[osol-discuss] idmapd on snv_134
Hello, I've been having a few problems with idmapd on OS snv_134, after a day or so of 6+ users saving and fetching fils via CIFS if likes to leak memory at a ridiculous rate. It get's to the point where it will lock me out of the machine (ssh etc.) and I have to kill the power and restart it. I currently have a cron job to restart the service every 15 minutes, but still, on occasion it 'crashes'. I've seen the problem mentioned a few times. but the fix just seems to be restart it with a cron. Can anyone give a better solution? Thanks! - Daniel___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Still not sure how to get the builders to use that but I suspect I'll have to track them down and get an oral promise. But anyway there turns out to be a drawback with that one too, in that it's kind of weak in the expansion slots: 1 x PCIe 2.0 x16 2 x PCIe 2.0 x1 1 x PCI But I found another one on this builders list that appears to have ECC and better expansion slots: Unless Ian C. is right about ECC, then this board has the same notation as the other one: All I said was if they don't say ECC is supported, it isn't! In this case, they do. Actually, most sites lie to you about ECC support for socket AM3 motherboards. You need to look at the Manufacturer's site, and get the manual for the actual motherboard model. ALL Athlon/Phenom CPUs support ECC RAM (it's a function of the memory controller built into the CPU), and unless the motherboard manufacturer does something really, really stupid, the motherboard will to. In fact, the MB manufacturer has to go out of their way to break ECC support - it's cheaper just to leave things be, and support ECC, than it is to NOT support ECC on an AM3 motherboard. The catch here is that they support BOTH ECC and non-ECC RAM, so most sites see the supports non-ECC and assume it doesn't also support ECC (Intel still has an either/or requirement, while AMD can do both). For Socket AM3 motherboards, you want unbuffered, non-registered ECC. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Eric, Intel Sandybridge, does it support ECC? I heard that Intel does not allow hardware targeted to home users support ECC. Only server stuff supports ECC. Ive heard. Do you know anything about Intel stuff in general? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

If the product is labeled Xeon something or other, it DOES support ECC. Remember that Sandy Bridge is a new microarchitecture design, so there will be multiple different CPU lines coming out using it. There will be i7, Xeon 5000-series, and Xeon 7000-series CPUs using the Sandy Bridge microarchitecture. The exact features of each vary (you'll have to look at Intel's site for more info. I prefer to use http://ark.intel.com ) So, may very well have a case where a specific Intel motherboard will support both a i7 and Xeon CPU, but only be able to use ECC with the Xeon. All this is a side effect of moving the memory controller into the CPU die, and out of the Northbridge chipset. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Haryy, ECC RAM is a 'nice to have' if this is a PRO server - but not critical for home use/SOHO use. The main thing to consider is you can build a very good dedicated NAS server for around $800 USD that can provide you with up to 8TB-12TB w/2TB drives). If you have a good computer builder, they can design you something very nice within a decent price range scalable up to 8TB-12TB (most designs) and small enough in a mini-tower. You should not have to spend over $1000 for a good design with high-quality customized parts for just a ZFS NAS server in today's market. You can spend less with a dedicated predesigned commercial unit... ~ Ken Mays --- On Mon, 2/21/11, Harry Putnam rea...@newsguy.com wrote: From: Harry Putnam rea...@newsguy.com Subject: Re: [osol-discuss] Another [OT] Hardware Post To: opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org Date: Monday, February 21, 2011, 3:29 PM Ian Collins i...@ianshome.com writes: Unless Ian C. is right about ECC, then this board has the same notation as the other one: All I said was if they don't say ECC is supported, it isn't!

You should not have to spend over $1000 for a good design with high-quality customized parts for just a ZFS NAS server in today's market. Do you have any ideas how to connect with such a builder? So far, I've only looked at a couple of those build it online type sites where they allow you to pick parts from a list they have. The one where I quoted the price 1300+ was found on ebay called magic-micro. I have no connection with them or any special reason to think they are particularly `good', its just one that I found by accidentally scrolling further down a ebay page than usual and happend to notice a `Customize it' link. And I gradually gravitated toward the higher end stuff, as my eyes got bigger :). They had plenty of various brand amd quads too, not just the 6 core phenom setup I picked. I would really like to hear from someone with personal experience with a builder available on line that would be knowledgeable of solaris and zfs and the necessary hardware. You can spend less with a dedicated predesigned commercial unit... Can you name a few? ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

Lesser filesystems will silently ignore corruptions cased by a memory error. ZFS will not. If your data has any value, the small additional cost of ECC RAM is cheap insurance! -- Ian. ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org

And was it this thread that I already responded to -- have you looked at the HP Proliant Microserver (N36L)? It holds four drives, up to 8Gb ECC RAM, and has very low power consumption. And there's no assembly required except for buying the bard drives and installing them on the sleds. I think this would be an ideal small/home office server. Just remember that you won't need to configure the RAID controller because that'll be taken care of by ZFS. -Gary ___ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
