[osol-discuss] "small" jbod tower?
I am trying to find an 8bay (minimum) storage tower that doesn't take up a ton of space *and* doesn't cost a fortune. The best option would be a minimally sized self contained box like a via box I read about (but can't find for sale) http://www.mswhs.com/2009/10/via-nsd-7800-review/ The second best option is a tower that has a basic (JBOD, no raid needed obviously) 8 disk controller. The third best is the options are what I have found already http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132016 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111072 but they are more than i need (don't need raid). So I would love to get some recommendations on what other people are using that fits (or comes close) to what I am looking for.

Re: [osol-discuss] "small" jbod tower?
You didn't specify SATA or SAS (or speed if the latter) and what kind of external connector (SAS or eSATA). I've built my chassis for Nexentastor with LSI HBAs and Promise chassis with mini SAS connectors (SFF-8088) and both 6G/s 3.5" SAS drives & SATA drives. But they only have rack-mount in 8 bay configs. This looks interesting, however, as it offers the same flexibility of drive choices as the Promise vTrak; http://www.sansdigital.com/towerraid/tr8xb.html -Gary ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] "small" jbod tower?
oops sorry. I am looking for a SATA device, not SAS; with an eSATA external connector (one if possible, instead of two cables). The TR8XB you linked to does look interesting but is a bit out of my price range as I have found the TR8M for about $300 (would like to get below $300 if it is just a tower, if full computer like the Via box I linked to then it would be nice to get below say $450) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] Working with Cron under Solaris 10
Cron only reads the crontab file when it starts. Man cron and search for 'examines'. As you found out, sending a HUP doesn't work. Since cron runs as a SMF controlled service in Solaris 10, killing the process will cause SMF to restart it. The crontab file will then be read and changes, if any, will be implemented. I used the following to test it: pgrep -fl cron 508 /usr/sbin/cron sudo kill 508 # or sudo pkill cron pgrep -fl cron 1368 /usr/sbin/cron # new process ID 1368 means it was restarted. I hope this helps. --ron -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
Re: [osol-discuss] can you help about process?
Solaris 10 does not include top. It can be downloaded from sunfreeware.com. Solaris 11 has top in /bin/top (32 bit) and /usr/bin/amd64/top (64 bit). pkg search top in Solaris 11 will show you the locations. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

This reduces the overhead of checking for new or changed files at regularly scheduled intervals. --- Cheers, Chris ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
