Default Re: Snap Server 4200 replaced drives how having issues

Bitor,

I was going to do that, but there is still some good info under all of the heated discussions. But I have access to some info you do not have, is the reason I did not delete the whole thread. And like Andy said, it was not directed at him till he made it his, it was aimed at a different user all together.

Like Andy, I get upset at times when people come here ask for help. If they came here ask for help tells me they did not have a solution to their problem. Then say it did not work and every thing I said was wrong. Normally we get feed back as to what happen and what they did. Every time something fails we get more info to help diag the problem. In a lot of cases they skipped a step not thing it mattered. Then the second time it worked.

As for HD's working in a GOS (current) unit, the limit currently is interface limited (IDE) and SATA. The SnapOS has limits but it's running on 10yr old technology. Now some work better than others. But with the right mfg disk utility you can correct interface issues. Sometime it just a simple jumper change.

I believe I was the first to take a GOS unit (4500) with no HD's and build one out. And I did it with HD's that were larger than anything Snap shipped. So don't tell me it can't be done. I did it without any outside help. Plus I have info that has not been released publicly. I have given a few select the info and that's all.

I've been dealing with computer hardware and software for over 30 yrs. And when someone tells me that it's a software problem and knows his hardware has a problem, He's need to move on. If he's in the IT business he needs to change professions or go back to school. I know of know way to test software if the hardware is not working correctly.
