Found another cPanel application which you can safely turn off in order to safe some bytes and cycles.

By default dcpumon runs every 5 min to log CPU usage ("top" output) :

and stores the data into /var/log/dcpumon

You can view the report with dcpumonview command:

Two methods:

1. Using regedit:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Lsa
"LimitBlankPasswordUse"=dword:00000000

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa
"LimitBlankPasswordUse"=dword:00000000

2. Using Local Security Policy:

Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Local Security Policy (run as system administrator)
Local Security Policy -> Local Policies -> Security Options
Set "Accounts: Limit local account use of blank passwords to console logon only" to Disable

Short tutorial on how to connect, format, mount, detach and reconnect external USB disks.

The used disk is WD20EARS connected to a USB port via Sharkoon Quickport Pro cradle.

Basically, you need only two commands:

• rmformat – to determine the device name/path
• zpool – to do the rest (create ZFS, mount, attach and detach)

The bottom line – Sweex PU202 (eSATA PCI express card) based on Sil3515 chipset is not supported by nv_125.

Both cfgadm and prtdiag see that there is something in the slot:

"format -e" does not see the disk connected to that card.

Given:

• QNAP TS-439 Pro NAS with 4 x WD20EADS in RAID-5
• eSATA/USB Sharkoon QuickPort Pro SATA cradle
• WD20EARS
• 1.7TB data on RAID-5

Guess, how long will it take to back up 1.7TB of mostly big files to a directly connected eSATA disk using standard GUI commands?
