Hello all, I've been thinking about using an OpenSolaris fileserver for my home network. There are several things which are important to me in this situation and I'd like to know how ZFS handles them. I've been reading the ZFS Administration Guide from Sun and I've looked over a few of the wiki pages available here and on Sun's site but I am still by no means an expert.
So, on to my questions. First, does RaidZ support disks of multiple sizes, or must each RaidZ set consist of equal sized disks? Secondly, can you add disks to a RaidZ set after it's been created and added to the pool? Thirdly, for a relatively low usage pattern such as a home fileserver, is > 1GB of RAM really necessary? Lastly, I saw that ZFS supports exporting via NFS -- my home environment is mixed, so is ZFS able to export in Samba as well as NFS or do I need to configure the Samba server myself? That's about all I've got for now.
