This post is deprecated by this one. World, please meet tape01, the newest addition to my home lab, and reincarnated from an old server. These are the screen shots of the Dell PERC 6E card BIOS configuration. But for the record:

Oh! There’s my missing tape drive!
Yesterday and today, none of my Bacula copy-to-tape jobs completed because my tape drive was missing. Today, I reseated all the cables, and power cycled the tape library. In my ssh session, I did this: $ sudo camcontrol devlist <ATA TOSHIBA DT01ACA3 ABB0> at scbus0 target 2 lun 0 (da0,pass0) <ATA TOSHIBA DT01ACA3 ABB0> at scbus0 target 10 lun 0 (da1,pass1) <ATA TOSHIBA DT01ACA3 ABB0> at scbus0 target 11 lun 0 (da2,pass2) <ATA

tape01 – old server; new purpose
This is tape01, the server to which the DELL TL4000 will be attached. At one time, it was my gateway/firewall/router. Of interest is the SAS card. You can see photos here. $ grep mfi /var/log/messages Dec 30 14:48:02 tape01 kernel: mfi0: <Dell PERC 6> port 0xd000-0xd0ff mem 0xfbec0000-0xfbefffff,0xfbe80000-0xfbebffff irq 19 at device 0.0 on pci3 Dec 30 14:48:02 tape01 kernel: mfi0: Using MSI Dec 30 14:48:02 tape01 kernel: mfi0: Megaraid SAS driver Ver

Replacing a failed drive in ZFS on FreeBSD
I’m using FreeBSD 10.2-RC2. One of my new hard 3TB drives was acting up. I removed it and sent it off to be replaced. In the meantime, I received some 5TB drives and I added one of them into the existing vdev of the zpool. First, I partitioned the drive much like the other drives in the system. In my case, this was: $ sudo gpart create -s gpt da0 da0 created $

World, please meet varm, the newest addition to my home lab. Some of the hardware has been described in an earlier blog post and not all of the hardware has been installed. But for the record:
New server build – the parts list
NOTES: All prices exclude taxes and shipping, unless otherwise specified. When a price indicates delivered, it includes delivery and taxes. All prices are in USD. Yes, it’s time to build a new server because my current backup server is running out of space. This server will be used for more than just backups. What else, I’m not sure, but the servers it will replace also does these tasks (sorted by my estimate order

For future reference, this is the slocum server, which I use for various jails and services. The filesystems, well, some of them: And dmesg:
