2008-12-10 Thread John Smith
When I create a volume I am unable to mount it locally. I pretty sure it has something to do with the other volumes in the same ZFS pool being shared out as ISCSI luns. For some reason ZFS things the base volume is ISCSI. Is there a flag that I am missing? Thanks in advanced for the help. [EMA

[zfs-discuss] Clone a disk, need to change pool_guid

The original thought was 3 of the drives as storage, and one of the drives as parity. So that would yield around 1.4TB of useable storage. I hadn't given any thought to running 64 bit. This system is being built from the ground up. I guess in the back of my head I had assumed it would be 32

Hello all, Spent the last several hours perusing the ZFS forums and some of the blog entries regarding ZFS. I have a couple of questions and am open to any hints, tips, or things to watch out for on implementation of my home file server. I'm building a file server consisting of an Asus P5WD2 m
