Has anyone successfully mounted a CIFS share from OpenIndiana on 13.04? The symptom is that when you try to do a mount.cifs on a share from an OI server, you get an error message like this: mount error(5): Input/output error Refer to the mount.cifs(8) manual page (e.g. man mount.cifs) Here...

I'm currently in the middle of a large (multi-terabyte) rsync between two ZFS servers. The source server is using a Supermicro X8SIL-F / Xeon X3440 and is in a Norco 4020 case with the stock fans exhausting out the back. It's not the best ventilated case in the world, but the two rear fans...

Okay, I know this sounds crazy, but assuming I added a decent video card, how well would a Supermicro X8SIA-F work for light HTPC duty? For reasons I won't bore anyone with, I have in my possession an X8SIA-F (3420 chipset), Xeon X3440 with 8GB ECC that is currently grossly underutilized. I...

I'm looking at building a small home router/firewall box running pfSense 2.0. I will be using an Intel dual-port E1G42ET card, since I've had one sitting around for over a year and want to press it into service. The motherboard I'm looking at is an Asus P8H61-I, which is a Mini-ITX Socket 1155...

I just upgraded my home server from ESXi 4.1 to 5.0.0. Prior to the upgrade I had been running mainly a ZFS server based on SE11, which I recently moved to OpenIndiana151a. I also have a Debian 6 VM and a few other miscellaneous VMs. Anyway, when I first migrated, I installed ESXi 5 on a...

Is anyone here using a Supermicro X8SIA-F with either Solaris 11 Express, OpenIndiana, or Nexenta? When I boot the live CD for the latest versions of any of these, the Intel ethernet driver (e1000g) seems to have problems recognizing either of the dual onboard NICs. The driver looks like it...

Assuming you are using 3.0Gbps mechanical drives, and IT mode firmware, is there any particular reason to prefer an LSI 2008-based controller over the older 1068e? From what I've read the power consumption is about the same. The only thing I can come up with is that, since the 2008 has a PCIe...
