Re: [BackupPC-users] NAS

Right, didn't get the diskless part, never try that. Ok, thanks
That's good to know, so you do have a good LAN. hehehe
What can be wrong?
One is crappy raid. Did, or can you, test it with only one disk? I understood raid is automatic when you put a second disk, but I was reading fast.
Don't believe on a NIC matter, and configuration you must have check it a lot.
Try speeds with CIFS/SMB or rsync?
Just my 5 cents over my head... :) but less than 1MB/s is really slow, right?
And maybe with should leave it for another post/subject. This is probably more than David was hoping for :)
I'm starting to think NAS are pretty much black boxes, so I'll go for more if possible (bigger if not) new disks to the server. eSata or USB3 external disks may also be nice possibilities, but those connections are not available on our tough old backuppc servers :)
Still, NAS gives others advantages.

Yep, sure, but as I said, that machine is a diskless machine, so / is
actually NFS mounted from the old NFS server :) hence /tmp is already on
the NFS server. The new NFS (netgear nas) is mounted under /mnt/nas/media.

Yep, me too :)

AFAIK, you only need to upgrade the connections to the PC's that
want/need the faster speeds, plus the NAS device itself (and switch).

Yes, using built-in RAID1
Not entirely sure... I've removed/plugged a drive while it was switched
on, and it seemed to work, but I haven't tested removing a drive, and
plugging in a blank one. I want to get the more basic stuff working
first (like decent performance over NFS).

No, I've disabled all the extras... I just need a NFS server, no extras...

No problem :)
I'm thinking that I should have sprung for the bigger netgear nas, or
else the QNAP one, (QNAP sounded really good, and has a great feature
list... possibly worth it though considering the amount of time I've
wasted so far on the netgear :(
I'm not suggesting the netgear is crap BTW, just it doesn't work for me
yet...
