Asus M4N82 Deluxe. I have one running with 2 USAS-L8i cards just fine. I don't have all the drives loaded in yet, but the cards are detected and they can use the drives I do have attached. I currently have 8GB of ECC RAM on the board and it's working fine. The ECC options in the BIOS are enabled and it reports the ECC is enabled at boot. It has 3 PCIe x16 slots, I have a graphics card in the other slot, and an Intel e1000g card in the PCIe x1 slot. The onboard peripherals all work, with the exception of the onboard AHCI ports being buggy in b123 under xVM. Not sure what that's all about, I posted in the main discussion board but haven't heard if it's a known bug or if it will be fixed in the next version. It would be nice as my boot drives are on that controller. 2009.06 works fine though. CPU is a Phenom II X3 720. Probably overkill for fileserver duties, but I also want to do some VMs for other things, thus the bug I found with the xVM updates. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
