Hi
I'm a little bit new with server but I'm going to dive in and build
myself a server with opensolaris and zfs. Plan on going with 6-7x
1.5tb drives with raidz2.
I've one question that I'd love to get an answere for. I've been
reading everywhere it feels like and I see a lot of
opensolaris+zfs+jbod.
1) Why should I have jbod on the controller card (well in my case on
the motherboard since I'll use some mobo with 8 sata connectors).
Does not zfs take care of all that? Or can someone help me clear
this up a bit for me?
If your controller supports JBOD, then ZFS has the easiest time
managing and repairing failures because it has full control. On
controllers where JBOD isn't available, sometimes people can create
single-disk RAID0/RAID1 vdevs and export those to ZFS.
Alternately, it's possible to create your zpool on top of some
hardware RAID solution, but in those cases, it's often difficult for
ZFS to repair things if they go wrong.
