[zfs-discuss] zfs boot / root in Nevada build 101

2008-10-29 Thread Peter Baer Galvin
This seems like a n00b question but I'm stuck. Nevada build 101. Doing fresh install (in vmware fusion). I don't see any way to select zfs as the root file system. Looks to me like UFS is the default, but I don't see any option box to allow that to be changed to zfs. What am I missing?!

Just occurred to me that S10U6 won't support ZFS root install via the GUI either? That will be confusing... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org

Hi Cindy, I googled quite a lot before posting my question. This issue isn't mentioned in the ZFS boot FAQ for example or anywhere (that I saw) on the Opensolaris ZFS pages. Of course I could have read the ZFS Admin book at docs. sun.com... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

[zfs-discuss] Good PCI controllers for Nevada?

2006-09-25 Thread Peter Baer Galvin
Just thought I'd share some recent experiences. I had an Adaptec ASH-1233 PCI controller (based on the Silicon Image SII0680ACL144 chip) in my Nevada build 45 system (a white box PC based on the AMD 3200+ CPU). This system is the backup for my main home server. Using zfs send | rsh zfs receive
