Just curious, what will that flash contain?

My recommendation: buy a small, cheap 2.5 SATA hard drive (or 1.8 SSD) and
use that as your boot volume, I'd even bolt it to the side of your case if you
have to. Then use the whole of your three large disks as a raid-z set.
If I were in your shoes I would also have bought 4 drives for ZFS

If you have enough memory (say 4gb) you probably won't need swap. I
believe swap can live in a ZFS pool now too, so you won't necesarily
need another slice. You'll just have RAID-Z protected swap.
Really? I think solaris still needs non-zfs swap for default dump

How do you manage redundancy
Hello,
I plan to use (Open)Solaris for a home file server. I wanted cool and
quiet hardware, so I picked a mini-atx motherboard and case, an AMD64
CPU and 4 GB of RAM. My case has room for three hard drives and I
have chosen 3x WD 750 Green Power hard drives. The file server will
serve out via

The reason for using a whole disk is that ZFS will turn on the drive's
