Re: IPv6 Launch day preparation
Interesting setup you have there!! From the session, do you have configs for the different scenarios that were tested and what kind of 'issues' were unearthed?

i have not tested to see who catches what. not really into spam research. just trying to reduce it for a server. randy

Do they return a canned answer that says don't block, or do you get to wait for a DNS timeout? Is there some reason you're asking random people rather than spending the 30 seconds needed to find out for yourself? R's, John
Re: Most energy efficient (home) setup
Once upon a time, Jeroen van Aart jer...@mompl.net said: There may be a performance penalty using raid4, because it uses one parity disk. Although that system looks like it can be useful for some purposes it looks less ideal for home use. Also I don't see how it would allow you to install your own OS. For read-mostly storage, there's no penalty as long as there's no disk failure. The parity drive wouldn't even spin up for reads. -- Chris Adams cmad...@hiwaay.net Systems and Network Administrator - HiWAAY Internet Services I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.

Two drives, up to 750GB each, or SSD's if you prefer. The Mac mini server is quite intringuing with that low power requirement . Unfortunately... 16 GB _Non-ECC_ memory. I sure would not want to run a NAS VM on a server with non-ECC memory that cannot correct single-bit errors, at least with any data I cared much about.. When you have such a large quantity of RAM, single-bit/fade errors caused by background irradiation happen often, although at a fairly low rate. Usually on a workstation it's not an issue, because there is not a massive quantity of idle memory. If you're running this 24x7 with VMs and Non-ECC memory, it's only a question of time, before silent memory corruption results in one of the VMs. And silent memory corruption can make its way to the filesystem, or applications' internal saved data structures (such as the contents of a VM's registry database). True can be partially mitigated with backups; but the idea of VMs blue-screening or ESXi crashing with purple screen every 3 or 4 months sounds annoying. 12 frickin' watts when idle. Or thereabouts. Think about 40 watts when running full tilt, maybe a bit more. -- -JH
