We graph CIFS and NFS server operation rates (using the least significant 32-bits of the SNMP counter) and connected CIFS shares. -----Original Message----- From: Jason Truong [mailto:JasonT@plumtree.com] Sent: 15 September 2003 23:32 To: Sto Rage !; Ziller, Frank; toasters(a)mathworks.com Subject: RE: filer-mrtg (filer.mrtg.tar.gz) What are people monitoring on their NetApps with mrtg? Just curios cause I only use MRTG to graph the network traffic. I did think about using it for CPU/disk space but I currently use Nagios for that.

RE: Running Postgresql with db on Netapp

Hi Aditya, Is it possible to install a Gigabit adapter in the *BSD box and filer? That alone will probably give you a good performance boost... Switching to udp probably won't improve things, but using Gbe and jumbo frames will do wonders.

NFS performances with Samba server ?
by Frank Bonnet 15 Sep '03

15 Sep '03

Hi Due to lack of Samba PDC support by Netapp filers I use a Samba server working with NFS on a Filer. That is Windows clients access to users's data thru the samba server. I need to boost a bit NFS access from samba server to Netapp filer, actually I use NFS over TCP and I wonder if using it over UDP will accelerate a bit ? Any infos / tricks welcome PS : the filer is plugged to the LAN over a Giga-ethernet link Thanks -- Frank Bonnet Responsable Reseau et Sytemes UNIX Groupe ESIEE Paris

FOREIGN EXCHANGE DEPARTMENT. AMALGAMATED BANK OF SOUTH AFRICA NORTHERN PROVINCE REPUBLIC OF SOUTH AFRICA I am the manager of Bill and Exchange at the Foreign Remittance Department of ABSA BANK.I got your email adress while searching for trustworthy contries and individuals. In my department we discovered an abandoned sum of $ 105m US dollars. In an account that belongs to one of our foreign customer who just died in Iraqi war in Baghdad.It is therefore upon this discovery that I and other officials in my department now decided to make this businness proposal to you and release the money to you as the next of kin or relation to the deceased for safety and subsequent disbursement since nobody is coming for it and we don't want this money to go into the Bank treasury as unclaimed Bill.The Banking law and guideline here stipulates that if such money remained unclaimed after two years, the money will be transfered into the Bank treasury as unclaimed fund. The request of foreigner as next of kin in this business is occasioned by the fact that the customer was a foreigner and a South African cannot stand as next of kin to a foreigner. We agree that 30 % of this money will be for you as foreign partner, in respect to the provision of a foreign account, 10 % will be set aside for expenses incured during the business and 60 % would be for me and my colleagues. There after I and my colleagues will visit your country for disbursement accoding to the percentages indicated. Therefore to enable the immediate transfer of this fund to you as arranged, you must apply first to the bank as relations or next of kin of the deceased indicating your bank name, your bank account number, your private telephone and fax number for easy and effective communication and location where in the money will be remitted.Upon receipt of your reply, I will send to you by fax or email the text of the application. I will not fail to bring to your notice that this transaction is hitch free and that you should not entertain any atom of fear as all required arrangements have been made for the transfer .

BUSINESS PROPOSAL
by DAVID MUTASA 10 Sep '03

10 Sep '03

Dear Sir/Madam, Difficulties encountered in efforts to establish a business abroad necessitate this search for someone to assist me in securing and investing the sum of USD23, 000.000 (twenty three million dollars) inherited from my father's business reserve. I am the heir of a Zimbabwean family; my father was an agriculturist. He became rich from his old-aged investment in agriculture and later was victimized by President Robert Mugabe's land reform policy. He was assassinated by unknown gunmen for defending his land ownership and siding the minority white farmers. Before his death, my father foresaw the insecurity of both our lives and property then decided to deposit the above sum with a private finance and security firm in Europe. This money has become the only inherited property of our family since our home was burnt, and the farmlands and machines seized; yet the government and it's loyalists are bent on making life difficult for us. To summarise this traumatic story, my mother and I have decided to offer 15% of the above sum to anyone who assists us to secure this funds overseas or 25% share for possible help on investing in any reliable venture. If you would want to proceed under these terms, please reply for detailed information. If you do not accept my offer, please in good fate treat with utmost confidentiality. A quick reply with your name, telephone and fax numbers for more confidential communication will be highly appreciated, To this email box; (davidmutasa(a)netscape.net) Sincerely yours, David Mutasa
