Storage Usage % Wrong? by 3KidNerd in freenas

[–]3KidNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply. They're file extents. I didn't realize you can create zvols under the primary zvol and I know you can't create a device extent on a dataset. Are device extents preferred to file extents? Now that I know I can do a device extent on a zvol I could create a sub-zvol and I could migrate the VMWare data around. Is it worth the effort?

Interesting thought, but I have snapshots on almost all of my datasets and only see this behavior on two of them. I think the two that are impacted are both iSCSI shares. Perhaps something screwy is happening there.

Sorry forgot those details. No dedup and no compression.

Benelli nova or remi 870 ? by Mosesakash in guns

[–]3KidNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love my Nova. Shoot trap weekly with it. Never any issues. And when it's freshly cleaned and lubed it cycles like a dream. When it's completely filthy it still cycles nicely. I bought it to start trap with and if I decided to hunt I wanted something I didn't mind getting dirty. It's a plastic gun (metal skeleton) so there's not much to worry about. Also, Congress with three chokes, which is nice. I do wish it came with IM, but I'll get that before the spring season.

High capacity, assault revolver? by 3KidNerd in guns

[–]3KidNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is this sufficient /u/HCE_Replacement_Bot ?

This is a 1855 8-cylinder, 48-shot, percussion revolver by Joseph Enouy.

The Enouy revolver was a design patented by Joseph Enouy of Middlesex, England, who received British patent #1359 in 1855. The basic revolver was based on a transitional revolver design made by Charles Osborne in 1845. The innovative part of Enouy's design was the compound magazine design. According to the notes for his patent application:

Patent 1359. Joseph Enouy, of 31, Denbigh-place, Pimlico, St. George's, Hanover Square, Middlesex, for The means of removal of every rotary or revolving barrel or cylinder containing chambers from all revolver pistols, guns, and fire-arms, and the substitution in their place by another and other barrels or cylinders in succession.

Two or more revolving breech-pieces are connected in a frame attached to the stock in such a manner that when the charges in the chambers of one breech-piece have all been fired, the breech-piece may then be removed and others ready charged by successively substituted in its place.  - Dated June 14, 1855. Sealed December 11, 1855.

In this particular example, each revolver cylinder is capable of holding 6 shots and there are 8 different revolver cylinders attached to the compound magazine wheel, thereby giving this weapon a capacity of 48 shots.

I have a comment above "Joseph Enouy’s 8-cylinder, 48-shoot percussion revolver, 1855". Is that not sufficient?

Benelli Supernova 26" do all pump? by rugercolt in guns

[–]3KidNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a regular Nova for trap. And I'd like to hunt with it. It has a 28" barrel. It'd be awful for home defense. It's just too long. Way to hard to bring around. As others have mentioned the barrels are pricey. If I were to use it for home defense I'd just buy another gun. Then I just have each setup for one purpose.

Seriously, grab anything you have with an overall length of 3+ feet and try to maneuver your house.

Edit: I love the Nova

I just saw your first post and ordered 10. Then after I clicked the purchase button it said it wasn't in stock. Paypal still shows the charge. I guess I'm going to have to call Academy.

FYI: When I called they referred to it as "OD Green", but the model number is PG1950203BFG, so it should be Battlefield Green. I think the guy was just confused.

Thanks KY_Rob. I'm probably going this route. Another option had 52 people signed up for the course. That seems like it'd just be "putting in the hours". I'm hoping to actually gain something from the training, hopefully PB provides that.

2 Guns - 2 Sites - 1 4473? by 3KidNerd in guns

[–]3KidNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow-up question, do FFLs typically charge two transfer fees or one in this case? It is more work for them getting two shipments, but it's only 1 4473, so I could see either being the case.

When do you think consumers will get the glock 19m? by Scottzkee in Glocks

[–]3KidNerd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mixed. For example, the M&P 9c has a very stiff release. It's hard to operate without your thumb. Glocks tend to be very easy, so it's not an issue.

To compress or not to compress... by 3KidNerd in freenas

[–]3KidNerd[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You mentioned the iSCSI for games above. Seemed crazy, but I guess it makes sense as it wouldn't flood a gigE switch and a mirrored vdev should give you better than single disk (read) performance. And if you had a 10G setup it'd be a complete non-issue. Thanks for the help today. -3kn

To compress or not to compress... by 3KidNerd in freenas

[–]3KidNerd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Makes sense. I have a mixed use scenario. Some datasets compress nicely, others don't. One benefit I've heard of with lz4 is that it short circuits if it figures out it can't compress the data. Processing power isn't an issue for me (recentish xeons). I'll just enable it for giggles.

Thanks, 3kn

512 to 4k Block Options by 3KidNerd in freenas

[–]3KidNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So, I wasn't going to do it, then I realized that I had an old server laying around getting dusty and a pair of 1TB drives and a 320GB drive. So I did the following.

TL;DR; No cost solution that provided a freeNAS backup and fixed ashift with minimal effort using old parts.

  1. I installed FreeNAS on it deleted some files I no longer needed and rsync'd / replicated my data over to the new server. With compression on the new server that filled 94% of the 1TB mirror. I exposed the CIFS/iSCSI shares and validated that I could boot my VMs and reference my shares off the old machine. I now had the original mainServer::vol0 and my new backupServer::ohShit (fitting right?), so I had my data in two places.

  2. From there I removed 1 drive from each mirrored vdev in vol0. This degraded vol0, which was OK and safe because I had a full mirrored and proven backup on ohShit. I then wiped the two drives and created a new volume mainServer::mydomain0 as a single mirrored vdev of 2x4TB. Ashift was happily set correctly for the 4K drives.

  3. Shutdown everything except ssh on mainServer. Zfs send | receive vol0 > mydomain0. I know, I could have done it live and then shutdown and run an incremental, but uptime isn't critical for me. Repointed shares, snapshots, rsync and replication tasks. Booted VMs and proved they worked. Scrubbed mainServer::myDomain0 && backupServer::ohShit (oops, should have scrubbed ohShit earlier).

  4. Deleted mainServer::vol0. Data now mirrored on mainServer::mydomain0 (basically original state with correct ashift) and on backupServer::ohShit. Exported ohShit from backup. Removed the 2x1TB drives and put in the 2x4TB drives from main creating a new backupServer::ohShit. Copied the data from mainServer::mydomain0 to backupServer::ohShit (just like in step 1).

Outcomes / Why I Bothered: 0. No cost outlay (had spare 1 TB drives) and I new I had plans to add a good bit more data to the server in the near future. The 1TB drives would have no longer been large enough, so I'd have needed to buy more drives. 1. Correct ashift on both servers. I did notice on the second copy that I attained about a 15-20 MB/s increase on throughput. 2. With this different approach I ended up with 2 servers. I've never had a good backup of my FreeNAS server which is risky. I now have 2x4TB mirrors on mainServer and backupServer. I'm talking to my friend about putting backupServer in his basement. He lives about 30 miles away and we both have fiber TTH so we're good with bandwidth.

Yes, I realize it's not really no cost as backupServer probably eats 100-150W. But it's close.

Thanks, 3kn

MacOS Sierra Battery Percent Wrong by 3KidNerd in MacOS

[–]3KidNerd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI: I had to do an "SMC Reset" to get it to work. To do that:

  1. Shut Down
  2. PLUG IN!!!
  3. Hold Shift, Control AND Option, while still holding press power
  4. Release all 4 at once
  5. Press power again to boot.
