Sorry it was 15MB/sec but thats still not very good. I spoke to a guy somewhere in asia and him and his friend (they worked for a large company forgot the name now) conducted some benchmarktests that show exactly the same as mine so i guess its just the speed that this array can do. To my luck we use this array for storage now and not so much for serverbackend diskcapacity. > I have heard horror stories about IDE raid when discs actualy die.

If you are thinking on this one -> http://www.promise.com/product/product_detail_eng.asp?productId=90&familyId=6 Dont buy it! It as simple as that. 1 year ago i bought one of those bastards from promise and its slooow. Im running it as filer on a debian 3.0 system filesystem xfs and i havent been able to push it to a sustain throughput on more than 3MB/sec. This is with 8 60GB IBM deskstar 7200rpm disks in raid5. Recently a disk crashed on me and the hole array went offline allthough the manual says it should continue to function. NOT TRUE! I relplace the broken drive with a new and the promisearray began to rebuild i thought i where homesafe. After rebuilding in 15 hours the array went offline again and nothing i did got it back?? I called localshop where i bought it nobody could help me they suggested that i contacted promise in netherlands. Story continues. Promise in netherlands where quit helpfull but what they suggested got me pulling out my hair!!! (what i have left of it). They suggested that i deletede the array, created a new and saved it then just after saving it i had to pull out the powercord in the back so the array wouldn't initialize. I would not belive what i was hearing. Pulling out powercord while the array is initializing sounds like a hugh hack to me but i did it just because i didnt knew what else to do. It actually worked so now im back to the good old slw promisearray and after a xfs_repair my filer was up and running again. Next time i have to buy ideraid ill try 3ware for sure. -- Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Kirk ARKENA thomas(at)arkena(dot)com Http://www.arkena.com BOFH excuse #283: Lawn mower blade in your fan need sharpening -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

building a gateway
Hey There Listmembers Im currently examine how to build a internetgateway for my office using linux kernel 2.4.x + iptables + NAT + DHCP. The gateway will be connected to the internet via ADSL : +-+ | ADSL| +-+ | | eth0 +---+ |GATEWAY| |IPTABLES | |DHCP + NAT | +---+ | | | | | | eth1 eth2 eth3 This is a rough sketch of the system. Im gonna be runing DHCP on all the interfaces eth1,eth2,eth3. So now i wanna know are there any considerations i should be aware of? Have anyone on the list made something like this. I would like to hear any experince people have with iptables, DHCP and, nat.

Building NAS
Dear Listmembers Im new to this list so let me introduce myself. My name is Thomas and i work for a small streaming media company in denmark. Currently im investigating how to build a NAS. In this investigation some questions has come up which im not currently able to answer. Neither have i had the luck to find any answers to my question on the net. Let me try to describe the setup we are aiming for and then you guys can comment on that if you have any experince in the field. Hardware setup : HP LH3 (now LH3000) Dual Pentium III 650mhz 512 Ram ECC Netgear GA620 (gigabit networkcard) Harddisks in raid 5 array Connection to streaming servers via Gigabit networkswitch and 10/100mbit networkcards in the servers. Hence the fact that we have a mixed linux/windows (only one) ;-) enviroment im aiming for SMB/CIFS to share the disk with the windowsserver and NFSv3 for the unixboxes. Software setup : OS : The NAS running Debian 2.4.x Filesystem : XFS/ReiserFS/Ext3FS ? Networkprotocols: NFSv3 and SMB So now my questions : 1) What kind of network overhead can i expect to see on the diffrent network protocols? 2) Currently im heading for Ext3fs as filesystem but ive been looking at XFS which sounds very promising too. If anyone have some experince and can spread some light on it i would be very grateful. 3) Where in the systems is it most likely that i will experince bottlenecks? 4) Just general comments on the system and if anyone have any experinces building a NAS. I have looked at VA-linux NAS solutions which in overall look alike the system i thought i would build for my company allthough i think their systems are way to expensive which is also why we are going to build our own ;-) -- Venlig hilsen/Kind regards Thomas Kirk ARKENA [EMAIL PROTECTED] Http://www.arkena.com Time is an illusion, lunchtime doubly so. -- The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
