Re: [zfs-discuss] Rule of Thumb for zfs server sizing with (192) 500 GB SATA disks?

OpenSolaris builds are like "development snapshots"...they're not a release and thus there are no patches. SXCE is just binary build from these snapshots... it's there are convenience only, and "patches" are applied like in every other development project... by updating from source repository,

Thanks Jürgen, I was hit by 6423745 (see below) but the main problem is that /sbin/ zpool is linked to /usr/lib/libdiskmgt.so.1 and since /usr was on my datapool, it failed systematically. I don't think it makes sense that an executable in /sbin be linked to a lib in /usr/lib. The only binar

While the density is only 3 drives per AT slot vs. 3.33 for the 5-drive Addonics or Supermicro units, the build quality is slightly better than the Addonics (as good as the Supermicro) and the convenience factor is superb as no tray mounting and unmounting is required: http://www.startech.com/P
