@Joyfano
Day is only about 3 hours in here,..Reading local news, water has been such an issue here.. We have a bit much,.. mud slides closing roads, taking out homes and a church. And we are expecting rain the next three days.
I'm lucky enough that we are on 'high' ground. but I think we are looking at about 7inches total accumulation this month so far.

@g.jacobse Sounds like you are pretty busy at that new job of yours

Why is that under moderation? Were there a ton of posts that were removed? Also facepalm indeed.

The place I may be taking a Job at is using Raid 5 in two or three NAS devices. Granted it's utilitarian storage for things like IT installs/software that don't need to be one the multiple EMC Sans they have.

Doesn't look like it based on time stamps. But CMs make odd choices anymore.

Working on an older whitebox server that was here before I got here. It was randomly rebooting so it has been sitting in our rack doing nothing for the last couple of years... not a bad little box, two 128GB SSDs in RAID 1 and two 2TB HDDs in RAID 1. Plus 16 cores and 32 GB of RAM.

Mostly training and researching. the planned firewall is a bust due to hardware issues. pfSense wont run on it it would seem. I know I can fall back to a Ubiqiti Router,.. but I was hoping to use pfSense. -
@coliver potent little box

Yep, reinitializing the RAID arrays right now. The SSDs were done in probably 20 seconds... the big drives are going to take a bit longer. I'm not sure why it was crashing yet, I narrowed it down the the RAID controller as it was performing wonderfully when I just had the SSDs hooked up. Right now going on 4 hours of no reboots with the RAID card installed in a different slot before it would reboot every 7-15 minutes.

@thecreativeone91
I used a d-link one from Amazon.
I think it's the PC itself. it's ooooold. Optiplex 330..
It's sitting on a screen after boot:
F1-pfsense
f5-drive 1f6-

hmm I've ran it on a 330 I think. a Dell Opitplex 745 is my UTM right now. Make sure you used the 32bit version on the optiplex 330

Yikes, PSU tested good?

Wish I had a way to test it at the moment. Nothing on hand. Recommend any good testers?

No idea. I posted asking that but, of course, was moderated so it didn't go up to find out.
