Hey Tim,
I've been happily using the AOC-USAS-L8i since we started talking about it a
while ago. I have it stuck in a generic motherboard from ebay in a PCI-Express
x16 slot since i wasn't going to have a 3d card in my NAS device or anything.
Using 8 sata drives across it's two ports with mirr
Last time I played with one of those, the problem was that it didn't have any
drivers for Solaris. It's a PCIE device unlike something like the gigabyte
I-Ram or Intel SSD or something.

Doesn't really have a write cache, but some of us have been using this
relatively inexpensive card with good fast results. I've been using it with
SATA rather than SAS.

Better late than never now thatI have that cable debacle cleared up :) This
card works great with 2008.05and I haven't had any problems. And All I can say
is Wow is it fast compared to my nvidia and other AOC card.

Well, just an update I suppose since there are people waiting fora review on
this card. I bought the card shortly after my last post and it has been
sitting in the box for the last 3 weeks or so on my desk. The reason being is
because the LSI IPASS to 4 sata cables I ordered along with the car
I was a little confused on what to get, so I ended up buying this off the
Provantage website where I'm getting the card. The card was like $123 and each
of these cables was like $22.

I picked up this cable based on a part number for a different S
Here's to hoping it works, I just pulled the trigger on this at provantage for
my Home NAS in hopes to replace the PCI card I have in their now from
Supermicro. I also picked up a couple of SAS to SATA cables for it too. If
anyone has verified it works, please let me know.
Thanks,

I'll have to do some thunkin' on this. We just need to get back one of the
disks, both would be great, but one more would do the trick.
After all other avenues have been tried, one thing that you can try is to use
the 2008.05 livecd and boot into the livecd without installing the OS. Import
Can you try just deleting the zpool.cache file and let it rebuild on import? I
would guess a listing of your old devices were in there when the system came
back up with new stuff. The OS stayed the same.

I'm using a gigabyte I-RAM card with cheap memory for my slog device with great
results. Of course I don't have as much memory as you do in my project box. I
also want to use the left over space on the I-ram and dual purpose it for a
readzilla cache device and slog. Picked it up off ebay along
I know nothing of AIX, but as a guess out of air:
Since it's a recursive copy, is it possible one of the filenames in the the
tree is just really long or the directory structures are so deep that it passes
some AIX limit?

WinFS sort of addresses the CAS needs of the home user Market. Sun is already
working on the Enterprise CAS needs with Honeycomb (5800) programmable storage
array. I believe they are moving the code base to ZFS. The database it uses
for it's metadata and programmable schemas came out of a pro
So yeah, you just supported what I said about a database on top of a filesystem
being useful because HFS uses a database type structure for it's catalog. It's
an object based storage but the schema in HFS isn't as extensible as to what

Actually, having a database on top of an FS is really useful. It's a Content

are putting more and more of their lives in digital format. Users need a way
to organize and search all that info in some sort of meaningf
What is the controller setup going to look like for the 30 drives? Is it going
to be fibre channel, SAS, etc. and what will be the Controller-to-Disk ratio?

Outstanding! Wow that was a ka-winky-dink in timing. This will clear up a lot
of problems for my customers in HPC environments and in some of the SAN
environments.
Thanks a lot for the info. I'll keep my eyes open.

Quick question,
Are there any tunables, or is there any way to specify devices in a pool to use
for the ZIL specifically? I've been thinking through architectures to mitigate
performance problems on SAN and various other storage technologies where

If you were really worried about it you could mount forcedirect IO or
something, however, if you read the post, I mentioned to do it as a spare. A
spare isn't active until there's a problem, so you'd only be running with the
filedevice temporarily in theory anyway.

Well since we are talking about for home use, I never tried as a spare, but if
you want to get real nutty, do the setup cindys suggested but format the 600GB
drive as UFS or some other filesystem and then try and create a 250GB file
device as a spare on that UFS drive. it will give you redundanc
I guess when we are defining a mirror, are you talking about a synchronous
mirror or an asynchronous mirror?
As stated earlier, if you are looking for an asynchronous mirror and do not
want to use AVS, you can use zfs send and receive and craft a fairly simple
script that runs constantly and u
