The problems seem to be mostly with the PATA controller that's built in. 
Regardless, Marvell no longer offers the 9123. Any vendor offering cards 
based on it is probably using chips bought as surplus or for recycling.


I spent some time going through the past news about various motherboard 
vendors delaying new products because of the PATA issue. According to 
the Marvell PR there seems to be no issue with the SATA side of the 
chip. Other than that (and the possible PCIe x1 scaling issue with SATA 
III) there should be no problem with the card itself.


However, the card does not work in OpenSolaris yet because of:

If these 6 Gb/s controllers are based on the Marvell part I would test them

The Marvell 88SE9123 was the troublemaker, and it's not available
anymore. The 88SE9120, 88SE9125 and 88SE9128 are the fixed versions.

Exactly how does build 105 translate to Solaris 10 10/08?  My current 


There is no easy/obvious mapping of Solaris Nevada builds to Solaris 10 
update releases. Solaris Nevada started as a branch of S10 after it was 
released and is the place where new features (RFEs) are developed. For a 
bug fix or RFE to end up in Solaris 10 update release it needs to match 
certain criteria. Basically, only those CRs which are found necessary 
(and this applies to both bugs and features) are backported to S10uX.

 Hi
 
 I am currently running a ZFS home server and want to add more disks. However 
 my motherboard only has 4 SATA ports which are all used as follows:
 
 Onboard SATA1 : Boot disk
 Onboard SATA2 : ZFS Disk 1
 Onboard SATA3 : ZFS Disk 2
 Onboard SATA4 : ZFS Disk 3
 
 I wish to purchase a 4 port SATA PCI controller card (StarTech.com 4 Port PCI 
 SATA uses the Silicom Image SIL3114 Chipset) to accommodate an extra disk in 
 the following configuration:

Avoid the SiL3112 and SiL3114 chipsets (I did throw mine SiL3114 based 
PCI card away).

[zfs-discuss] sys_mount problem

2006-09-12 Thread Vladimir Kotal

Hello,

I'm trying to set ZFS to work with RBAC so that I could manage all ZFS
stuff w/out root. However, in my setup there is sys_mount privilege
needed:

- without sys_mount:

vk199839:tessier:~$ zpool list

- however with sys_mount:

vk199839:tessier:~$ zfs list |grep testfs
local/testfs 9K   191G 9K  /local/testfs
vk199839:sier:~$ ls -ald /local/testfs/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root sys2 Sep 12 19:15 /local/testfs/
vk199839:tessier:~$ ls -ald /local/   
drwxrwxr-x  14 vk199839 sys   16 Sep 12 19:15 /local/

Any idea what is wrong ?

Also, I would like the fs to be created with vk199839:sys and not with
root:sys ownership.
