I'm a Mac user who can get around the terminal pretty good but I'm running into some snags. I'm currently using an Ubuntu server with an EVMS RAID 5 setup to back up my Mac and also hold a ton of stills I shoot for timelapse photography. I'm about to upgrade my server to 4 750GB drives so I figured I'd give ZFS a shot since it's so much simpler to administer.
I downloaded SXCE R72 a couple nights ago and I can get it installed using the Solaris Express option. I've played with zpool, created some RAIDZ volumes etc. My problems come when I try to install the Solaris Express Developer Edition. I get the error, "Installation Failed, Solaris installation did not complete normally". When I install the Solaris Express option and then install the Developer Tools from the DVD using the install_devtools.pl script and reboot then Solaris won't boot anymore, it gives an error right after Grub. I didn't write down the error so I don't have it. Is the Solaris Express Developer Edition option in R72 bogus? I'm assuming I need to download the 05/07 Developer Edition? I'm needing the developer tools (called Sun Studio?) so I can get GCC and compile netatalk for Apple Filing Protocol support. Is there any other ways to get GCC installed. One more question. Can someone explain how the disk naming convention works? Take C1T0D0P0 for example. C1 = Controller 1 T0 = I don't know what this means. D0 = Disk 0 P0 = I don't know what this means either.
