I run CSMS for SMB in my organization. Not long ago I have lost all my settings. It means that using the web interface, I have gotten empty scan rules for my groups. All computers, actually, were scanning for an empty list of file extensions to scan, meaning no scanning at all. I tracked it…
Not too long ago I have purchased a brand new Hitachi HW100 Workgroup Storage. 14+1 400GB SATA disks, dual-interface, each holding two fiber ports (2Gb/s LC). A nice machine. However, two limitations I have discovered are clouding my day: 1. It supports only Raid0 and Raid5. It will not allow me no-parity Raid, aka, Raid1….

I’ve had some memory corruptions here and there, which would have required I reboot the machine. So far, and it’s been a while, I’m glad to say I had no reason…
