rather short-sighted. What if you want to replace the CF with a
bigger or faster one without shutting down?

Assuming that you are using zfs root,
Err... I think you guys are talking cross purposes here. Either I'm missing
the point completely, or are you not aware that the Thumper2 includes a flash
storage slot so the OS doesn't use any of the 48 disks any more?
No, it's not mirrored, but Richard was trying to point out that it's likely

I appreciate that this is quite a substantial work. Just off the top of my
head, each member of the RAIDZ has to have the same boot block information,
then as you bring the RAIDZ up you have

In general, I agree. However, the data does not necessarily support
this as a solution and there is a point of diminishing return.

What do you mean about mirrored vdevs ? RAID1
hardware? Because I have only ICH9R and opensolaris
doesn't know about it.
No, he means a mirror created by zfs.

He means that you can have two types of pool as your root pool:
1. A single physical disk.
2. A ZFS mirror. Usually this means 2 disks.
RAIDZ arrays are not supported as root pools (at the moment).

Hi,
Using the opensolaris installer I've created a raidz array from two 500GB hdds,
but the installer keeps seening two hdds, not the array I've just made.
How do I install opensolaris on raidz array?
Thanks!
