Re: Hack a Snap Sever 1000?
I think the largest tested is 250-300 gig. Nobody wants to be the first with 400-500 and 750 gig drives. While you are doing the upgrade, replace the fan, it's due.
The OS is based on FreeBSD. The file system is suppose to be a Modified XFS with v2 and up. It is such most system can not read it. Generally only another snap.
A user last week said he had talked Adaptec into posting 3.4.805, But that will have to be seen. Check software for the 2X00, 4X00 models. I thought he was working on a 2X00 model.
Pros & cons.......
These are small compact single drive units, no raid. Are not very fast. But in the most part are very reliable.
Depending on which version of the 1000 you have you may need to copy the boot tracks from your working drive in order to do the upgrade. Or the whole drive if you want the data. The early version stores the OS in flashram. For it just install the new drive and setback, it will its thing. The instructions are in the wiki section, which should be up now.
