Thanks for that info

turbodude - Can you post your Server #?

Geek - The bios version sounds wrong, can you check it for me?

Added to the wiki btw

Geek_Ed · 10-09-2006, 01:09 PM

BIOS version is correct, that is the version that is listed on both the 1100 units I have. Both are newer units (they have "SnapAppliance" on the front of the case), and I have discovered they won't run any OS lower than the BIOS version number.

re3dyb0y · 10-09-2006, 01:14 PM

Hmm

Not even like 4.0.830...

Strange

Geek_Ed · 10-09-2006, 01:45 PM

Didn't try, but I did try a couple different flavors of version 3.x

Ended up buying another working 1100 and copying an image of it, from the factory it was OS 4.0.855 and BIOS 4.0.855

re3dyb0y · 10-09-2006, 01:54 PM

Oh

Well

You cant just downgrade from V4 to v3

Period

Its a limitation or something built into v4

OzDave · 10-10-2006, 07:12 AM

I just installed 2x750GB drives and tried to set for one large (striping) disk and it won't format. Should this info be added to the wiki? ie drive configuration.

From the log I have:
10/10/2006 8:07:42 307 I D[80040000] | File System : Formatting /dev/rspan0
10/10/2006 8:07:42 307 W D[80040000] | File System : Preposterous size -1379733760
10/10/2006 8:07:42 307 W D[80040000] | File System : mkfs failed!!! Error = 5
10/10/2006 8:07:42 307 W L01 | File System : Format terminated unsuccessfully

I replace 2x300GB disks that were configured as one large disk. That was working fine.

The configuration is:
Snap Server 2000
SW: 4.0.830 (US)
HW: 2.0.0
Bios: 2.0.282

I am tempted to try 4.0.860 but I fear that it won't work either.

blue68f100 · 10-10-2006, 07:27 AM

It's the magic number that keeps showing it's head with the 4000's. That is a number between 1T & 1.2T, which is max the OS can handle.

Since this is a 2x00 this tells me it's a OS restriction, Not hardware.

OzDave · 10-10-2006, 09:00 AM

It seems like the code is using a signed integer rather than unsigned.
Signed integers can only store values up to 2147483647. I am not sure what the number is being used for, but the value '2915233536' stored in a signed integer becomes negative (-1379733760), and thus bogus to it.
:-(

OzDave · 10-10-2006, 09:07 AM

Checking the net, the file that may be being used is:
http://mirror.sese.asu.edu/pub/OpenB...n/newfs/mkfs.c
it uses an int (fssize) to store the size of the file system, this means that it is limited to 2147483647 blocks. If I knew the block size, we could calculate the maximum capacity of a snap server.

street price, ~$220 each, my price @ Frys $89! (the invoice says 632A but the drives are 633A)

maybe need to upgrade fan.

Cool. This bugged me, so I opened it up and took a drive out. My invoice says 632A but the drives are 633A 7200.9

blue68f100 · 10-25-2006, 07:32 AM

You got a better, newer model drive then. Which uses less power and runs cooler. Both have a 5yr warranty.

Could say what drives you have gone from to?

dandrews · 11-12-2006, 01:26 PM

yes... went from the original Quantum Fireball Plus 30 g drives to Megnetic Data Technologies (mdt) 250 g drives. Model MD02500-BJBW MDT are low budget drives but I have used them as system drives in desktop systems with no issues, so I thought I would give them a try here. So far so good.

G'day from Australia,

Just picked this unit up from eBay, AUS.

All seems to work well, I have already upgraded RAM to 256Mb and have plans to upgrade to 2 x 250Gb+ drives in the not to distant future.

Great site, keep up the good work.
