That was actually me talking about svm :)
What would be the ideal zfs layout for 15 disks if I want 13 disks
worth of space usable? I hear 5-6 disk zpools are the largest
recommended due to peformance or something. I'd be willing to go with
n-2 for "dual parity" essentially.

Hey Will,
I would use a zfs mirror (in fact, i do in production), rather then
a SVM mirror. It's even to the point now where the installer will
make the mirror for you (atleast on nevada, don't know about indana)
Also, to respond to Ross, there was a vary good post here a while
back indicating that adding "set sata:sata_auto_online=1" to /etc/
system made the device come online as soon as the port was
activated, I have been much happier with my raidz2 array since
adding that.

Wow, thanks for the quick reply. I will look to see the dBA for that
PSU. If it's low enough, I'll go with that one.
I'll be using an Athlon 64 that has lower power requirements, a mobo,
a PSU and a boot drive. So total will be 16 drives + CPU/mobo/RAM +
PCI-X card + optical (as needed) + fans. I have this mobo/CPU/RAM
combo already at home now running snv_94 + ZFS and it works well and
is pretty quiet. Current config:
Case: Antec P182
Mobo: Asus M2N-SLI Deluxe Aud/2GbLan/SATA/RAID/1394 ATX
CPU: Athlon64 X2 Dual Core 4450e 2.3GHz 2x512k 45w Retail
RAM: 4GB(2x2GB) DDR2 PC6400 800MHz Matched Pair Kingston
Optical: LiteOn 20A4P 20x IDE DVD+/-RW
Video: Asus GeForce 8500GT 512MB TV-Out/DVI Silent Edition
Boot Drive: Seagate 320GB 16MB cache IDE
PSU: CoolMax PS-V500 500W
6x Seagate 1TB 32MB cache SATA2
CPU Cooler: Zalman CNPS9700 19.5dBA heatsink/fan
However I only have 7 drives total in that box if I recall + optical.
I didn't figure I needed to shop for a special-needs PSU for that one.
However for these larger disk quantities I wanted to make sure I could
do it all :)
This time around, I can use a SATA boot disk (or two, if the PSU will
support it and mirror it using SVM?) since I will have the extra
onboard SATA ports. The current config I used only onboard SATA ports,
so I had to go back to IDE for my boot disk.
I plan on using the same config above (Mobo/RAM/CPU/Video/Optical/CPU
Cooler possibly too)
