Re: [zfs-discuss] separate intent log blog
Hi, what is necessary to get it working from the solaris side. Is a driver on board or is there no special one needed? I just got a packed MM-5425CN with 256M. However i am lacking a pci-x 64bit connector and not sure if it is worth the whole effort for my personal purposes. Any comment are very appreciated -ah This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

So your MM-5425CN doesn't fit into a PCI slot? Any comment are very appreciated How did you obtain your card? -- albert chin ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] separate intent log blog
Adolf, Yes, there was a separate driver, that I believe came from Micro Memories. I installit from a package umem_Sol_Drv_Cust_i386_v01_10.pkg. I just use pkgadd on it and it just worked. Sorry, I don't know if it's publicly available or will even work for your device. I gave details of that device for completeness. I was hoping it would be representative of any NVRAM. I wasn't intending to endorse its use, although it does seem fast. Hardware availability and access to drivers is indeed an issue. 256M is not a lot of NVRAM - the devive I tested had 1GB. If you have a lot of synchronous transactions then you could exceed the 256MB and overflow into the slower main pool. Neil.
