Tom,

If you can be a little flexible on time, Solaris 11 Express is scheduled to be released before the end of the year. It will be a fully supported production quality release.

Hi,

I am trying to upgrade my 2009.06 system to use raidz3. The issue is the 
production version of 2009.06 only has zfs version 14 which does not have 
raidz3 (needs version 17).

After searching for a while it seems the best options are to:

1) Upgrade to a development version of opensolaris such as 134
2) Covert to linux and use zfs-fuse
3) Upgrade to one of the forks of opensolaris such as illumos

The issue I have is all of these options are "development" implenetations 
today. This may be just a home box, but when I switch to nine 2TB drives, I want the 
stability of a production environment because zfs is my main data repository and I only 
backup a key subset of files from that 10+TB server.

Does anyone have ideas or recommendations on how to best install a production 
level environment with raidz3?

Thanks!
Tom
