    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    I'm talking about installing TO a USB stick - as in the USB stick is the operating system drive, not installing the operating system FROM a USB stick to a drive.

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    Actually it is a show stopper. I don't have any other ports to add a system drive. So unless I install to USB, I would have to use one of the the eight 2TB drives. OI recommends mirroring the system drive, and also recommends using the whole drive for install, rather than partitioning. I...

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    I'll probably just back off to FreeNAS. It loaded fine, and I really don't want to spend a lot of time figuring out why OI is giving me grief.

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    Well, I finally got my new power supply today and I built my system. w00t! But... I must be really tired. I can't get OpenIndiana to install on a USB stick (16GB). The install routine keeps telling me that it is unable to mount rpool. I did some googling on it, but I'm not having luck. Ugh. :(...

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    You guys rock. Thanks! I checked out napp-it, and frankly I'm having trouble believing that it is that simple. :eek: I've got a new power supply coming to support all the drives. As soon as it comes in, I'll fire up OI and napp-it and let you guys know how it goes. Thanks again.

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    Thanks guys for the resounding vote for OpenIndiana. I have to admit that I don't know the first thing about OI (or SE for that matter). One reason I was going with FreeNAS was the simplicity of the implementation. I'm no linux/solaris guru. Anyone point me to a good implementation guide for...

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    Thanks PigLover! I'm thinking I might go with the 4+2 RAIDZ2 and then set the last two drives in a mirror (for that small amount of data that I just can't lose)... but then again the 6+2 is very tempting...

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    Thanks. I'm not set on anything but the hardware. (It's already sitting in the other room.) My reasoning for FreeNAS is the variety of formats/protocols/interfaces to the storage that it provides in an easy to use/configure bundle. I guess what I'm looking for are the pluses and minuses of the...

    Long Term Storage Solutions

    If you want real longevity you should go with punched cards! (just kidding) Seriously though, I read an article recently - I think from the archival specialists at the Library of Congress - where they tested in a very scientific manner (over my head) all sorts of optical media. From the...

    n00b Questions about NAS/ZFS configuration

    OK, through a series of unfortunate (and fortunate) events, I've ended up with a NAS box with the following hardware: Gigabyte GA-880GA-UD3H Mobo 8GB of RAM (2 x 4GB DDR3 1333 CAS7) Phenom II X4 840 3.2 Ghz CPU Intel EXPI9301CT Gigabit NIC (PCI Express 1x) 8 x 2TB Samsung F4 Hard Drives Corsair...

    A little love for USB3

    I just had to post some love for my new USB 3.0 external enclosure. I can't believe how fast this cheap enclosure is with USB 3!! 130+MB/s! This is to a Rosewill RX35-AT-SU3 ($25) enclosure with a Samsung Spinpoint F4 2TB 5200rpm drive in it. That's faster than my RAID 0 array with 7200rpm...

    Hardware recc'd for 10TB ZFS Guru System

    That's pretty sweet Spankit. I wouldn't have expected that kind of throughput from "salvaged" parts. What motherboard do you have? I'm curious to see what chipset it is.
