[zfs-discuss] Fwd: My blog post about installing ZFS on Debian GNU/Linux posted to the zfs-discuss mailing list
Done and done, to both lists -- Forwarded message -- From: Aaron Toponce aaron.topo...@gmail.com Date: May 6, 2012 7:48 AM Subject: My blog post about installing ZFS on Debian GNU/Linux posted to the zfs-discuss mailing list To: David E. danders...@gmail.com http://pthree.org/2012/04/17/install-zfs-on-debian-gnulinux/ I mentioned that the ZFS on Linux project supports encryption, but that was a bit naive on my part. I was excited that I had it installed, and had heard that ZFS supported encryption natively, but hadn't gotten around to testing it when I published that post. Needless to say, I was disappointed when learning that it wasn't implemented until version 30, and the ZFS on Linux project only had version 28. At any event, I've updated the post to reflect the correct standing of the project. If you wouldn't mind forwarding this message to the list, seeing as though I am not subscribed, that would be great. It would be nice to clear my name, at least a little bit. :) Also, Jim Klimov asks if GNU/Linux can boot off raidz roots. I'm not sure if raidz, as I am using hardware RAID on my workstation, but a ZFS root is bootable with GRUB, I have tested it, and it works fine, although it took a bit of hacking to get it working correctly.

[zfs-discuss] Has anyone used a Dell with a PERC H310?
I'm trying to configure a DELL R720 (not a pleasant experience) which has an H710p card fitted. The H710p definitely doesn't support JBOD, but the H310 looks like it might (the data sheet mentions non-RAID). Has anyone used one with ZFS?

Re: [zfs-discuss] Has anyone used a Dell with a PERC H310?
I am currently trying to get two of these things running Illumian. I don't have any particular performance requirements, so I'm thinking of using some sort of supported hypervisor, (either RHEL and KVM or VMware ESXi) to get around the driver support issues, and passing the disks through to an Illumian guest. The H310 does indeed support pass-through (the non-raid mode), but one thing to keep in mind is that I was only able to configure a single boot disk. I configured the rear two drives into a hardware raid 1 and set the virtual disk as the boot disk so that I can still boot the system if an OS disk fails. Once Illumos is better supported on the R720 and the PERC H310, I plan to get rid of the hypervisor silliness and run Illumos on bare metal. -Greg Sent from my iPhone ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Using a hypervisor layer is our fall-back position. My next attempt would be SmartOs if I can't get the cards swapped (the R720 currently has a Broadcom 5720 NIC). -- Ian. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
