Hmm .. the only things that I am doing differently (as far as I can tell) is I
am using the web GUI to issue the commands and I am running it in a VM (using
the pre-buil ones available).
I will try using the command line and see if that makes a difference. Maybe I
wasn't waiting for it to
Hi,
I am new to Solaris, but intrigued by ZFS. I am planning to set up a home NAS
(SAMBA/CIFS on ZFS) with my rough plan being to boot SXDE from an IDE drive,
then set up a single storage pool with 4 SATA drives (2 x 250GB 2 x 500GB) on
a single controller.
My main concerns are redundancy
More info from the same guide, page 59: The command also warns you about
creating a mirrored or RAID-Z pool using devices of different sizes. While this
configuration is allowed, mismatched levels of redundancy result in unused
space on the larger device, and requires the -f option to override

Why would you get a PCI-X card for a home NAS? I don't think I've ever
seen a non-server motherboard with PCI-X. Are you sure you don't want a
PCI-E card instead?
Anyway, if someone is aware of some
Ok I am not an expert - just done some playing about.
Option 1) I have done this - i had 4x300gb disks and one more in the post, i
could not wait to build my raidz2 so i used a 73gb which was spare - what it
gave me was a raidz2 pool of 5x73gb.
The warning is there to ask you if you really want
I use the supermicro 8 port pci-x card, its about 70 pounds in the uk
Works fine on my home nas box which uses the Asus M2N32 WS Pro, which i can use
6 sata of the nvidia chipset giving me 14 usable sata with the solaris native
sata support

Thanks.
I am going to try this (replacement with larger drive) again ... it sounds damn
handy and I am pretty sure I must have done something wrong ...

I finally got this to work, but it did not happen automatically. I needed to
export then re-import the pool to get it to work. Only then did the additional
space appear.
Here is what I did:
- create 4 x 8GB disks and 1 x 4 GB disks
- create RAIDZ pool with 3 x 8GB disks 1 x 4GB
- ignore

It may be less expensive to purchase a new motherboard with 6 SATA

Sure, but which one? I've been trying to find one for many, many
months already, but it has turned out to be impossible to find
Marcus:
I'm currently running the asus K8N-LR, and it works wonderfully. Not only do
the onboard ports work, but it also has multiple pci-x slots. I'm running an
opteron 165 (dual core) cpu with it. It's cheap, and fast.
Oh, one thing. The only downside is the onboard gigE interfaces are the
broadcom pci-e based nic's. They unfortunately do not support jumbo frames. I
doubt this will be an issue for you if it's just a home NAS. In my setup I've
pushed 50MB/sec over nfs and the server was barely breathing.

Thanks, but socket 939 is cold dead and buried. S939 CPUs are very
expensive. DDR is over twice as expensive as DDR2. I can't tell if the
motherboard is expensive or not because I just can't find
