What the heck is the name of that utility to stop drives and unmount them? Had some sort of red system tray icon and I can't remember the name to search for it. A glance at the toolbox didn't refresh my memory either.

Can the rest of the world send email to both domains?

I got my names mixed up, it is IOmeter but using this "Super ATTO Clone pattern.icf" configuration file. Still I'd agree with that, it ran for over four hours and did nothing. I have a several terabyte test file on the drive that it generated. From the ICH9R mirror to the array: TotalRead =...

They are also now offering unlimited calling to any cell phone (in US?) plus I think they just raised their data caps. Really sounds like they are scared and trying to cloud over the verizon offering and retain customers.

Looking much better. PERC6i in PCIEx4 slot RAID6 with 64k stripe Eight Seagate 5900RPM drives ST32000542AS One big GPT partition with 4k clusters Windows write cache looks like it is off with a message it can't be enabled, guess because the controller is doing it and the driver disables that...

Most cars parked at stores have plates on them. Take a set off a disgusting blue minivan with the kids stickers on back, you know they won't notice for weeks.

That new thing that just launched seems to have a good buzz about it. I missed the event but there is news fallout everywhere. They really just haven't figured out the tablet OS thing yet. A big cell phone is a start but it needs to do much more.

Something better than half your HD tune results. Or were we swapping bits and bytes around somewhere?

Someone has way too much time when they build stuff like that. I will stick with my yeong yang cube server case "only" about a third the size of that thing.

I think there are some farm roads between Montreal and NH you can use. Otherwise key words with the border guards are "business meeting" I have found to get a minimum of hassle.

Yeah that's what I did, I rigged up a bracket and aimed a 80mm fan at the heatsink. I didn't see a rate for initialization but I did cancel and start over by using the fast initialization option. Seems to be moving faster than before.

I wish I looked for and read these threads earlier. Sure does require forced air cooling, sure enough it was pretty hot despite having a fan near it, painful to the touch even. I switched to having a fan right on it. Also the cabling note is in there. About 50% initialized now. Battery came up...

As I understand it serving papers isn't a civic duty so whomever is serving them must hire the guy. Really sucks to hear about your place of employment being served merc. Do you think he will move to a new unit or would that be the last straw?

X2, I generally try to do this stuff locally for keyboards, mice and monitors when I can.

I think both my 3Ware cards were like that, could only use the primary. Now that was a cabling mess for an eight drive setup.

Your right find it in the logs, background initialization started. Then found the separate window where you can track progress. I was looking and seeing the array status as optimal and thinking I was set for some dumb reason. Apparently it goes through and checks the battery to learn the...

That's weird, that was an edit.

Over network or going to another disk in the same computer?

I googled around and it seems it may get in the way of the read ahead in the OS if there is any. On an impulse I decided to just do everything default to start with. On the plus side there was no initializing time for a new array. On the manager it looked really complete until I realized it...

Yeah it was the cables, those work much better. Hope I can return the others. Did the default 64K, no read ahead, write back cache (I have a battery). Volume has whatever the default NTFS cluster size is. Running the bench now.

I know you meant it as a joke but I'm actually thinking about it. Anyway I laughed.

I used to do the cheap ones with the squishy keys and just replace them every six months to a year. The really annoying thing on them is the keys start to stick. Not because I am spilling soda on them but because the plastic that rubs/slides when striking a key actually wears down and gets rough...

I just remembered my subwoofer was plugged in for those baseline readings. That thing puts out a lot of standby heat too. New standby numbers for just the networking stuff and phone. 55watt, 82VA, .66 PF with .67 amp does anyone make a power strip that has a remote turn it on?

For a lot of stuff even edge is fast enough for me.

Yes, don't know what my mental block is with that word, I really botched it on [H] forums.

Ah, greenp0ison for windows is out.

I work at Emerson Network Power, basically I clear a (biggish) shipping charge with the boss and then contact the warehouse that does returns. I asked for a GXT 1000VA unit so it will likely be a GXT3 unit free to me, I guess you could call that a perk. What I think I will do to reduce the...

My UPS died and it wasn't the batteries this time so I'm shopping for another. Got a kill-a-watt meter to properly size the next one because I know perfectly well I dint need a 2KVA unit or the illegal 30A to 15A converting extension cord that goes with it. Baseline, just networking equipment...

Did not know that but you'll never catch me using a fake credit card (debit). Just too dangerous.

Stuff like this is certainly frustrating and puts you through the ringer. Us old farts have learned the hard way like you have to put in a significant amount of research on critical components like memory and then only get exactly what you need. It's noble and all to work with a local vendor but...

I forgot about check and cash but I don't think they do debit cards via visa like most debit cards are. I haven't had problems with Amex in other countries at all.

Outlook not so good.

Crap, are these the wrong cables? http://www.wiredzone.com/itemdesc.asp/ic/10016794/model/CBL-0103L Card is in and wired but I see no drives attached. For some reason I was thinking crossover was required because there is no backplane in use like is usually used with the PERC6i.

Still using NIC2 Turned off Flow Control and no difference. Still using fast copy here but not letting it complete, just waiting for it to settle down in reporting 20MB/s or less. TX&RX flow control back on but turned interrupt moderation from adaptive to high, according to the built in help...

Oh well, no difference on switching the NIC. On the optimizations stuff it looks like typical server, background server and system cache for the computer. On the file and printer sharing it was already on maximum data throughput for file sharing. It just occurred to me that I am totally...

I think you are on to something there. Both NIC 1 and the Marvel SAS controller (AOC-SASLP-MV8 ) are IRQ16. I am going to find another cable and connect NIC 2, disable NIC 1 in windows and retest with that. The IPMI stuff if hard wired to NIC 1 so I can't just abandon that NIC. I also found...

That's because the 4G standard was developed well after they started deploying new equipment. The suck part comes into play when they do start meeting the standard and still have to call it 4G. Consumer confusion will be rampant.

My vote is AMEX The protection is excellent, several times now they have refunded me the purchase price on old video cards that died in warranty but the company went under. Consumer protection is about first rate. AMEX Clear card: this type of account has a due date but no penalty for not...

There has to be a megamaid suck to blow joke in there somewhere. I think I will try the server 2008 eval I have, but I see no way in hell I will switch to such an expensive OS. After that back to 2003 and PERC I guess.

Initial reports sound good, people are happy to note that NYC and SF voice/data coverage is far better for the VZW phone. Looks like on the jailbreak front 4.3 is a whole new game and previous holes in 4.2.1 including the brand new untethered greenpois0n released today don't apply.

Yeah might as well go SAS at those prices.

Hmm, I have a 180 day eval copy of server 2008 R2 here, think I should try that? Maybe something is wrong with my neutered home server / server 2003 installation?

I hear you Buck, I feel like I just got this system and it is amazingly fast to me. Not looking for a replacement any time soon.

Neither have I but I hear if they are on and not everything supports it that will kill performance. Server pulling from client to softRAID5 using fastcopy. TotalRead = 35006.1 MB TotalWrite = 35006.1 MB TotalFiles = 898 (37) TotalTime= 644.98 sec TransRate= 54.27 MB/s FileRate = 1.39 files/s

NICs Client has two Realtek RTL8111D on the Gigabyte GA-X58A-UD5 (rev. 1.0) Server has two Intel 82574L on the Supermicro X7SPA-HF As an afterthought jumbo frames are disabled on the client, I don't see the option to turn that on for the server. Actually I don't see the option to turn any of the...

I guess this right here is the heart of the problem, but I am at a complete loss for what to do about it. All done with the same BD movie rip in file mode. Seems like it is only a problem with the network + softRAID5. Separately each is fine!!?? Pushing from client to server ICH9R mirror using...

I am working on hard numbers to present right now but my theory at the moment is when I combine the network plus the softRAID5 I get crappy transfer. The network transferring to the server ICH9R mirror is fast and transferring from the ICH9R mirror to the softRAID5 is fast. I am pushing the...

OK, if I concentrate on just one big file and use fastcopy over the network (via mapped drives) I see the same thing, starts out 75MB/s and after 30 seconds it is doing 18-25MB/s. BUT if I do the same thing on the server from the mirror to the softRAID5 array with one big file I can get about...
