Re: [zfs-discuss] Accessing zfs partitions on HDD from LiveCD

to answer my own question -- yes, it worked beautifully (zpool import -f tank). Now to figure out why my network connection doesn't want to work after being set up the exact same way again :( This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss

I have a similar problem -- my OS is borked-up-beyond-bootable (my bad, and I'm not used to doing snapshots for rollback yet) and I'm going to need to reinstall... but before I do that I wanted to double check and make sure that I would still be able to access my storage zpools (raidz on separ

Ok, all done :) Check out the details in my blog. Yesterday's post covered some of the stuff I mentioned in this thread. Today's post covers assembly/construction. Tomorrow's post will cover "soft" tweaks (installation, configuration, troubleshooting). http://blog.flowbuzz.com/search/label/

Update: The BCME drivers & solution from this thread worked, I think: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=195224 At least, it says the broadcom is "up" -- I just don't have it in a location where I can get an IP and outside access to test it, yet. I had some intermittent video issue

I dropped logicsupply a note asking if they had any specifics on the backplane used in my case. My guess is that it just isn't compatible with opensolaris -- I have disks in the bays, but they show up empty in the OS. If I connect one of the drives directly to the mobo it shows up fine. Chanc

Thanks for the reply (Will's too - although I see it hasn't posted to the thread). "format" gets me a list of just my system drive. "devfsadm -c disk" just spins for a second, but doesn't change anything found under format. "cfgadm" shows the following: App_Id Type Receptacle

2008-06-03 Thread Benjamin Ellison
Sorry for the newbie sounding post (well, I *am a zfs newb), but I've googled for a couple hours now and have yet to find a clear or specific answer... The zfs documentation indicates that it is very easy to make storage pools, using commands such as: zpool create tank raidz c1t0d0 c2t0d0 c3t0d0

Ok, all the bits and pieces I (thought I) needed became available and I have ordered & assembled my "mini" NAS. Once I get the pictures off my camera (when will the Eye-Fi support CF!?) I will do up a blog entry on the construction & update this thread. My biggest problem so far is that there

I'll have to check out the EagleLake stuff. I did look at the Jetway at one point in time, but forgot why I initially ruled it out. Might be worth a re-visit. I also dug up a notice that Kontron was coming out with one that looks promising as well, the KT690/mITX: http://us.kontron.com/produ

Is there anyone who has successfully put together a "high-powered" mini-itx ZFS box that would be willing to post their system specs? I'm eyeballing the KI690-AM2... http://www.albatron.com.tw/english/product/mb/pro_detail.asp?rlink=Overview&no=239 ...but am having a difficult time locating it a
