Tried with my own 8GB DOM first (with different OS'es) but could only make some linux working (bootdriver) so i went for a usb memory stick based solution.
I just added a serial console cable with a db9 connector on one side which fits nicely in the back of the box and setup the bios to do console redirection. Since this was my first contact with OSOL I didnt know how to install it directly in that box without gui and did it on another pc onto a usb stick and moved it over after setup. Tried to attach a second usb memory stick but zfs gave me tons of errors during resilvering and ended with a corrupted filesystem. So I'm running it with a single usb stick which works great. Now I run the box with 4*1TB Sata (Samsung F1) in a raidz config with 2 GB ram and a 2 Ghz Celeron, with native cifs (performance ok) and look currently at iscsi but i cannot reach the same performance as cifs (mtu 9k, nagle off). Still open is the failing attach/resilver of the boot usb stick and a working dlna/upnp mediaserver. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
