    Question on ZFS recovery scenario

    Thanks for the explanation! I ended up doing your scenario of an export/import with only some disks missing by trial and error last night. Do you have any idea why upon import some of the drives on the new controller were not recognized properly? I had a long string of numbers instead of the...

    Question on ZFS recovery scenario

    Please don't take this as too snarky, but I'm aware RAID is not a backup. That said, if I use this array to backup 12TB of data, I don't want to have to recreate it. Like I said, my knowledge of ZFS is extremely limited. Can you point me towards the best way to name the drives before creating...

    Question on ZFS recovery scenario

    Thanks, I realized after I should have exported the pool first, doh. I actually disconnected the new controller and rehooked up the old one hoping to go back in and export properly, but for whatever reason, I could not get OpenIndiana to finish booting successfully, so I decided to tinker...

    Question on ZFS recovery scenario

    Hi all- Although I have quite a bit of experience with software raid on linux using mdadm, I am not as comfortable with ZFS. I am currently running a RAIDZ3 array on OpenIndiana using ZFS. I recently got a new LSI controller and decided to swap it out last night with my older Supermicro PCI-X...

    Looking for advice on new HD controller

    Hi all- I'm looking for some advice on a new HD controller that would be good in both a Linux (Ubuntu currently) and a OpenIndiana ZFS environment. Here is some additional background: This is for a home server environment. I have a Ubuntu box running multiple MD arrays in a Norco...

    Looking for advice on WHS

    OK, with passing the disk straight through I am getting 5MB/s on average which is an improvement, but still slow. Any other suggestions?

    I did not pass the disk straight through. I will look into trying that, and keep you posted. Thanks!

    Looking for advice on WHS

    So I just tried copying a folder to WHS on the VM, and I'm only getting around 3.5MB/s on average transfer speed. Any ideas on improving this?

    Looking for advice on WHS

    Thanks for all the replies... Just wanted to provide an update...I decided to give it a shot running WHS in VirtualBox as a guest on an Ubuntu OS. I decided to keep things relatively simple and created two RAID1 arrays in mdadm (2x1TB, 2x1.5TB). I used a bridged network connection so WHS...

    Looking for advice on WHS

    This is directed to all the WHS experts out there.. I am currently running a number of linux RAID6 boxes, and one OpenSolaris ZFS box so I am familiar and comfortable with setting up a home storage server. I also have a spare older Intel server board with dual 32 bit Xeon processors, a...

    Deleted every partition on my WHS and need help getting back on my feet

    From his earlier posts, I got the impression he wanted to be able to reinstall a RAID set easily in the case of a PC failure. A RAID created in mdadm can be remounted on any hardware that will run a compatible version of linux. This allows for a ton of flexibility in case of hardware failure...

    Deleted every partition on my WHS and need help getting back on my feet

    I'm not sure why you're defining a "proper" Raid solution as hardware based. Mdadm software RAID under Linux is a fully mature RAID solution that can be deployed using a wide range of components. ZFS also offers a great feature set including its version of software based RAID. The OP...

    Need help with Server/NAS build

    I could be wrong, but I believe that fmadm is a Solaris specific utility. As a result, I don't think you're going to find it in FreeBSD.
