Hi all, I'm building a whole new server system for my employer, and I really want to use OpenSolaris as the OS for the new file server. One thing is keeping me back, though: is it possible to recover a ZFS Raid Array after the OS crashes? I've spent hours with Google to avail....
To be more descriptive, I plan to have a Raid 1 array for the OS, and then I will need 3 additional Raid5/RaidZ/etc arrays for data archiving, backups and other purposes. There is plenty of documentation on how to recover an array if one of the drives in the array fails, but what if the OS crashes? Since ZFS is a software-based RAID, if the OS crashes is it even possible to recover any of the arrays? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
