Re: Wester Digital 'deep recovery cycle' and gstripe?

This would theoretically result in them being dropped from the array. Despite this, I've heard successful uses of these disks via gmirror. (Granted, not the same as gstripe). Again, in theory, if one disk enters a 'deep recovery cycle' and is dropped from the array, and during that time another disks does the same the array is toast, right? Umm...what are the odds of this occurring? War stories? (The more I type this out, the more it's starting to sound like a bad idea.) Thoughts, ideas? -Modulok- YMMV, but.

Does aaccli allow for production-time online check and array rebuild? Any trouble? bye Thanks av. We use the Adaptec 3805 here at Juniper with great success. The 3805 and 15K SAS drives are damn fast. We are very happy with them, however there are a few caveat. * The Adaptec driver in FreeBSD 6.2 does not understand what a 3805 is. Adaptec has released an update to the driver in source code. It is on their web site. There are several people who work at Juniper who have the commit bit so we are going to try and get the updated driver into the tree before 6.3. In the mean time, in order to install 6.2 with a 3805 one needs to install the driver at install time off of a floppy or a USB driver. Then either copy the kernel driver into /boot/kernel or recompile the kernel with the new driver. It's a little bit of a pain but once it's you can forget about it. * The early versions of this card had a nasty bug in the firmware. When the card was put under a heavy load the card would stall and timeout. Adaptec has released an update to the firmware on their web site. The update is a bootable ISO image. Updating the firmware requires one to reboot the system with the bootable CD then updating the firmware using the supplied program. * Aaccli, which is in the ports tree, does not understand what a 3805 is. Adaptec has a replacement program on their web site but I have only played around with it and not spent a lot of time with this tool.

We have done tests where we compared compiling all of our product on my SAN setup with compiling on local SCSI disk in a RAID 10. The SAN is only 6% to 10% slower. Considering how much easier it is to manage a farm of servers talking to a SAN instead of each server having it's own disk array, a 10% hit in disk performance is considered acceptable. I have a meeting setup for Thursday to talk to your people, Network Appliance, about SAN attaching to our new 6030 filers. The answer we keep getting, and I'm sure this is right, is this should work like a charm. SAN on FreeBSD does work. The only problems we have is 1) There is only 1 card that really works.

Pulling a patch release using cvsup
I'm trying to figure out how, using cvsup, to pull a specific patch release. For example, FreeBSD 4.11-RELEASE-p14. I've tried using the date of a specific patch from /usr/src/UPDATING but that does not work.

You would be well advised to discuss what you're going to do with your ISP before hand, and convince them it's all legitimate lest they descend upon you from a great height waving AUP's and threatening to cut you off. Oh, yes. Unless your company is very large and does this volume all the time, 6000 emails suddenly being sent by your company would make your access provider sit up and take notice. LDAP? Scripts? It's fairly easy to write a small shell script that sends the same message in turn to each address in a list of addresses. There's all sorts of niceties, like you can substitute the recipient address into the message headers and personalises the message to the recipient. If this is a one time thing, try using the attached perl script. It is brute force but it works. Oh, don't try and use the machine that this script is running on while it is running, it will be really busy. If you are going to be doing this often or this is going to be an on going event you might want to consider using a mailing list package like mailman, which is in out our ports collection.

I don't think so...maybe it's time to pay the piper. The good news ... I have been wrong before. OTOH, if they're all pointing to the same IP, the zone files wouldn't be near as hard as named.conf, you could almost use cp and a replace tool and have 300 zone files up in a day... 30 lines of perl should do the job.
