Max disk limit on F740?
by Öberg Mats 01 Mar '00

01 Mar '00

Hi, I have some questions about the maximum amount of disk allowed on the F740. Is it a hard limit on the total disksize or the useable disksize? ie. do you count the hotspares? The 1TB limit: is it 2^40 or 10^12? or some other fixed number? ----- Mats Oberg / TietoEnator Sweden

RE: Running du's

You don't have to set a rediculously high quota limit to track disk and file usage you can use a dash (-) in the /etc/quotas file for any item that you wish to track without imposing a quota limit. Then run quota report to see the disk/file usage for all users that you wanted to track. Thus you would end up with a line in your quotas file like this: #target type disk files * users - - which will track disk and file usage for all users w/o worry about imposing a quota on them. This link provides a good explanation: http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel53/html/sag/quota1.htm Hope this helps!

Yes, and since quota report counts all files on that quota tree (or volume), it doesn't necessarily give you the information you're after. For instance, if you want to move a directory tree from one quota tree (or volume) to another, you have to run du to know its size. The problem remains, as far as I know.

Concerned about quick EOL for 9 gig drives
by Thomas Leavitt 29 Feb '00

29 Feb '00

Hello all... we're in the final stages of purchasing a NetApp F740 to host our Sybase (or Oracle, eventually) database on. The device will be populated with 18 gigabyte drives, to balance # spindles with total storage capabilities. At the moment, the 36 gigabyte drives don't look to be appropriate to our needs or cost-effective. However, I'm concerned at the relative speed with which the 9 gigabyte drives were EOL'd and then became unavailable for sale. Is there a scheduled time-frame for EOL on the 18 gigabyte drives? Should I specify 36 gigabyte drives, just to be safe and have a reasonable time frame for continued acquisition of the same type of drive? Thomas P.S. Thanks to everyone who responded previously to my query about people's experience running databases off a NetApp... I'm confident now that this is a feasible solution, and that the benefits are pretty compelling. The last obstacle is simply arranging to actually demonstrate this working in a test environment, before going forward. -- Thomas Leavitt -- thomas.leavitt(a)clickrebates.com; 408-591-3342 (cell) Co-Founder/COO, ClickRebates.Com, Inc.

Howdy- If it is any comfort to you, NetApp knows about this problem (and can reproduce it in their lab). Bug 13364 was opened for me on 3-10-99 for this exact problem. I've pretty much given up on getting this mostly cosmetic problem fixed (though perhaps I should celebrate it's anniversary), so we tell people to use the magic of grep. Respectfully, David N.

RE: Sharing Files through cifs

If you set options cifs.home_dir /home in you /etc/rc file, each user should be able to map directly to their account. This is what we are doing and it works very well. Makes it nicer for the user and much simpler to administer and a real NT server. From the man page on options: cifs.home_dir When set to the pathname of a directory, this defines the path to the ``homes directory''. The directories under this path should have the names of users as their names. When a user connects to the filer using CIFS and there is a directory name that exactly matches the user's lower-cased Windows login name, they will see a share of that name (truncated to 12 characters) that is their ``home directory". Only the user can access the home directory using this share. All other users cannot see the share name since they are logged in under a different user.

You can set an option called the CIFS Auto Home Share. In your case you would type options cifs.home_dir /vol/vol0/home Then as long as the cifs users' username match the directory name they will be able to individually map drive H: to their own share .... net use H: \\filer\username You can get more information on this feature by looking at the NOW web site http://now.netapp.com/NOW/knowledge/docs/ontap/rel534/html/sag/cifs12.htm Hope that helps. :-----Original Message----- :From: bhaskar.g(a)philips.com [mailto:bhaskar.g@philips.com] :Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2000 8:53 PM :To: toasters(a)mathworks.com :Subject: Sharing Files through cifs : : :Hi all, : :I have a query regarding the sharing of files using CIFS. : :I have all the unix users' home directories on the volume :/vol/vol0/home.

Bhaskar, Yes, you can share the user directories separately. It can be done from the console prompt, FilerView or from the Windows NT Server Manager. This can be a bit hard to manage and decrease throughput if you have a lot of users, though. Even if the individual user directories are NOT shared, you should still be able to specify a direct path as \\filer\username. -----Original Message----- From: bhaskar.g(a)philips.com [mailto:bhaskar.g@philips.com] Sent: Sunday, February 27, 2000 8:53 PM To: toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: Sharing Files through cifs Hi all, I have a query regarding the sharing of files using CIFS.
