Hi Thomas, Looks like a known problem in b131 that is fixed in b132: http://bugs.opensolaris.org/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6912791 Unable to set sharename using zfs set sharesmb=name=value The workaround is to use sharemgr instead. Thanks, Cindy On 01/23/10 21:50, Thomas Burgess wrote:

It may depend on the firmware you're running. We've got a SAS1068E based card in Dell R710 at the moment, connected to an external SAS JBOD, and we did have problems with the as shipped firmware. Well, I may have misspoke. I just spent a good portion of yesterday upgrading to the latest

@Bob, yes you're completely right. This kind of engineering is what you get when buying a 2540 for example. All parts are nicely matched. When you build your own whitebox the parts might not match. But that wasn't my point. Vibration, in the drive and excited by the drive, increases with the

Good observation. It seems that I'm only keeping ahead of the folks in this forum by running as hard as I can. I just bought the sheet aluminum for making my drive cages. I'm going for the drives-in-a-cage setup, but I'm also floating each drive on vinyl (and hence dissipative, not resonant)
