Thanks for the reply! I used the import -T method a few years ago to rescue a damaged pool, and was hoping I'd be able to use it again to help get me to a good place. This was with straight Solaris 11.4. Good idea to try 11.4 CBE, I'll upgrade and see if that changes anything.

(The following is on Solaris 11.4 on x86_64) Hey everyone, I am hoping someone can help me with a problem I have. There was some combination of power outage and power supply failure that produced corruption across my pool, making it unusable. I tried swapping out all hardware components piece...

If you have it installed without issues, then "fio-status -a" from a command prompt.

Sounds fishy to me, I've never had any problems with the SSD toolbox and the 3500 drives or 3700 drives.

Thank you, I just ordered one.

Bit-rot is something I have experienced as well, and also worry about. I was scared to get scared in proprietary hardware methods to combat it so I settled on a combination of ZFS along with scrubs, and a PAR2 with 10% recovery on things I care about the most (like all of the photos I take)...

Hey, unfortunately I couldn't get things working, but it was in the return window so I returned the unit and got another one, which worked fine

Hmm, it is still not a happy camper. I can't find out how to unload and load the driver in windows like on the unices. If y'all think that will work I can put this in another system and do that. C:\Windows\system32>fio-format /dev/fct1 /dev/fct1: Error detected. Device is not in a valid...

Dang, something was up with my notifications, I didn't see your suggestions until now. Will try unload and reload and a format and see if that cleans it up. It's a new (to me) card so I'm fine with blowing everything away. Thanks guys!

Hey everyone, I got a used ioDrive2 duo from e-bay and it has an issue I am trying to resolve. It is only starting up in minimal mode, due to "Device is missing midprom data" according to fio-status. I am running 3.2.8 which supports this card. In case it was a firmware mis-match, I tried...

Since a 1GB file is created essentially instantly, I figured it was empty, and when I use default 7-zip parameters, a 1GB file zips down to ~1.1MB, so yep.

Nice, thanks! In the past, I've always resorted to using dd on a unix system then transferring the files to a Windows system, this saves some time for cases when you don't care what the file is composed of.

I was being serious. I do something similar (and also with a Noctua) :) Your case looks more elegant with it though, my P182 doesn't quite wrap around it as well.

love that Noctua in the 5.25 bays!

Yes, good point about mentioning empty slots! I try to keep my PC quiet so I value having a space next to my video card (mandatory) and fusion-IOs (if possible).

Thank you. That's the board I would go with if I went Skylake-SP, and I was close to building a system on a X10SRL before the Skylake-W were announced. But, the Skylake-W CPUs are a better fit for my workload (see more at Single-socket Skylake Happiness (was sadness) ) Do these new boards work...

I was hoping to see boards with more PCI-e slots. Does anyone know if any are arriving soon? I didn't see any other boards I liked from any other manufacturers either. Supermicro, if you are listening, a 16x for my video card, 3 8x for my storage and NICs, a 4x, 4x to an m.2, all unswitched...

I'm looking for better interactive performance in Adobe Lightroom. That is mostly single-threaded, with some other core use, but it does not scale well across cores. I realize that the E5-1650/1660/1680/2667/2698W would be faster than what I have now, but I'm looking for something faster...

It's a better fit for my workload and priorities. The W-2145 looks like the one I will get, and I finally have something that is worth upgrading from my current W3690 for.

OP here. Super super happy to see today's news! From before, what is the saying, "Those who know do not say, those that say do not know"? :) New Intel Xeon W Processors for Professional Workstations Announced I was hoping they were coming, and historically the single socket Xeons were...
