Thanks for the continuing flow of information. I already have all of the
equipment. I'm actually upgrading my main computer to a new Core 2 Duo setup
which is why this hardware is going to the file server. I think I'm going to
try a 64bit install using the four 500GB drives in a RAID-Z config
I would personally avoid the P4 chip. They are power hogs and will cost you
more money in the long run than getting a low-end core 2 duo - which should be
faster and not much more money. Make sure you keep power consumption in mind
when you pick up a power supply and video card too. The always o
Onboard RAID solutions actually do all their work on your CPU, so you won't be
using that for anything if you use ZFS. You just want them acting like regular
SATA controllers.
Just run the Solaris hardware compatibility thinger (google it), or compare
your hardware to the supported hardware
With b62, he can do ZFS mirror for root in addition to the raidz for the
data but it would still require a second root drive...

How do you configure ZFS RAID 1+0 ?
Will next lines do that right? :
[b]zpool create -f zfs_raid1 mirror c0t1d0 c1t1d0
zpool add zfs_raid1 mirror c2t1d0 c3t1d0
zpool add zfs_raid1 mirror c4t1d0 c5t1d0[/b]

I'd recommend getting a second 80GB disk and mirroring your root as well.
UFS+SDS for root (don't forget a live upgrade slice) and ZFS for the other
disks.
Probably RAID-Z as you don't have enough disks to be interesting for doing 1+0.

Sorry about that, the specific processor in question is the Pentium D 930 which
supports 64 bit computing through the Extended Memory 64 Technology. It was my
initial reaction to say I'd go with 32 bit computing because my general
experience with 64-bit is Windows, Linux, and some FreeBSD. Gen

The original thought was 3 of the drives as storage, and one of the drives as
parity. So that would yield around 1.4TB of useable storage. I hadn't given
any thought to running 64 bit. This system is being built from the ground up.
I guess in the back of my head I had assumed it would be 32
