So as a backup drive only will these be OK set up in raidz1 using OmniOs?, and if there is a lot of data will it take too long to restore let's say 40TB+?

Thank you all for your help, this has helped with having a lot of headaches in the future, so currently the highest internal HDD for NAS use it the 6tb.

I was hoping to use this drive in ZFS raidz 1 or 2, why does it not work, shouldn't archived data not be accessed when required?

Will the Seagate 8tb HDD work in a NAS serving media? I am contemplating to use this drive for my next upgrade, any comments?

Thanks for all your help guys, since the system re-silvered it has been running rock solid now for a few days, thanks to Napp-it and Nexenta, now hopefully updating to OmniOs and Napp-it will go smooth. Any step by step for updating, I haven't done this for a while so... upgrading to OmniOs I...

Thank you omniscence, I am going to see if I can work out whether this related to a hardware failure.

Is this right, would you get 9 drives resilvering while I have only changed one? zpool status: Pool pool: NAS state: ONLINE status: One or more devices is currently being resilvered. The pool will continue to function, possibly in a degraded state. action: Wait for the resilver...

Thank you Gea.

Really weird, tonight I have managed to access the server via Napp-it and it is still showing degraded, see below: pool: NAS state: DEGRADED status: One or more devices are faulted in response to persistent errors. Sufficient replicas exist for the pool to continue functioning in a...

The re-silvering estimated time was 21 hours, I left it for 24 hours and I couldn't access the NAS via Napp-it or via my windows 7 PC. I have re-booted the server and still the same, anyone got any idea how to trouble shoot this issue?

Just re-placed the corrupted drive and currently re-silvering, I will upgrade to OmniOs and Napp it once the silvering has finished, hope it is OK doing it this way around.

Hummm... that was a too early diagnoses I think...it has gone again (see below): zpool list: Pool VER SIZE ALLOC RES FRES FREE CAP DEDUP FAILMODE AUTOEXPAND AUTOREPLACE ALTROOT GUID HEALTH ENCRYPT ACTION NAS 28 41.7T 33.3T - - 8.38T 79% 1.00x wait off off -...

Here I am again, after the great 2 weeks holidays in the Red Sea Egypt, back to work now and after adjusting to work and the daily grind of life I have decided to look at my NAS again and what to do about the degraded pool problem. Quite amazed to see that all is well, my drives and pool are...

Thank you all for all your help, I will get to it as soon as I come back of my summer holidays ;).

Should all the hardware drivers that are currently supported on Nexenta will work as well on OmniOs?
