Based on my earlier thread i found that in order for me to get more reporting I need to setup a squid transparent proxy server of some sort. Now how to do that within the confines of my network structure which is basically: (Linksys ACM3200) Router->LAN Switch->PC's What i will have to do is...

tl;dr: How to get AMD core performance boost on linux? Or how to read CPU frequency correctly? My setup consists of two AMD Epyc 7301 (2.2GHz Base, 2.7GHz boost) on a Supermicro H11DSi. I just installed Opensuse Tumbleweed which comes with Kernel version 4.14.2-1-default. uname -a Linux...

Hallo Everybody, First of all I want to apologize for some potential mistakes in my English but I’m not an English native speaker … Also I don’t know if I put the question into the right topic, correct me if I’m wrong My Question is about the ZFS file System I want to use ZFS for a...

Hello, i wonder if there is a way to have more fine grained control about ARC usage than limiting arc for the whole kernel module, and therefore all pools. Let's say i have three pools, one for the root-filesystem, the other for data and one for backup. I want the root-pool to consume a fairly...

tl:dr: ECC on Ryzen AM4 Asus B350 verifies. Drivers and kernel are catching up to ECC, 1080ti, and Ryzen SMT, but manually upgrading worked well for me. Having a spare computer relieves all the pressure of a new build. Use case: Machine learning, cryptocurrency mining, programming, VM...

Supermicro SuperDoctor® 5 | Supermicro Server Management Utilities | Products - Super Micro Computer, Inc. Trying to install SD5 in a Proxmox build. The installer goes through with no errors but it never gets installed. I've installed SD5 many times on my XenServer host. Any ideas??

Poking around the internet looking for a NAS Distro to try. I was planning on going to FreeNAS Corral since it had Docker Integration...but we know how that went :( Seems like most people have gone to ZFS historically because it was more stable than BTRFS, but is that still the case today...

I'm in the process of setting up a DIY NAS box for my personal use running Ubuntu Server 16.04, 11 hard drives of various capacities, a 3Ware 9650SE controller in JBOD mode, and ZFS. My controller has 16 ports, and I'm currently only using 8 of them, with the remaining 3 HDDs and two SSDs for OS...

With AMD's Zen around the corner, I am getting ideas about what I might do with a crazy number of CPU cores. I am looking to build a computer for use as a multi-seat workstation. I would like to have my host be some very stripped down OS (as close to "bare metal" as possible), and exclusively do...

I have low windows-to-linux samba file copy speeds and I can't figure out why. I have 2 machines that I can dual boot windows and linux. Windows-to-Windows file copy has no problem maxing out gigabit ethernet at 110+ MB/s. But when I reboot one machine into linux, it can barely hit 60-65 MB/s...

Another post here today got me thinking about a project a friend of mine asked me about... Somewhat highly available system that will be I think a web server... He has 2 (and could get a 3rd) Intel NUC (nuc5ppyh I believe). Has low requirements and they have 250gb Ssd and 8gb. How would you...

You're probably here because you've decided to join a Linux machine to your beloved Active Directory. If so, excellent! If instead you're here for cat videos, comics or the like, I'm afraid you're going to be very bored. Assumptions I'm going to make a few assumptions about you, dear reader...

Hello from Geneva Switzerland, while preparing for a new Linux training session I thought I could share the videos I’m preparing for the participants. In that one you can review /learn the installation steps for Linux Debian 8. I use Virtual Box like that you can also learn Linux if you have a...

A new member (@ReXX) pointed out that we have a lot of content on Linux distributions and Proxmox that has no home. At the same time we have fewer UnRAID posts and OpenFiler has become less popular. I updated the topic of that forum to be more current with what the STH community is talking...
