I admit I haven't been on this forum for years, such is the reliability of my OI 148 server built in 2011. I'm using 3 x 2 TB WD2002FAEX 512-byte sector disks for a ZFS RAIDz1 pool in this and about a year ago, one of these disks failed - I tried fitting a more recent WD2002 disk with 4k sector

I've been trying to export a ZFS share on a OI 148 system to a Linux NFS client system whose root needs read access to all files on the OI box. I've tried variations of the zfs sharenfs command such as: zfs set sharenfs='root=185.198.192.20' data/data zfs set sharenfs='ro=root=1

hinking of using the newer HP N40L microserver with 3 x 4 TB disks (Hitachi DeskStart 7K4000) which have 4096 byte sectors. Can anyone foresee a problem with this? I plan to set up several of these storage servers in mirrored pairs so I want to make sure this will work before ordering anything. Thanks
