Thanks, sounds awesome! Pretty much takes away my concern of using ZFS!

I have a chance to pick up a system at a reasonable price built with an AMD
FX8120 8 core 3.1 GHz on a Gigabyte motherboard. Is anybody runing with this
combo? Looking for info from an actual user. Thanks.

I thought they stopped making 11 Express available when 11 went out?

Please ignore this post. Bad things happened and now there is another thread
for it. Thank you.

I installed a Solaris 10 development box on a 500G root mirror and later I
received some smaller drives. I learned from this list its better to have
the root mirror on the smaller small drives and then create another mirror
on the original 500G drives so I copied everything that was on the small

Hello Bob! Thanks for the reply. I was thinking about going with a 3 way
mirror and a hot spare. But I don't think I can upgrade to larger drives

That's not funny. I was actually considering this :p
But you have to admit, it would probably be somewhat reliable!
Has there been any change to the server hardware with respect to number of
drives since ZFS has come out? Many of the servers around still have an even
number of drives (2, 4) etc. and it seems far from optimal from a ZFS
standpoint. All you can do is make one or two mirrors, or a 3 way mirror and
Hi ladies and gents, I've got a new Solaris 10 development box with ZFS
mirror root using 500G drives. I've got several extra 320G drives and I'm
wondering if there's any way I can use these to good advantage in this
box. I've got enough storage for my needs with the 500G pool. At this point
