| Hi all, So I received a download link from Crapson and low and behold, I see a v17 lic server! Could it really be a new improved license server? Hope some one has tested. I will be soon. - Brian A good day is when no one shows up... and you don't have to go anywhere." |

| Hi folks, My google-fu is failing me: maybe 2 or 3 years ago I saw a product at NAB that was a 2U or 3U drive docking solution. There were 4 docks (iirc) and each one held an 8-pack (or 6-pack?) of 2.5 drives. The enclosure of these drive-packs was really just some sheet metal with a handle, holding the drives in the correct spacing. Youd shove the brick into the dock, and then presto, those 8 drives presented themselves (as a RAID volume, I presume, but dont really know). Overall the setup was pretty compact, actually. Anyway, I couldnt find anything like this any more. Maybe theyre gone now, ahead of their time back then. At the time I wasnt really looking out for anything like this. Now Im looking for some kind of multi-drive brick+docking solution, and of course I cannot find it or remember the name, and frankly my recollection of the details of that product are pretty hazy. Does this ring any bells? Thanks in advance, Antoine To unsubscribe from the list send a blank e-mail to mailto:studiosysadmins-discuss-request@studiosysadmins.com?subject=unsubscribe |

Isilon - cut/paste folders between quota protected
paths fails. | ||||||

It's a feature apparently, but I'm wondering if any isi users out there a) have this issue and more importantly b) have a neat solution or hack. This cluster is OneFS7.1.0.6 (pre zone as directory) With a quota set on both these paths pathA = /ifs/A/B/C/source PathB = /ifs/X/Y/Z mv PathA PathB does not work. but mv PathA/* PathB does (provided there's only files in <source>) As there is a quota set on both of these locations, I'm told by EMC that OneFS cannot precompute the new quota totals so it wont permit the action. Has anyone out there come accross this issue and know of a workaround? (other than the obvious "write a script") Julian FirmingerSnr.

According to: And related to that, some models don't even take SFP+ modules, only twinax cables:http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/pro100/sb/CS-030612.htm Intel Ethernet SFP+ SR Optics and Intel Ethernet SFP+ LR Optics are the only 10-Gbps optical modules supported. These modules can be purchased separately. Other brands of SFP+ (10 Gbps) modules are not allowed and cannot be used with these adapters. http://www.intel.com/support/network/adapter/10gbe/afdadualserver/sb/CS-029097.htm |

The path of libVray.so (on Linux) is hardcoded to be in the maya's bin folder (only for the Bifrost extension). I have reported this as a bug and they are aware of this now. It didn't make it into the latest release and I haven't checked recently wether or not it's fixed in the newer nightlies. - JimmyOn Mon, Sep 14, 2015 at 2:31 PM, Peter Nepp <content@studiosysadmins.com> wrote:
