Is there any logic behind LSI's card numbering scheme? It seems like 92xx is PCIe 2.0 cards and 93xx is PCIe 3.0, and the 8i/8e/4i4e/16i/16e/8i8e pretty self-evidently represent the ports that card offers, but I don't understand what the xx part represents. Is there a reason you would prefer, say, a 9206-16e or 9201-16e over a 9200-16e? edit: the 92xx vs 93xx is also not quite squarely PCIe 2.0 vs 3.0... per this list the 9206 uses a SAS2308 which is PCIe 3.0, and the SAS2208 is 3.0 as well. I still legit have no idea how the gently caress that numbering scheme works. Looks like the best model for a disk shelf would be the 9206-16e since it's PCIe 3.0, assuming I don't want to spend for a 9300-16e or 9301-16e (which jump into the $300+ range). Sadly looks more expensive to find something with a full height bracket. Or is there no real advantage to going PCIe 3.0 on something as slow as HDDs?

calculate pcie bandwidth and see if it's worth it for your use case. pci-e 2.0 x8 will do 8GB/s; you would be lucky to get more than 100-150MB/s per hard drive, so you should be ok unless you are truly maxing out your storage or using massive numbers of expanders or tons of ssds pretty much all of the half-height LSI cards will have a full height bracket available, and usually if you are buying on the second hand market it will include said full height bracket. That link will also have the manufacturer's version of that specific card, which will save you tons of money vs buying the real deal lsi card.

The LSI brackets, as far as I can tell, are completely compatible across brands. So if you find some cheap old LSI 10XX card for peanuts because it doesn't support big drives, the bracket will probably still fit. Worst case you can get them cheap from the usual scumbags. Also even if you do use expanders, you're at the mercy of the intermediate SAS connections regarding maximum bandwidth. I have a mostly full DS4243 hanging off of a single 6gbps SAS connection and I haven't seen any issues.

I don't know if this is exactly germane to the thread but it's related to UnRAID so I'm going to ask it here anyway. I'm running UnRAID v6.8.2. I'm trying to get GitLab set up on my UnRAID box to act as a remote for my dumb hobby projects and to let me do some tracking and ticketing for them. I installed the GitLab-CE container through the community applications plugin. So far so good, I'm able to connect to the web interface, create users, and create projects. Where I'm stuck is trying to push my project to GitLab via ssh. I added my public key to my user account, at which point the documentation tells me to run ssh -T git@gitlab.com to test the connection. I've had no luck with either of ssh -T git@<UnRAID IP>:<GitLab SSH Port> or ssh -T <Asleep_Style>@<UnRAID IP>:<GitLab SSH Port> The error I get is "ssh: Could not resolve hostname <UnRAID IP>:<GitLab SSH Port>: Name or service not known" which to me says a DNS? problem? Which is confusing to me because I would only expect a DNS issue if I was trying to connect using a domain name. On a probably related note, the ssh link from the project page is given as git@unraid:Asleep_Style/<project>.git Which I would expect to be more like git@<UnRAID IP>:<GitLab SSH Port>/<project>.git While googling, I found this post on the UnRAID forums thread for the GitLab-CE container saying that a variable needs to be added to the container specifying the external URL. I can't see a way to do this through the UnRAID web interface for the container, and I'm not sure how to do this otherwise. Any advice or resources is appreciated (including a better thread for this question if I missed it). This problem is at the intersection of a bunch of domains where I'm ignorant: My linux is so-so, I haven't ssh'd anywhere in a year, and I've never used docker before. Most of the UnRAID documentation seems to assume knowledge I don't have - If there was a blog post somewhere like "babby's first steps beyond the UnRAID web interface" that would probably help me a lot.

Assuming this is OpenSSH, you can't specify the port with that syntax. Either use -p port or specify the destination as ssh://[user@]hostname[:port].

Has anyone screwed around with Stratis? I'm thinking of ditching Unraid for Centos8 since I'm very comfortable in Linux and Docker. BTRFS support is basically gone now that RH has dropped support, and I don't want to use ZFS. The machine is hooked up to a UPS if that matters. I notice there is no RAID for Stratis at the moment which is a bummer. I like the idea of having parity for at least one drive failure. I also like how Unraid leverages a cache drive in a tiered way. Edit: also, I prefer Centos to Ubuntu so I'd rather avoid that path.

The idea that integrity checking and RAID-like features are optional is bonkers to me, because they were central to ZFS and I don't see how you can retrofit them if they aren't part of the design unless you have GEOM-like layering - which is not evident from the design document, and the hybrid LVM/FS design of all such filesystems don't really allow for a GEOM-like framework (it's why GEOM can never do what ZFS does, even when UFS2 gets checksumming). They get a lot of points for doing a BSD and MIT-compatible license, though. BlankSystemDaemon fucked around with this message at 19:08 on Feb 14, 2020 |

For single users on personal accounts using your master key is fine. ApplicationKeyId's are there for business users where you want segregation of permissions. If you just have one giant bucket it doesn't matter.

H110Hawk posted:Don't support these dumb games by paying HPE money. It's a minor hassle compared to something like Dell which refuses to even sell maintenance after 7 years. Just at the end of last year we finally shut down one financial system server that had been running for something like 12 years, all that time under HPE maintenance contract. I would expect servers to be under warranty or maintenance contract anyway, so the paywall is a non-issue. And if a decently long warranty has expired, then the server is probably under such a maintenance phase that paywalled BIOS upgrades seldom have much interesting to offer and the critical updates like recent Intel microcode one seem to be free to download. The HPE SPP package is such a convenience it is almost worth the expense, I wish Dell would offer something like it. I had to create my own CentOS 7 USB boot stick to update the firmware on our Dell servers running Ubuntu.

Am I reading this right that the ASrock Rack has onboard graphics? I got a pretty sweet deal on a 2700x yesterday for my move to Debian 10 and BTRFS/Docker. It's a pricey board but the features on it look pretty great (IPMI especially). Poking around eBay I'm seeing about 220-250 for it. Anywhere I can get it any cheaper?

One of the disks I had in JBOD on my DS214se shat the bed overnight. I might recover some of the stuff, non of it critical. I have SOME of it backed up on another disk as well. I had 2x3TB in the thing, I want to double my storage, and perhaps have a RAID redundancy. I'm also leaning towards upgrading my appliance. It looks like the price performance curve on 3.5" HD's is 6TB? edit: hmm Toshiba x300 8TB for under $200... The DS214se will support 2x6TB drives which would be nice, but without redundancy. I'm looking at a DS218+ or a QNAP TS-251B. Do either of these support an external disk as part of a RAID? If not, I suppose something like a Synology DS418 is in play. I would also like if the device I end up purchasing would support a PLEX transcode situation. Is this enough info for some recommendations? I'm not poor anymore, but I don't want to go crazy. Thanks! edit: lol GB vs TB, how'd I even search for disks!? I'm getting old! LRADIKAL fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Feb 17, 2020 |

Just as a note, if you are looking at the datasheet, those are old. As long as you are up to date, your DS214se will allow up to i believe 16 tb disks from seagate is the highest one, the datasheet is simply the largest tested disks from when it comes out, it is never updated. The ds218+ would not allow external disks as part of the raid. A DS718+ would allow that with a synology expansion bay. DS218+ (and DS718+) and DS418play support transcoding, the DS418play has architecture to optimize transcoding. For synology, and plex, plex requires a subscription or life time subscription to use hardware transcoding. Remember: you only need hardware transcoding if your devices are not able to play the codec it is trying to play otherwise it does nothing, and the NAS and plex will just play the video, so if that is real important to you, it is something to keep in mind: https://support.plex.tv/articles/115002178853-using-hardware-accelerated-streaming/

That's good info. I'm pretty up on how plex works. I recently built an old PC from a buddy into a Plex server, which is pretty inefficient and noisy, but it's been working and pretty nice to use. Now I have to get my storage back up and running. edit: oh hmm, maybe I save money going with 2 big disks in the Synology and sticking with the DS214se

Shucking is also a good way to get more storage on the cheap. You're in for more warranty hassle that way as you have to keep a chassis around to do the RMA, or just self insure it. (AKA buy a new one when it dies.) Also oh god GB vs TB.
