    Disks with different sizes and controllers

    Thanks for the feedback. I've already created two separated mirror pools. The performance won't be really affected since it's for a home file server and I'm only writing at one mirror at the same time. Yesterday I copied all my Images over the network and achieved speeds up to 100MB/s...

    Disks with different sizes and controllers

    I'm currently converting my old PC to a file server. The PC has four hard drives: 1. SATA 80GB: already installed FreeBSD with ZFS on this drive. 2. SATA 250GB 3. SATA 500GB 4. PATA 160GB: connected on the Asus motherboard (P5KR) through a JMicron controller. Questions: 1...

    Exporting external disks

    What is the proper way to export a file system after the system is already running . I want to export a manually mounted file system. So I guess I should adjust /etc/exports after I have manually mounted (ntfs-3g) the external ntfs drive. Currently I haven't been able to export this external...

    top and reported user cpu usage.

    The computer load is not just determined by the CPU alone, but also by the whole system. Although the CPU is the heart of the computer, the same machine can be heavily loaded if under relative low CPU loads. For example a file operation can bring the hard disk under heavy load. As you can see...

    Disk error

    I have a SATA disk from a TV recorder. The drive looks like any normal SATA drive. The problem is that it cannot be accessed. Upon boot I received an error looking like this: ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA retrying (1 retry left) LBA=XXXXX ad0: TIMEOUT - READ_DMA48 retrying (1 retry left)...

    New server

    Perhaps you could setup one of the two as a nfs server, so you can copy all data from the old to the new machine over the network.

    4GB or more amd64

    I checked the manual of your motherboard and that's the way you should connect it, if you use two DIMMs of 2GB AND want to have dual channel mode. The label Channel A and Channel B does not refer to what dual channel means. If you have want to use three DIMMs: From the Intel User's guide...

    4GB or more amd64

    So just to be sure, did you install both memories in Channel A (the blue and the black slot the closest to the CPU)?

    4GB or more amd64

    Could you more specify the models you used? Are they all the same. Did you pair them according to the guidelines of the user's manual?

    USB stick fails to connect

    Thanks, I'll take a look into your suggestions. Actually a couple years back I had something similar with Solaris and a Transcend USB stick. It turned out to be a Solaris issue.

    USB stick fails to connect

    I already did this (on a Linux box) Even then I don't see how this is going to help. In my opinion this is purely a hardware - kernel issue. There is something 'new' in the hardware of this stick the USB layer of the operating system cannot cope with.

    USB stick fails to connect

    I cleared the USB stick completely on a Linux machine by: # dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdc bs=64k It doesn't seem to help though.

    I just bought a new USB stick (Kingston Data traveler G3) http://www.kingston.com/flash/dt_chart.asp and received this error when hooking up. It does work under Linux 2.6.32. My other Kingston USB sticks work fine. Any thoughts? uhub_reattach_port: device problem (USB_ERR_TIMEOUT), disabling...

    Installing FreeBSD without a battery

    This could be a 'power management' issue. Do you still have this error if you replace the dead battery? Performance wise there should be no issue if you remove the battery. I mean, it's not like in a car, when the engine is running and you would disconnect the battery: the output of the...

    Sun Blade 1500 install boot fails

    Thanks for the feedback. I ran OpenBSD on this machine for a while...until the hard disk failed. I replaced it with 'just another' IDE hard drive and guess what... It does not recognize the hard drive for some obscure reason. Anyway, it's been more than a month since I have been looking into it...
