    FreeBSD ZFS NAS Web-GUI

    I'm not sure if this or the thread about 4k disks in ZFS is best, but let's try here! I'm trying to create the pool in ZFSGuru to make use of the gnop 4k alignment and then import it into Solaris Express 11. I boot with the ZFSGuru LiveCD, create the pool, and then export it with "zpool...

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Shot him a mail to confirm this seemingly bizarre paypal payment address. Thanks!

    *Official* Norco data storage products thread

    Does this seem sketchy to anyone else? I contacted Norco sales through their ipcdirect.net site about shipping charges on multiple items, and I was contacted by "NORCO Mike" from a gmail address who clarified and offered to send me a proper invoice via paypal. I said sure, and when the paypal...

    HD suggestions for ZFS?

    Huh - I'd never thought of that. That's a pretty swanky trick, though I'm not sure if it's for me. I'll probably go with the 6-disk raidz2s, so I can add 4 sets of vdevs over time to fill out the case. Thanks for the input, sub.mesa!

    HD suggestions for ZFS?

    Oh! I didn't realize once the pool was created with ashift, Solaris could still use it. Good to know, thanks. Any thoughts on disk config?

    HD suggestions for ZFS?

    I've got a Norco 4224 sitting next to me with a bunch of empty HD trays (read: they're all empty) and whenever the motherboard arrives (an X8SI6), I'm going to be putting it together and throwing Solaris or some derivation thereof on it. I don't have an immediate need for all 24 drives, but I do...

    Native ZFS on linux!

    http://github.com/behlendorf/zfs Still all sorts of stupid licensing stuff to work out I imagine, but it ought to be much better than the FUSE port! edit: Nevermind, there's an entry in the FAQ: What about the “licensing” issue? In a nutshell, the issue is that the Linux kernel...

    Thoughts on my new ZFS machine?

    Nice, thanks for the feedback guys. This is why I didn't hit the buy button. =) I'm really glad that I was wrong about those PCI-X cards. I was uncomfortable with older tech. I'll swap them out for the suggested pair of AOC-USAS-L8i. I'll definitely hop up to 8gigs of ECC RAM as well. I...

    Thoughts on my new ZFS machine?

    After procrastinating for more than a year, I'm finally putting together my storage machine. I'm either going to run OpenSolaris if I can stomach using Solaris again or I'll just go back to the comforting land of FreeBSD. The machine itself will be our home fileserver, doing the usual lifting...
