[OpenIndiana-discuss] beagleboard (arm) port?

Hi, I was thinking of building a minimal low performance/experimental zfs filer on a beagleboard ( http://beagleboard.org ) or something similar with a 2tb mirror disk set attached via usb and a serial console. Are there any projects or plans to compile/port OpenIndiana to arm? If no

Whilst many of us would love to see an ARM port of OI and illumos, it's not even on the cards yet. OI is more oriented to bigger systems and there is a considerable amount of effort to slim it down and port it to ARM. Have you considered a mini-itx or pico-itx board? They would likely run OI (ass

It's generally accepted that two things can break a ZFS pool: the use of non-ECC RAM; and storage devices which do not respect cache flushes. You're aiming for a system which is likely to have both. The latter by virtue of the fact that most USB <=> SATA controllers often don't respect sync request

Good stuff fellows; thank you. How bad are the failures resulting from non-ecc and missing cache flushes? Can they put the pool into an unrecoverable state, or is it just a risk of dropping a minute's worth of writes or something like that? Again, this is a home archiving system with requi

As long as you don't plan on using dedupe and the caching and non-ECC RAM issues can be sorted, NexentaCore might be more suitable for a project of this size -- but definitely with AMD Geode, Intel Atom, or other comparable low power x86 hardware.
