 6gbps to the SC847. I have inserted one single disk into SC847. The problem is...

So, which is the best monitor out there, right now? And are there any new monitors arriving soon, that should be "monitored"? (Pun indented)

Bryan Cantrill (creator of DTrace) explains the SUN version of what actually happened, when NetApp sued SUN for ZFS: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=9129784

ZFS dedupe always had some problems and were not recommended for production. For instance, it uses gobs of RAM, 1GB RAM for every 1TB disk space. This is where the misconception comes from, that ZFS requires 1GB RAM for every 1TB disk space. This is only valid if you want to use dedupe. Also...

Anyone use HP MDS600 or it's successor with Solaris? Does it work well? I find cheap MDS600 on ebay. Would be nice to have one at home, maybe?

Adam Leventhal (one of the architects of DTrace) has tweeted: "teaser: OpenZFS device removal has just landed in our repository; looking forward to seeing it upstreamed!"

Here are some misconceptions, that one of the two main ZFS architects (Jeff Bonwick, Matt Ahrens), clears up: http://blog.delphix.com/matt/2014/06/06/zfs-stripe-width/ EDIT: corrected bad english

Anyone knows if there is an half height (short) 4U case with 24 disks for sale somewhere?

What do you think about this 90 disk 4U jbod enclosure from Supermicro? Seems neat? :) I dont understand how you connect it, how many sff8088 cables do you need? Is it eight? http://www.supermicro.nl/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847DE26-R2K02JBOD.cfm

Does the HP Smart Array P411/512 work under Solaris? Does anyone know? Is the HBA LSI2008 based? Can I use it as a IBM M1015 card? I would like to flash it to IT-mode

If you are using external storage, the Dell card might be better, because it only has external SAS ports. Other than that, which tends to be cheaper? What are your experiences? They are both fully interchangable, right? No difference between them (except DELL has less RAM?)...

What would be the first (or major) bottlenecks in this planned storage build? IOPS? Bandwidth? RAM? Or? What would prevent this build to scale? How far can it scale? -Supermicro X10SAT with E3-1245 cpu -32GB ECC RAM -SSD disk as OS -DELL 6GBps HBA card (like a IBM M1015 with two SFF8088...

I have a Supermicro SC847E26 jbod case, and it sounds very much. Are there any simple mods to silence it a bit? I understand the PSUs are noisiest, can I do something for them? Will it help to swap all fans?

This Aberdeen ZFS server offers a Petabyte of storage using 270 of the 4TB disks: http://www.tomshardware.com/picturestory/582-petarack-petabyte-sas.html http://www.aberdeeninc.com/abcatg/petarack.htm It uses this JBOD case, which has the same dimensions and specs as the Supermicro SC847...

Apparently many use the old and mature RSF-1 clustering technology. Has anyone of you tried it out? Is it good? http://www.high-availability.com/zfs-ha-plugin/

I need a long sff 8088 to sff 8088 cable. 10m or so would be great. At a low price of course. Does anyone know where I can get those for a cheap sum? This site talks about active and passive cables. Does it matter you reckon? If the cable is cheap, then it is passive? Are any drawbacks of...

I have a quad Intel Gbit nic card here. I dont really understand what is the point of using them in a server? I mean, a server has a gbit nic connected to the router - why would you need more nics than one? What is the use case for more nics?

I have googled a bit, and the M1015 seems very similar to the 9750? Are there any big differences? Is the 9750 just a more expensive version of the M1015, or?

The supermicro SC847 looks exactly like this new SC847D. The only difference is that the SC847D holds two disks in every tray, instead of one disk. http://www.supermicro.com/products/chassis/4U/847/SC847DE16-R1K28LP.cfm So, the question is, do you think it is possible to swap the single disk...

Is it normal for the fans of a GTX700 card to spin up in BIOS, and spin down after booting into Windows? It seems it is Windows that lowers the fans? Why are not the card fans always spinning down, even in BIOS? When I look into BIOS, my card gives me a head ache. I want to boot into Windows...

I am looking for a solution to shut off power to the GPU. Maybe insert a switch into the PSU power cable? Or is there a better solution? When I am booting into Solairs, I only work and does not need the GPU. When I dual boot into Windows, I will game and turn on the GPU.

I have installed a refurbished Geforce GTX 770 card into my Supermicro X10SAT mobo, and upon boot, the GPU fans spins up very much until I boot into Windows, then the fans will spin down. Is this normal, or is my GTX 770 defect? The GTX 770 fans sounds very much if I sit inside BIOS and...

I have just built a new PC, and installed the OS. Sitting idle in BIOS, I get the following information: CPU temp: 37C System temp: 26C Peripheral temp: 31C PCH temp: 58C What is PCH temp? It worries me, isnt it a bit high for idling? Supermicro X10SAT Xeon E3-1245v3 ECC Crucial...

I have installed Solaris 11.1 on an Supermicro X10SAT mobo, and I dont have Intel i210 or Intel i217 ethernet device drivers. It seems that Illumos recently added i210 device driver: https://illumos.org/issues/4090 OmniOS also has it...

I am using an SSD with Solaris Express. Solaris Express does not have TRIM. I doubt newer versions of Solaris has TRIM, but OpenZFS might have TRIM? My question is this. I am going to reinstall Solaris 11.1 on the SSD (I have bought a new PC). My SSD has never been TRIMed, so I should TRIM...

I know that USB connected disks in a zpool is less optimal, but it should be no problem to mix SATA disks and USB disks, when building a zpool? It should work, yes?

Is it possible to upgrade back planes in the Supermicro SC847E26-JBOD case? Today it has SAS2. Say SAS3 becomes common, would it be possible to swap the backplanes to SAS3 versions? Is the SC847 modularly built?

I am thinking of buying a Supermicro SC847E26-RJBOD1, 45 disk case. But how good is it? It is it top of the line, best of the best? Or medium server stuff, or low grade?
