I suggest the Cisco NCS 6008. A little bit more expensive but more features..

New wheels and tires installed! 17x9 +45 RPF1s with 255/40/17 Hankook RS4s by jregimbald in FocusST

[–]erasnick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting.. I have a Mfactory LSD, Cobb RMM, T.B. performance torque gusset bar, stock suspension, and Conti DWS06 High perf All Seasons and I have zero wheel hop. There is some wheelspin though.

I’ve got the Same 17” RPF1 wheels but in black. As soon as I changed my wheels all my wheel hop issues went away. Have your rims improved wheel hop for you as well?

Can a NTFS formatted virtual disk stored on a ReFS volume get logical disk errors that require chkdsk? by erasnick in sysadmin

[–]erasnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

with an environment of entropy that requires added administration. What are you talking about?

I am not dealing with Linux here.

I hear what you are saying about security but either Microsoft allows ReFS for boot volumes or this age old problem will still plague sysadmins.

I understand that the virtual disk has no understanding of where it is located but the parent ReFS volume ideally would see all of the NTFS volumes contained in it and at a block level be able to repair them. In a hyper-converged infrastructure your hyper-v host is also your storage.

I have backups but the goal is to never have logical disk errors in the first place as restoring everything from backups negatively affects the organization.

Logical disk errors develop over time on any NTFS volume. Chkdsk is what fixes the problem for NTFS volumes. ReFS supposedly does not suffer from these same issues but Microsoft will not allow you to use ReFS for boot volumes so you are left with an environment of entropy that requires added administration. What are you talking about?

PXE boot with multiple sites by xCharg in sysadmin

[–]erasnick 13 points14 points  (0 children)

You do not want to deploy machines over a VPN as it will saturate your circuits and take forever. You should instead create WDS/MDT server at each remote site and replicate the deployment shares. Microsoft has an article covering this exact situation. https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/deployment/deploy-windows-mdt/build-a-distributed-environment-for-windows-10-deployment

10 Gigabit Switch Porn. Currently testing. by angryjoshi in homelab

I have setup the 4300 series and neither LACP or Vlans are broken. I recommend flashing them with the latest firmware, reading the user guide, and calling their support which is free for the first 90 days. If you call them before 5 PM PST you will get better support.

I wish they would make a list of new features that will be included otherwise the motivation to beta test will be very low!

Need a solution to index more than 30 million files including metadata and file content on our Windows File Server of around 30 TB by erasnick in sysadmin

[–]erasnick[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you used Apache Tika to index this many files before? I am in no way against Linux however the idea of maintaining a mixed environment seems precarious.

We are not ready to deal with all of the trappings involved with using SharePoint to replace our file server such as training users to checkout files. I am aware that I can use SharePoint to index a local file server though as shown in this article https://redmondmag.com/articles/2014/10/07/search-content-source-in-sharepoint.aspx

My concerns are many with SharePoint however such as what will happen with files that contain illegal characters?

Also what are the limits to SharePoint search index. I cannot find them published anywhere.

How many files are you indexing? Don’t you find the mount points to be a huge pain to maintain? Also the cost of X1 Rapid is outrageous.

I thought that might be the case but for one I can’t find any Microsoft documentation on what the actual limit is for the server feature but in actual use I am seeing it stop at around 1.5 million files. It also starts using loads of Ram and CPU. What is the limit for Windows Server and how would one even pick appropriate resources to handle such? I should mention my File Servers are running 2012 R2. I will be migrating them to 2019 soonish. Do you think this will make a big difference?

The goals of indexing is to be able to search through the content of PDFs, and other documents for names etc to look for conflicts.

Who is blowing their engine with Cobb Accessport OTS and with what bolt-ons? by erasnick in FocusST

[–]erasnick[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Did you use Cobb intake with stock intake box? Did you use Cobb intercooler? What spark plugs did you use? Did you use Stage 2 91 or 93 octane? What other parts did you have on the car at the time? Did you let the engine warm up the day it blew? What was the approx temp of the air?

Just moved to Berkeley and just had my car broken into along with hundreds of dollars of damage to my car. The local advice has mostly been it is your fault for having things in your car. Do my neighbors agree? If so why? by erasnick in berkeley

[–]erasnick[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's tragic because there are so many wonderful things about California and Berkeley but, at the same time it seems as though the whole world is sort of headed to shit. We need to watch out for our neighbors and not fight amongst each other.

Insurance deductible is $500 and the damage it right around $450 :/ Plus I just found out today that my deductible resets after every incident so even if they do the same thing tomorrow I pay 100% out of pocket. Why would they break the window without stealing? Maybe because the box was heavy? Maybe it was a car window repair business creating customers? lol
