It's up and working, since I forced a time sync, but I'm curious as to why it fell out in the first place.

It happens, NTP is pretty unstable.

With the new partner pricing, maybe I'll have to finally get one of these bad boys to play with.

@DustinB3403 Thanks for your help! NFS is case sententive, it is mounted now! 😄

Everything outside of the Windows and DOS worlds is case sensitive. SMB, NFS, URLs, file names, passwords, usernames, everything.

Thats what bugs me about Linux ... I hate case sensitive things.

I'm the opposite, I can't stand that DOS can't tell two characters apart and has "close enough" syntax so that people become sloppy and begin to lose the concept of congruency. I remember dealing with a bunch of students and getting them to understand things like "This", "this" and "t h I s" were not congruent was a real problem. Windows teachers users that exact doesn't mean exact, not always.

I think that is why I like cisco's ios software... i don't have to type the full command... just enough to distinguish it from the other commands available.... I see the benefits of case sensitive, it just will take me a bit to get used to using it as I learn Linux.

@Jason you be careful with that!

Those little Atom processors that they tend to use (I miss the Sparc32 days, it was just more interesting) use very little electrical power and produce very little heat and tend to last for forever. Pretty much unbeatable.

We will be waiting quite some time to see how 6.0 shakes out before we touch any of ours

As mentioned earlier, I would be interested, but would like to know more about the lab now that you have all in place, on what do we get to play with

A bit off topic... are ReadyNAS devices built on a Debian core?

Yes, all of our OSes for ReadyNAS devices use Debian.

@scottalanmiller pfffft, why bother considering that? It's not like stuff ever breaks.
 
There may have been sarcasm in there somewhere.

Yes please.

Major new feature is direct backup to Azure.

@Brett-at-ioSafe Better late than never.

Direct to Azure is pretty nice. Would like to see Rackspace support too.

@alexntg you are correct, however if people haven't updated like some that i know this is still a very real possibility

That's very odd. I'm surprised to see any concurrency issues with NFS in that way.

I know and that's what has me puzzled. I'm firing up a Linux system in the morning to eliminate it being a problem with the Unix systems. I only have to hang onto them for about another year and they are done, our software won't be supported on Unix any longer for this particular customer so those boxes are loosing relevance quickly.

What non-Linux UNIX do you run?

I have 1 SunOS 5.9 and 1 5.10 system. Just took a even older system offline last week.

Wow. On Sparc I hope.

I believe they are. Whatever Ford required us to have in order to test our software that they use in Production OEM settings. That changes at the end of the month, they are switching to all Windows x64 systems. We have to maintain these two boxes long enough to satisfy legacy support for a few other customers but they've also been put on notice to migrate their Solaris software to Windows, because we've for the most part stopped building new releases for Solaris because all of the major CAD vendors have stopped supporting *nix and are only releasing Windows software.

Biggest thing is the OpenSSL patch.

I have a DS211J at home. I back it up to an attached USB hard drive as well as use iDrive from my laptop to back it up to "the cloud". I don't really use any of the extra features, just the shared folders and the time backup (kinda like VSS).

I have a client with a Rackstation 2211RP+ with an attached RX1211 expansion unit. It works very well and is rock-solid. Again just using the shared folders on an AD network.

@scottalanmiller Seagate surprised me with what a POS their NAS offering is. Not at all happy with it.

Drive makers don't make the best storage appliances. Just doesn't go together. Their interest is in selling drives. WD does a little better, but it is a weak offering too. It's RAID 5 only so that you have to buy super expensive RE drives.

I just have a two bay at the moment. It is a pretty recent addition. Very nice unit though. I actually have the ioSafe fire proof, water proof unit.
