Thank you for the effort Simon. Good to know from the feedback in your thread that the mpt_sas(7d) driver is actually responsible for the SuperMicro AOC-USAS2-L8e support.
As far as the support for the other RAID capable lsi-2008 variants in the mr_sas(7d) driver goes, it is but of little concern for ZFS employment in SOHO NAS and HD HTPC scenarios. Apart from increasing costs, I don't see them bring in any advantages, that's why I left them out -- as you self point out, ZFS works best on top of JBOD. Although I agree that driver support and compatibility are of the greatest concern, the other yet unanswered questions are IMHO nevertheless all of fundamental importance for SOHO NAS and HD HTPC builders which is a niche that OpenSolaris and ZFS fits quite well and easily could dominate. With more feedback targeting the other questions as well, this thread could become a good kick-start reference for future OpenSolaris/ZFS SOHO NAS and HD HTPC builders -- something currently AFAICT sadly missing -- and hopefully significantly boost OpenSolaris adoption. -dusan -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
