    zfs compression on child folders in napp-it

    I'm using napp-it and want to enable compression on a share drive / VM server. If it's enabled on the pool (named tank in this case), is it also enabled on the child zfs datasets? Logic says yes, napp-it says no and I could use a bit of clarity. NAME RDONLY USED AVAIL COMPRESS...

    napp-it gui - drives not listed

    I have the same issue as dsumike. Could it be something as simple as too many characters between the starting 'c' and the following 't'? for example, these are my 6 disks: c10t5000CCA01A92E495d0 c5t5000CCA01A92E4C9d0 c6t5000CCA01A93E805d0 c7t5000CCA01A93E339d0 c8t5000CCA01A9428ADd0...

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    Ahh! missed the part about where to install SSLeay. Once that was installed things worked perfectly!

    When you use dd to identify disks, are you identifying the dd'd disk by sound? Also, how do I know if a disk goes bad? Is there a way to email error reports?

    As a way to save a little bit of money on a home setup, would a Silicon Image SiI3124 based card work well hooked up to a 3gb last gen ssd for an OI boot drive? I'm looking at using a c202/c204 mb with a xeon e3 cpu with the onboard sata used for 4 wd green drives.

    Intel Xeon E3-1220 for storage servers

    @danswartz another thread is saying the the 3gb/6gb are not on separate controllers. which mb are you using successfully or how can I check if they are on separate controllers or not?

    How do I confirm they are on the same controller? I don't have the hardware to test.

    I did. Thanks for confirming this works.

    c204 based motherboards like the supermicro X9SCM have 2x 6gbps and 4x 3gbps sata ports. is it possible to pass through the 3gbps ports to OI and use the 6gbps as a boot drive for esxi?

    I think my problem was conceptualizing file systems. I wanted all the ZFS goodies and thought I'd lose them by formatting a guest with ext. I realized that this isn't an issue in the slightest--I can retain all the neat features of ZFS with no penalty.

    Intel Xeon E3-1220 for storage servers

    I'm thinking of using the X9SCM in an esxi configuration. My drive needs aren't huge and budget is a concern. With this in mind, would it be possible to use a 60gb ssd on the 6gbps controller to install esxi on and then pass through the 4gbps controller? I recognize I'd only have room for 4...

    Would I be able to keep a small partition for the Linux OS and then mount a native ZFS NFS share on top of it?

    So I'd format the OI with ZFS and then when install Debian on top of that it's ok to format the vm as ext3/4 or whatever? To me it seems unelegant.

    OpenZFS NAS (BSD, Illumos, Linux, OSX, Solaris, Windows + Storage Spaces) with napp-it web-gui

    I'm a little confused on this step: Would I be able to install a vm of Debian on the nfs share? That's what it looks like but what do I do when linux asks to format the drive?
