  1. The failing drive has been swapped and the NAS is now rebuilding the volume. Asustor firmware seems pretty solid, it would seem. It booted right up and automatically began rebuilding without any interaction from me.

  6. Also, glad I checked, the Asusor NAS I own does NOT support hot-swapping the drives per this article. That's fine, I don't mind powering it off later to swap the drive.

  9. One of the drives in my Asustor 4-bay NAS is reporting S.M.A.R.T. errors. The drives are now two years old.

    Seagate Ironwolf has a 3 year warranty so I am having a replacement overnighted for $15 which includes the return packaging and label for the failing drive.

    I am very impressed with the Seagate RMA process.

    When I was setting up my NAS I intentionally bought a spare drive that I can swap immediately. I will do that tonight and let the volume rebuild overnight.

  10. I just loaded up my Rack PC, which is acting as my hypervisor, with 64GB of RAM. Running a memory test right now, though probably not necessary given the RAM is new. Do you guys run memory tests when you install new RAM?

  11. I just did it, I bought another pair of 16GBx2 RAM sticks to max out my rack PC at 64GB of RAM. I have never owned nor used a system with this much RAM….

    What should I do with it? Take over the world?

  12. The combination of minikube, Docker, and Lens make for a great development platform for Kubernetes applications.

    Emulating a cluster on a local machine is fantastic!

  13. It was DNS again. While switching several of my rack PCs over to static network configuration, I failed to set the DNS server for a few of the nodes. This was causing my package upgrade Ansible playbook to fail.

    The characteristics of unconfigured or bad DNS settings is the time synchronization fails and aptitude updates take FOREVER. There's probably some timeout setting I need to define for aptitude.

  14. It's at times like these that I wish I had a 2.5Gb network switch. The Gigabit switch is fantastic, but I always want…more…MOAR!!

  15. Has anyone ever successfully setup a DHCP server in Pi-Hole while Pi-Hole is running as a Docker container?

    Also are there any tips on how to do that while my router is still the DHCP server?

    I’d also like to change the subnet and network IP since the default 192.168.1.x is used everywhere and it always collides with other networks when I try to use my VPN.

  16. Do you ever have to rerun cables that no one will ever see just so you know they’re optimized and organized?

    My too.

    Here’s the result.

  17. The GeekPi 10" 9U rack is adorable and everyone seems to be raving about it on YouTube. I think I must make a desk rack for all the things I have in my office but I think it will require about $600 to do correctly (complete with patch panel, 2.5G switch with QSFP/SFP+ link to the main rack, and lots of Noctua fans).

  22. Interestingly the mount point for the NAS volume in the system also changed when the RAID caching was enabled.

  23. I migrated my NAS from RAID10 to RAID5 since I have two 500GB SSDs which can be used for RAID caching and improve the bandwidth.

    Copying from the backup HDD onto the NAS volume improved from ~113MBps to ~136MBps when I turned on the SSD caching function.
