Does anyone make a cheap raid card?

Inexpensive raid card no. Inexpensive HBA card, yes.

and if we're forced to do Lan, we should be able to trunk some ports together to get higher throughput no?

Yes, you would likely use 10GigE connections too, since no switch is required.

So I figured it out. Just like most every other problem I've had, it was something stupid I did. I initially started with a user "john" and set up permissions but decided later to use "jhooks". I had accessed the shares with the "john" username first and that's why some worked. I never added the jhooks username to samba (must have forgot since some shares were working) and that's why I couldn't log into the other shares with that username.

That will teach me to try to do this stuff on Friday night when I'm tired.

Well worse things have happened, it could've been a client outage 🙂

We just bought four new blades with 1TB of RAM. And we buy tons of equipment all the time. Ain't nobody got time to put in RAM!

They pay you to much to even install the blade, let alone the RAM on the blade.

Well, someone gotta put it in. And that's the smarthands in the DC.

exactly - again you cost to much to do that work... I'm salary - and sure, while my time could be spent better doing other things, I'll take my own prerogative in these rare cases of getting new hardware 😉
