He's back and doing an upgrade... If anything watch 4:00 - 5:45 or at 12:50 ;)

Now THAT is a guy that could use a Mac and a QNAP.

He's all over reddit bragging about his FreeNAS skills.



Dear god. I made it 2 minutes in until he said you have to do raidz with a specific number of disks. He really thinks you can only do 3 disks in raidz1....and he has people that listen to his suggestions? And he said that the chipset doesn't support PCI any more? Wtf is his logic...

 

[Mirfster]

Ahh, but you have to see his made skillz in gui at the 12:50 mark.

 

[pirateghost]

I can't make it that far

Is that where he agonizes over what to name his pool, already having used raidA, raidB, and raidC, and then after about a minute, he comes up with raidD?

That and how he just can't get it through his head to drag the drives to one row in order to get a RaidZ option.

He told you he was tired, but was compelled to do this video anyway. ;-)

Let's be fair here.

That god damn button that you have to drag horizontally or vertically in the god damn volume manager is among the stupidest things I have ever seen in my life, and a man cannot be faulted for having no idea what its logical functioning is. I surely had no idea how that button worked for, what, at least my first 3 months of FreeNAS. There's no tooltip on the subject, nothing in the docs, and it defies logic. And I have a Ph.D. in math, which means, I should have this whole "logic" thing wrapped up.

So, yeah, I hesitate to fault home boy for not being able to drag the stupid button around to the right spot.

THAT BEING SAID, I certainly wouldn't be making any quasi-expert youtube videos of me obviously not being able to handle the fundamental aspects of the GUI.

K, I'll grant you that. I also agree that before anyone decides to make any video on how to do something they should at least have done a "walk-through" themselves first. But that is the internet for you, at least is it good for a late night laugh.

I find it very disenfranchising that your signature does not include any classic DrKK work. Such as this....or something else.

:)

 

[Mirfster]

You are correct and it has been remedied. :)

I'll enfranchise you with my signature. I was disappointed though that I had some problems with getting it to work with a blinking red gif saying "Classic DrKK Work", and so I settled on Comic Sans font.

Aside from the extraneous apostrophe (which is only on IRC, sir), I heartily approve of the good taste you are now showing in your signature block. You are a man who knows what he wants, and you choose the best.

Guaranteed to be 20% less humble than the leading bloodthirsty, paranoid dictator!

You guys are really missing the point on this one. His goal was to make a pool with a pair of mirrored vDev's and he was confounded that he ended up with MORE storage than he expected since he ended up with a single raidZ1 instead. But I am honestly surprised he didn't end up just making one big stripe.

After watching the couple little spots and then that I had to turn it off. I don't even know what we could say to this guy to tell him he did it wrong. I guess we can always reference this thread when he shows up on the forums.

 

[Mirfster]

Oh he was here briefly: "Moved zfs dataset, now CIFS is balking"

 

[brando56894]

Oh boo, he removed the video, probably because you guys were making fun of him too much! hahaha

 

[INCSlayer]

ahh i didnt even get to see it :(
can someone cliff notes it for me?
