You may not be able to find a disk that small anymore. 1TB is about the smallest available now. I use a pair of these as data disks, and a pair of SSDs for the OS. The SSDs are faster than rotating disks, of course. I get the smallest SSDs I can find. That is about 120GB these days. > Of course I need to replace the bad disk. > > I want to reduce the size of the boot disks anyway and totally avoid > having any data but OS on them.

You can certainly start by replacing the bad disk with a 1TB disk. Then, you can replace the other one. zfs will do all of that easily.

I'd recommend larger data disks and smaller boot disks, both mirrored. This may not be possible, depending on how many disk slots your case has. There are brackets that allow two SSDs to fit in one slot. Still, you'd need three slots. > Will it be possible to transfer the boot bits to the new 250 GB? I've never done that. There is a way to transfer the boot device to a new device. I recall that was safe and fairly easy, but I haven't done that for a while.

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] Nvidia graphics driver on Hipster 2020.04
I have managed to install NVIDIA-Solaris-x86-396.24 it is not for the faint hearted but the result on the EVGA GTX1060 is promising. The output seems fast, giving a 120 Hz refresh on a wide Samsung 43 inch screen. problems so far is an intermittent boot error on xserver. Robert On 10/05/2020 19:20, Stephan Althaus wrote: Hello!

[OpenIndiana-discuss] Concerning replacing mirrored boot disks
Setup Running a couple months old OI update I use simple mirrored pairs for yrs now. This is not a commercial operation or even a very serious homeboy HOST. I had a disk failure some time ago that is one of the mirrored boot disks. I have yet to fix that. They were a pair of 700 GB disks I had on hand so used them for the boot root disk pair some yrs ago now. They are now a bit old and may be hard to replace with matching new disk . . . (Hope this doesn't all just sound like gobbledy goop) ... Because of the hefty 700gb size for root OS and boot bits, overtime I've allowed data filesystems to creep onto them. Of course I need to replace the bad disk. I want to reduce the size of the boot disks anyway and totally avoid having any data but OS on them. So, first off I will get the extra FS off of working boot disk. (I currently have plenty of room) So wondering a bit about how to proceed from there. I think I'd like to replace the bad disk with new 250 GB HDD. Assuming the data on the remaining boot 700gb disk is smaller than 250 gb, (In the actual case it will be a good bit smaller and only contain OS) will the silvering of new smaller disk work? Will the 700 GB and 250 GB be able to pair that way? Will it be possible to transfer the boot bits to the new 250 GB? And finally: Once able to boot from the new 250 gb, I would then replace the other 700 GB with another 250 gb that matches the first. Thus ending with a matched pair of 250 GB disks holding OS and boot bits. Is that process even possible in the way described? ... Or ... Would I be ahead of the game by exporting all but root FS Replacing the 700gb disks with pair of new 250s and reinstall from latest OI release? ___ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
