Hi Erik,
I wasn't planning on using the 3Ware hardware RAID as I read that software RAID would be the way to go, I just have the cards for the fact I can plug 8 drives into each. I can't return, I got them used from a guy who did not know what they were used for for $50
Hi Jason, I spent months trying different O/S's for my server and finally
settled on opensolaris.
The o/s is just as easy to install/learn or use than any of the Linux
variants...and ZFS beats mdadm hands down.
I had a server up and sharing files in under an hour. Just do it - (you'll

Hello All,
I build a new Storage Server to backup my data, keep archives of client files,
etc I recently had a near loss of important items.
So I built a 16 SATA bay enclosure (16 hot swappable + 3 internal) enclosure, 2
x 3Ware 8 port RAID cards, 8gb RAM, dual AMD Opertron.
I have a 1tb

Hi David,
Did you pick the chassis and disk size based on planned storage
requirements, or because it's what you could get to build a big honking
fileserver box? Just curious.
I have a 4tb Buffalo Terastation that cannot be expanded further and I am using
2.7tb. Also, I have need to make

One important point to note is you can only boot off
Be sure to read the 3Ware info on their controllers under OpenSolaris:

That said, 3ware controllers are hardly the best option for a

Since they are DIY storage without chassis environment monitoring, I consider
