Hi,
I've not been able to get clean runs on this testsuite with
snv_130+ bits, nor with snv_130. Would appreciate a pointer

Good to hear someone else confirming the greatness of this ION platform for an
HTPC. BTW, how do you keep all those drives quiet? Do you use a lot of silicone
grommets on the drive screws, or some other form of vibration damping?
Cheers,

I have 4 such htpc's based on the zotac ionitx board.
It's wonderful. With VDPAU you can get 1080p video without any issues and
it uses AT MOST 30 watts of power, but normally more like 15.

Another question ...
I did this as a test because I am aware that zpools don't like drives switching
controlers without being exported first. The question was, what would a rpool
boot drive do if it was put on a different controller and then booted?

Recently I bought a disk with a broken 32MB buffer (256 bits had bits
stuck to 1 or 0) It was corrupting data by the bucket.

Aside from having a convenient hash table of checksums to consult and upon
detection of a collision knowing we are dealing with a duplicate, why checksum

Michelle,
Yes, the bootblocks and the pool coexist, even happily sometimes.
In general, you shouldn't have to deal with the boot partition stuff
that you see in the disk format output. If I could hide all this low-
level stuff from you, I would, because its so dang confusing.
Looks like you got

Hi Cindy,
Won't I have a problem putting the grub in slice 0 when it is also allocated to
the zpool? Or do the two co-exist?
I've been trying to shift the boot partition from slice 8 to slice 0, and then
make slice 1 the hog, but I just can't get to grips with the partition command
in order to
If I am reading this right, I have both IDE (root) and AHCI (data) pools. So
they are using AHCI.
pci-ide, instance #0 (driver name: pci-ide)
ide, instance #0 (driver name: ata)
cmdk, instance #0 (driver name: cmdk)
cmdk, instance #2 (driver name
Problem solved!
steps:
1. boot from USB stick with last build (CD)
2. make a backup copy of HDD to other pool:
# dd if=/dev/dsk/v14t0d0p0 of=/export/files/my80gb.raw
3. run "Install OpenSolaris" and choose the same parameters, as it was in
previous run: 80gb disk, "Entire disk", wait untill insta
