Get a cheap 5th SATA drive to act as your boot drive, install Solaris on that,
and then let ZFS use the whole of the remaining 4 drives.
That gives you performance benefits, and it means it's very easy to recover if
your boot drive fails - just re-install Solaris and zpool import the raid
Hi there,
I'm currently setting up a new system to my lab. 4 SATA drives would be turned
into the main file system (ZFS?) running on a soft raid (raid-z?).
My main target is reliability, my experience with Linux SoftRaid was
catastrophic and the array could no be restored after some testing
