Hello All,
I build a new Storage Server to backup my data, keep archives of client files,
etc I recently had a near loss of important items.
So I built a 16 SATA bay enclosure (16 hot swappable + 3 internal) enclosure, 2
x 3Ware 8 port RAID cards, 8gb RAM, dual AMD Opertron.
I have a 1tb boot

I have a 4tb Buffalo Terastation that cannot be expanded further and I am using
2.7tb. Also, I have need to mak

Hi All,
OK, I have 3Ware looking into a driver for my cards (3ware 9500S-8) as I dont
see an OpenSolaris driver for them.
But this leads me that they do have a FreeBSD Driver, so I could still use ZFS.
What does everyone thing about that? I bet it is not as mature as on
OpenSolaris.
Does anyo
Hi All,
I am looking at ZFS and I get that they call it RAIDZ which is similar to RAID
5, but what about RAID 10? Isn't a RAID 10 setup better for data protection?
So if I have 8 x 1.5tb drives, wouldn't I:
- mirror drive 1 and 5
- mirror drive 2 and 6
- mirror drive 3 and 7
- mirror drive 4 an
And I should mention that I have a boot drive (500gb SATA) so I dont have to
consider booting from the RAID, I just want to use it for storage.

about adding a hot
spare. Wont that happen with the above command or do I really just zpool create
datastore raidz3 da0 da1 da2 da3 da4 da5 and then issue the hotspare command
twice for da6 and da7?

Hi All,
Since switching to ZFS I get a lot of ³beach balls². I think for
productivity sake I should switch back to HFS+. My home directory was on
this ZFS parition.
I backed up my data to another drive and tried using Disk Utility to select
my ZFS partition, un-mount it and format just that part
