Failure of brand new drive... possibly due to staggered spinup? by Dan Lenski
Hi all, I've just experienced a mystifying failure of a hard disk that was literally only one day old. It is a Hitachi Travelstar 5K160 (80gb 5400RPM SATA) that came with my new Dell laptop. I had installed Ubuntu Feisty Linux, and everything seemed to be working fine, and I even checked the...

Storage across multiple servers? by JB Orca
I am trying to find out how to do something that does not make much sense to me. I have spoken to a few people who say they have taken multiple servers (1u in this case) and striped the drives on those 1u servers so that all servers in the group were seeing all data on all servers. Does this make...

UFS 'limits'? by anon
anyone know how extensively Sun or anyone else has tested the scalability of UFS in real-world write-intensive environments in terms of number of files and/or dirs? i'm not talking theoretical limits, but what's actively in use every day? We've had some issues with NTFS at ~100,000,000...

SD Card - boot sector by Peter Sommerfeld
Hi guys, I am finding that reading the raw data off an SD in my embedded, that the boot sector is not actually at address 0, but differs from card to card (ie. my 64 MB has the boot sector at 4E00, and my 128 MB at C600). Everything else before this is read as 0's. I am not using any of the...

huge box of ram? by Paul Rubin
Is there such a thing as a relatively inexpensive box (up to a few K$, say) that can hold a huge amount of ram, like 200-1000 GB? It doesn't have to be battery backed or anything like that, but it should have ECC or at least parity. The application is a high traffic database cache.

Homebrew Snap Server / Netdisk ? by Jeff Sutter
Does anyone sell a SnapServer-like kit, where you provide your own drive(s)? I'm hoping for a network-attached, not firewire/usb device, in a very small package, so it can go on the road, that allows drives to appear as multiple 32g FAT32 partitions, so I can still access them from Windows 95...

SCSI is limited to 2 terabytes by Maurice Volaski
If you stick enough hard drives together, you can easily surpass 2 terabytes of combined space and if you try to connect them via SCSI, you will apparently not see all your space. That's because host bus adapters from Adaptec and LSI Logic can't see anything larger than 2 terabytes. I am using a...
