Hi Bob,
Why did you swap the Areca for the Atto? Did the Areca not live up to your/their expectations?
Just curious, thats all.Marc Bostrom

Hi Dave,
Thanks for responding…. I hope we can get to the bottom of this.
“1. Are either / both of those Maxtor drives “boot” drives that have the operating system installed? “
One disk is a clone of my system drive, WD-Velocirptor, which is installed on the new machine with 10.5.8 – running without problems. The WD is also a disk I moved from the old system.
The other is a data disk with different production elements.Both disk are GUID Partition Table.
Maxtor 7V300F0 Media
Serial ATA 22. Are the drives formatted together as a RAID? If so, what kind of RAID (RAID 1 or 0)? If so, is a RAID card involved in either computer (either Apple’s RAID card or otherwise)?
No.
3.You’re connecting the drives internally, right? (As in using Apple’s built-in hard drive sleds inside the computer to plug the drives directly into the motherboard?)
Yes. slot 2+3 – Tried moving them around. No difference.
The sleds are longer on the new machine. Really irritating that Apple changed this.My only thought are that the Maxtor disks are not compatible with the new generation of mac’s. But why?
I have connected the disks to the old machine and moved the data through the network. So my problem is not HI priority….But still, I am curious to know why?

Hi Tyler,
At our facility we do backups like this:
Files are stored online on a raid5 system until the project is done.
We copy the files to a mirrored set (caldigit S2VR Duo) with a program that does checksum (ex. copy cloner)
We take one disk home and leave the other at office. We do this to comply with insurance requirements.
To keep a record of all offline data we use DiskCatalogMaker (comes bundled with Toast).
You can also export a pdf. of the info as documentation for production staff.
We rotate our disks every 12 months, as we see this to be sufficient. We have not yet had problems. But as a note, we use enterprise disks.
It works and is inexpensive.
Good luck!Marc Bostrom

Hi Morten,
I live just around the corner… We have tried Meta-Lan and we are currently working from a shared AFP system with 3 seats. Give me a call and I’ll show you how it works at our place.

is it on one system …or multiple?
Cabling could be an issue…have you looked at this possibility?Marc Bostrom

Hi Bob,
Thanks for your reply. You know… I don’t mind pushing the button, I just want to know why.
I know you, small-tree and others recommend turning flow control on. And I trust the information.
But, I just want to know why….Earlier today I found this:
“An example of where Ethernet flow control might be used appropriately is at the edge of a network where Gigabit Ethernet attached servers are operating at less than wire speed, and the link only needs to be paused for a short time, typically measured in microseconds. The use of Pause frames to manage this situation may be appropriate under such circumstances.
Unfortunately, Ethernet flow control is commonly misunderstood. It is not intended to address lack of network capacity, or end-to-end network issues. Properly used, Ethernet flow control can be a useful tool to address short term overloads on a single link.”

Be aware the article is 10 years old…This makes sense, and explains it superficially…
I’ll keep on pushing the button…but I will search for more info on the subject.Marc Bostrom

Hi…
Walter writes:
They volumes just show up like local drives on the computers.Question:
Is this a OSX mount or a special part of a “share system software”?As far as I can see the Maxx system is a hardware solution and does not involve any “share” software. Is this correct?
