Yeup, the Xsan forum is the place for these questions.
Just to tie up a few items:-[Kevin Monahan] “Yes, you really need a metadata controller. It doesn’t need to be as fast as the Xserve RAID though”
The speed of the XServeRAID has nothing to do with the speed of the MDC. A G5 preferably a XServe is recomended. Xsan is also quite RAM hungry and I don’t know why but the Ram in a Xserve suits the job better. It will also depend on how many clients you intend to have.
You only need two ethernet connections if you want non-metadata traffic as well. The Xsan metadata needs a dedicated network to itself. So if you want to browse the internet, install a second card or use wifi. Because of the low data rate , you can probably get away with running the RAID admin on the metadata network. – I only look at mine on powerup and when something is wrong!

I’ve got more or less the same system, however I’m doing 10bit SD.
With capture now it has to allocate the disk space so that FCP can write the info into a predefined area. I get a delay of about 10seconds before capturing – HD would have larger file sizes and therefore take longer. likewise after capture. With capturing from a deck, I would imagine it takes the disk space calculation from the in & out.
Thats my basic knowledge of problem.Also capture now can lead to problems when you come to slomo.
I’m using 10.3.8 so it still happens!

Steve,
It was me that suggested your two posts should be removed as I think you will agree they were a cheap shot.
I’m not a moderator on this forum, but my location gave me a few hours headstart over most of the other readers.
Your next post, which Matt has answered is the way to show your beef – put some facts down and see what you get as a reply.Peter
