Hi there, I'm currently setting up a new system to my lab. 4 SATA drives would be turned into the main file system (ZFS?) running on a soft raid (raid-z?).
My main target is reliability, my experience with Linux SoftRaid was catastrophic and the array could no be restored after some testing simulating power failures (thank god I did the tests before relying on that...) For what I've seen so far, Solaris cannot boot from a raid-z system. Is that correct? In this case, what needs to be out of the array? Example, on a Linux system, I could set the /boot to be on a old 256MB USB flash.(As long the boot loader and kernel were out of the array the system would boot.) What are the requirements for booting from the USB but loading a system on the array? Second, how do I proceed during the Install process? I know it's a little bit weird but I must confess I'm doing it on purpose. :-) I thank you in advance This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
