so you're saying that if i do something like fail a drive, then remove it,
with my controller i'll have a crash more than likely?
I can understand why sas might be better for some stuff but i thought sata
was supposed to support hot swap as well.especially with the controller
i chose...
Don't
The earlier (2008) Opensolaris drivers tended to crash the server if you pulled
out an active drive. It may have improved in later releases.
In the case of the Sun Storage Appliances, the sata (and sas) drivers used are
different from those in Opensolaris and are considerably better featured.
My
It's too late. I ordered 3 AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards.
when you say "better hot plug support" what exactly does that mean. It was
my understanding that the AOC-SAT2-MV8 was the same (or similar) controller
which sun used in the x4500
i know THAT has hotplug support (right?!?!)
the case i used has 20 h
I'd recommend a SAS non-raid controller (with sas backplane) over sata.
It has better hot plug support.
I use the Supermicro SC836E1 and a AOC-USAS-L4i with a UIO M/b.

It does seem to care after the pool has been imported. A few people
have been bit by hardware/BIOS/firmware updates which somehow changes

I'm moving from FreeBSD to OpenSolaris in the next week or so (when the rest
of my upgrade purchase arrives)
One thing i'm curious about is whether or not ZFS cares about changing
device names.
In FreeBSD I always used glabel to prevent this issue. Does solaris have
something similar? Is it eve
