[zfs-discuss] last thought before switching to ZFS
Hi I have google to fine som info abut ZFS and I found that site hire. I have unraid now and are realy happy whit it. but to January I are going to upgrade my cpu to a 45watt quad core from intel that I are begun to use my server to encode my tv show iso when it on. so now I are begun to learn ZFS in vitualbox. but now to the question it I make a poll whit 4 2TB ind raidz1 can it so be convetet to a raidZ2 or to I nede to start whit raridZ2. my data are only my movies iso and som holiday photos. but I dont like to do the rip one more time whit all my movies. and som will call me paranoid now but I also copy my data 1/1 to a HDD and pase it out site my home for backup. and one last thing what os will be the best choices for os I can read opensolaris are not going to be maintenance. will it be just solaris ? I are not so much in solaris but can it ben buy whit out monthly support =$ -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

You will need to start out with raidz2 if that is where you intend to be. A pair of 2GB external hard drives configured as a zfs mirror is a great way to temporarily store your data while you are transforming your main storage pool. but I dont like to do the rip one more time whit all my movies. and som will call me paranoid now but I also copy my data 1/1 to a HDD and pase it out site my home for backup. and one last thing what os We are all paranoid here. will be the best choices for os I can read opensolaris are not going to be maintenance. will it be just solaris ? I are not so much in solaris but can it ben buy whit out monthly support =$ Solaris is not going away and it seems that Oracle plans to support Solaris Express at least until stable Solaris 11 is released. Oracle is not the easiest to deal with. It may be that OpenIndiana will work for you and be sufficiently liberated that you can trust it without dealing with the Neanderthal Oracle contracts organization. Another option for zfs is FreeBSD, which will soon be offering zfs version 28 and is well supported. NetBSD and OpenBSD will also be offering zfs.

NetBSD has a porting effort, but it is unlikely that OpenBSD will ever have it [1]: * Will ZFS be added to OpenBSD? Not unless someone can convince Oracle to change the license for it to something compatible with OpenBSD policy.
