Can anyone comment on access disruptions when running "isi smb" commands? I want to set "isi smb settings shares modify --change-notify norecurse", but I don't want to disrupt any active SMB connections. I'm _hoping_ this will help with Finder refresh issues and SMB mounts. Not holding my breath. TIA

10Gbit ethernet Fast & Secure NAS | ||||||

Hi everybody, Please, I need some advices about our plan to update our NAS to handle 4K. We will need at least 100TB on RAID 6. It will be accessed by 6 post-prod workstations equiped with 10Gb NIC & 10+ other workstations with 1Gb NIC. We target to get (very) fast SMB transferts but not real-time, that's why I'm talking about fast NAS rather than SAN solution, all important workstations has its own local storage. We've found a 36x4TB SAS storage with hardware RAID (ARC-1880). The server will be a supermicro with SAS host and a dual 10GBit NIC teamed. We also planned to buy a NetGear ProSafe 10Git switch. Still wondering about: - The OS to use: Windows server 2012, Open-e, FreeNAS,Nas4free? The current NAS is driven by Win2003, it is pretty stable but performance could be better with big images sequences. Does SMB3 on Windows server 2012 could solve this? The storage we find is certified with Open-e but I have still not found any advice on Open-e in a postprod environment...? - Does SSD cache worth it? Any OS handle it well? Any advice is welcome.

| Hi, I vaguely recall some talking about a either a Finder replacement or a Finder refresher type deal. Would any one be kind enough to point me in the right direction? Was it Finder Refresher? If so, any one try it in Mavs? I see that indeed the Finder bug is still present in 10.9.2, what an absolute buzz kill. - Brian SoCals #1 Sandpaper Superstore. More Grit For Less Green. |

| Hi all, I have a single node in my isilon cluster that is not responding to nfs requests. SMB requests are just fine. Anyone know if there is an easy way to just restart the nfs services on a single node while I wait for support to call me back on a Sunday? I guess the other option is to just fail that IP over to another node for now but that seems extreme. Thanks -Kevin B.

| Hey we have been looking for a replacement for our old Avid Unity (7 editors). With all the shared file system products out now we have been very interested in StorNext with Strawberry. The plan would be to replace our Unity with a StorNext system then grow it to include playback for our Scratch systems as well (3 Suites). Does anyone out there have any experience with the StorNext product in an Avid environment? I would be very interested in the pros and cons of this experience and how it might compare to us just replacing our Unity with a new ISIS system for now. Any info is welcome.

Hi guys,
Anyone know of a good place in the Northeast that does render node/computer workstation rentals? We're based in Boston and currently use Bell Computers in California, who are fantastic, but we'd like some local options in the event we need day turnarounds (and not have to pay for shipping from the West Coast). We primarily use Nuke, Maya, and some After Effects. Any recommendations out there?

Thank you for attending the Quantum sponsored RoboCop screenings in Montreal, Toronto & Vancouver. We were very happy with the turn out and we hope everyone had a fun time while learning a little bit about Quantum's StorNext 5 Appliances, automated LTFS archival workflows & Lattus Object Storage. We are planning to host similar events this year - please let us know how we can make these fun too. Check out this video of the next generation StorNext animation/VFX workflow at Digic Pictures - they've eliminated islands of storage and leveraged StorNext for both real-time playback performance for video editorial, dailies & finishing together with unlimited Distributed LAN Client for render and compositing. To learn more about what we launched at NAB, please visit our M&E Site with Quantum's new StorNext Pro Solutions including 4K Playback & Automated Archive workflows: http://www.stornext.com/

http://www.sony.net/SonyInfo/News/Press/201404/14-044E/index.html 148GB per Inch on a tape vs LTO6's 2GB per Inch The problem I have is not that I need larger tapes to hold more data.. but that I need more drives (running concurrently ) to shrink my archive window. How about a cheaper drive? or a drive that can write faster to tape :) Then again we do not max out a consistent state what a single LTO6 Drive can do writing to tape... anyways.. I like the cheaper drive idea better, so I can have more of them... -S |

It is widely rumored that Amazon Glacier is based on tape libraries. I find that in the specific case of commercials, there's a sharp falloff in the likelihood of a project having to be restored after about a year: most of the data we archive
is never brought back. But no one is ever willing to (or has the time to) determine that "OK, at this point this project will never come back, we can just throw it away". The economics of tape a hard to beat in the context of "we need a medium that allows
people to not make decisions".
