Read on for some screenshots.
I’ve created a new site where I’m posting my various photos that I’ve taken. Most are city scenes and the like but for your viewing pleasure:
Recently this site was featured as #8 on the Storage Monkey’s Top 10 Storage Blogs (non-vendor) site. Please if you’re a storage engineer, work in the storage industry, this is a must join site!

- login to your filer from the console (rlm if preferred)
- toasterA> software update http://{ipaddress}/{version}_setup_q.exe -r
