Yeah, if you could, we would really appreciate to know!

OK, I understand your interest ;-)

As performance of the unit is not so quick, filling 250GB will take me a little time.
I will start a try to use full capacity and keep you all informed.

Already tested: formatting, force checking disk structure and filling 5-6GB, seems OK.

I will launch a filling this night and will keep you informed.

Cheers, John.

No NO NO , you don't need to fill the drive up for this test. That would be a waste of time. Sorry if there was a miss comunication.

You just need to go to look at the disk utility from the web interface. It will report the capacity. Or from debug (http://snapaddress/config/debug) "co de info" Will give you the info we seek.

David,

I am sorry, I had totally missed your point.

Please find below, the disk information given by Snap under Web Administration.
Total: 233,970 MB
Free: 230,425 MB
Files: 4,323

As said before, I take the brand new HDD from box, wired it in a PC (without any jumper configuration, it is delivered CS by default).
Then, boot PC with Knoppix.
Plug an USB key with snap1000.bin in it.
dd the image following the procedure given.
Unplug from PC and plug in Snap.
Reboot, at this time, given size was 30GB with disk unusable.
Power off, do the reset trick with buttons to clean all settings.
Reboot, when unit become accessible, go in debug mode and "config devices format 10000 /reinit"
Reboot, disk light is full during one hour or so.
When unit becomes accessible, it gives me the results above (233,970MB) free space!
So, even if my fill test is not really necessary I will cross the 137GB, just to see if there is any problems.
I will keep the forum informed about my results.

Cheers, John.

If it is showing as 250gb ish, then it is

I can't see you having any problem with puttin more than 137GB of files on it


It also makes you wonder if you were to now upgrade the OS, would you still have the same amount of space.

I suppose if the machine has set it up for 250gb, it must be usable with newer OS versions.....

Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
I'm Sorry, I may not have given enough information.

I have 2 Snap Server 2200s. These both have SnapOS version 3.4.790 with hardware versions 2.0.4 and BIOS versions 3.4.758. These are both functioning correctly using HDDs < 130GB. I am only looking to upgrade the OS in order to enable support for 250GB hard drives. I see that poogles_uk is running a similar 2200 and has successfully used a 250GB HDD in it.

I have downloaded the SnapOS v4.0.860 upgrade from Adaptec and updated the JVM and Sync software on these servers. They will not accept the SnapOS upgrade. As I thought I understood from reading these threads, I first need to upgrade the servers to SnapOS v4.0 and then upgrade to 4.0.860. If this is not necessary to enable support for 250GB HDDs in the 2200s please correct me.

If this is correct, and I need to first upgrade to SnapOS v4.0, could someone please give me the details on how to obtain this or another version of the OS which will allow access to large HDDs. I will happily donate to the cause if I can get these working.

Thank You
David

Hmm

My 2200 has had a panic again....

blue68f100 02-11-2006 03:17 PM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
What is the panic reference too?

You have 2 differnent size and Mfg of hd in it, humm. even though you run JBOD.

re3dyb0y 02-12-2006 05:03 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
It would do it with just the 250gb...

Ill boot it up again, and have a look what the error was

Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Im not sure if it is the Mainboard, as it sometimes doesn't boot....

I may try changing it later

blue68f100 02-12-2006 08:21 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
10000 is the bottom drive. All of the errors are on that drive, which is the boot drive for JBOD. I think you are have a hd failure.

re3dyb0y 02-12-2006 08:57 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Well, the 1000 is my 250gb, its my top drive, plugged into the first IDE slot, and therefore is the boot drive.

It is fine at reading, it is the writing that seems to be the problem....

Just need to find a way to backup that 200GB of data, and then get the drive replaced

Thank god, i got it from a very helpful it place nearby... I suppose when i get the data off, jack it in my pc. and have a alook at the SMART and such

At least its half term the week after next, and im at my dads work which isn't too far away!



I think it'll have to be a WD for replacement, or should i try and get a Seagate 250 instead?

blue68f100 02-12-2006 11:48 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
BACKUP???

The reason I run RAID 1

I've got Seagates in mine, with 5 yr warranty.
But I think Hitachi has the best drive right now, but only 3 yr.

re3dyb0y 02-12-2006 02:07 PM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Hmm

I was meaning, cause some of it is backup from my server, but there is also some files on it that are only on it, due to lack of space!

Sorry for being slow to respond on this, my LT was out for repair.

Not that i'm aware of.
There is a log that is generated on FreeBSD during the boot process. But I don't know how to access from the snap OS. Will try and get back with you.

FTP access can give root access, well, the most open i've found so far.

This is how i was able to get at the Java files

Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Some news for you david

I jacked it into my pc and did some WD tests, and there are loads of bad blocks, i think thats the reason for the write errors

http://i32.photobucket.com/albums/d3...0JBDLGDIAG.jpg


So im taking it back on monday for replacement

Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
God, The last time I was was here was March 2003 - giving instructions on how to upgrade a SnapServer 1000 using OSX - That was like page 2 of the thread! And now it's at page 41. These SnapServers just have too much staying power... which brings me to my question. Would some kind soul direct me to SnapOSv4? I would like to see if it is worth my time to upgrade the Snaps I have.

Thanks.

blue68f100 02-17-2006 09:41 PM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Depending on what you are trying to update. Some don't like the latest. Some can use it, but slows them down. Some don't have any problem. Large disk support can happen with v3.4.805 or v4. Some units can not support large disk.

Was I vague enough.

mgeorge 02-17-2006 10:24 PM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
One of the Snaps that I have -

Model 1000 series (1100 - 40 GB)
Software 3.4.803 (US)
Hardware 2.0.2
BIOS 3.4.758

What's the minimum requirement for large volume support ~ 250 GB?

BTW, your response wasn't any more vague then my original question. :)

re3dyb0y 02-18-2006 02:34 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Im not sure what your asking

LBA-48 bit is 137GB


And i should've thought that that would upgrade, but when david comes back, he'll tell you for sure, as he has a better memory for these sort of things!

mgeorge 02-18-2006 02:59 AM
Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
 
Sorry, I meant that I had a 250 GB drive that could replace the 40 GB that is in the Snap presently.

Anyhow, don't sweat it guys.

After reviewing the list of other projects I have on the go, I've decided to give these Snaps to a buddy of mine and let him play around with them, if he wants.

Thanks for the quick replies.

later,
Mike
