Yes. I was able to import them and have since exported them.

I've thought of that. I think the motherboard can only go to 4GB though.
That's why I exported the other zpools - to free up RAM.
The "rule" is 1GB/TB right? I have about 4.5 TB with 3 GB RAM so I'm a bit
over that rule.

My power supply failed. After I replaced it, I had issues staying up after
doing zpool import -f.
I reinstalled OpenSolaris 134 on my rpool and still had issues.
I have 5 pools:
rpool - 1*37GB
data - RAIDZ, 4*500GB
data1 - RAID1 2*750GB
data2 - RAID1 2*750GB

I've found that SFU NFS is pretty poor in general. I setup Samba on the host
system. Let the client stay native & have the server adapt.

I'll have to get a copy of Bonnie++ or some such to get more accurate numbers

I've always done a disksuite mirror of the boot disk. It's been easry to do
after the install in Solaris. WIth Linux I had do do it during the install.
OpenSolaris 2008.05 didn't give me an option.
How do I add my 2nd drive to the boot zpool to make it a mirror?

Are you using the Supermicro in Solaris or OpenSolaris? Which version?
64 bit or 32 bits?
I'm asking because I recently went through a number of SCSI cards that are in
the HCL as supported, but do not have 64 bit drivers. So they only work in 32
bit mode.

Where do you get an 8 port SATA card that works with Solaris for around $100?

I never said I was a typical consumer. After all, I bought a $1600 DSLR.
If you look around photo forums, you'll see an interest the digital workflow

I did this on Solaris 10u3. 4 120GB -> 4 500GB drives. Replace, resilver;
repeat until all all drives replaced.

I can think of a scenario. I have a n disk RAID that I built with n newly

but when I put it in, it's really ( m - x ) GB. I need to shrink

I got an Addonics eSata card. Sata 3.0. PCI *or* PCI-X. Works right off the bat
w/ 10u3. No firmware update needed. It was $130. But I don't pull out my hair
and I can use it if I upgrade my server for pci-x
[/i]
And I'm finding the throughput isn't there. < 2MB/s in ZFS RAIDZ and worse

That's good to know.
It's a new Addonics 4 port card. Specifically:
ADS3GX4R5-ERAID5/JBOD 4-port ext. SATA II PCI-X
prtconf -v output:
pci1095,7124, instance #0
Driver properties:
name='sata' type=int items=1 dev=none
.
name='compatible' type
As a followup, the system I'm trying to use this on is a dual PII 400 with
512MB. Real low budget.
2 500 GB drives with 2 120 GB in a RAIDZ. The idea is that I can get 2 more
500 GB drives later to get full capacity. I tested going from a 20GB to a
120GB and that worked well.

[i]I think the original poster, was thinking that non-enterprise users
would be most interested in only having to *purchase* one drive at a time.
Enterprise users aren't likely to balk at purchasing 6-10 drives at a
time, so for them adding an additional *new* RaidZ to stripe across is
easier.

[i]Enterprise feature questions), but it's possible now to expand a pool
containing raidz devs-- and this is the more likely case with
enterprise users:

-rw--T 1 root root 100M Jan 9 20:22 disk2

[i]If such capabilities exist, you could start with a single disk vdev and grow
it to consume a large disk farm with any number of parity drives, all while the
system is fully available.[/i]
Now you're just teasing me ;-)

I want to setup a ZFS server with RAID-Z. Right now I have 3 disks. In 6
months, I want to add a 4th drive and still have everything under RAID-Z
without a backup/wipe/restore scenario. Is this possible?
I've used NetApps in the past (1996 even!) and they do it. I think they're
using RAID4.
