Has anyone considered the Gigabyte GA-G33-DS3R which has a G33 chipset (P35 with builtin video). It has that builtin VGA and the most on board, well supported, SATA ports I could find: 8xSATA; 6xSATA provided by the ICH9 and 2xSATA on JMB363. The latter must be supported by OpenSolaris? It's bee

Pawel, Is this a problem with ZFS trying to open the device twice? Richard, Yes a scrub should fix the device. One of zfs' faetures is ease of administration. It seems to defy logic that a scrub does not fix all devices, if possible. Why make it any harder for the admin? Cheers. This me

Intel show a configuration of this chassis in the Hardware Technical Specification: http://download.intel.com/support/motherboards/server/ssr212mc2/sb/ssr212mc2_tps_12.pdf without the RAID controller. I assume that then the 4xSAS ports on the Blackford chipset are then used, rather than the 4xS

> this anti-raid-card movement is puzzling. I think you've misinterpreted my questions. I queried the necessity of paying extra for an seemingly unnecessary RAID card for zfs. I didn't doubt that it could perform better. Wasn't one of the design briefs of zfs, that it would provide it's feature
