NexentaCore Platform 2.0 RC2 doesn't seem to provide a manual
partitioning option. This is a big problem for me. What I have:
* 8x500G SATA drives
What I need:
* create a small slice across all 8 drives
* use 3 of those for a 3-way mirrored /boot
* use the other 5 for swap (preferably in RAIDZ1 if that's possible).
* Use one large slice across remaining space for RAIDZ2
Is it possible?
David,
While this is technically possible, running with this configuration is
not recommended as a best practice.
Also, /boot doesn't mean much here. You really need a complete root
filesystem on the zfs root dataset. The root dataset must be on a single
drive or a set of mirrors. Most people dedicate a whole drive (or
drives) to their root pool and then create another pool with remaining
drives for everything else.
Regards,
