Hi Raion,

yes likewise, I have non SGI machines providing: NFS, CIFS, Rsync, AppleTalk & Time Machine backup for Macs.

I have mostly used Octane lately to provide rsh server for network IRIX Install and IRIX software collection nfs, but now I have Fuel I think maybe I will use it for this purpose and just rsync back to Octane to make sure my IRIX software collection is is being protected with some degree of automation and regularity.

Next for Fuel is:
 - 1. get new Snapcat timer chip, see if this helps with the issues I am having with L1 comms (as per this thread: https://forums.irixnet.org/thread-2477.html )
 - 2. possibly reconfigure storage on Fuel so it has / on disk with U160 interface and /usr on SAS3442X with SATA and then use it as IRIX boot server

Glad this thread has come to happy end ;-)

Cheers from Oz,

John.
