Any suggested search stings? Maybe at search.gmane.org It would be too lucky to expect someone has a list of some good (up to date) setups a home NAS fellow could be inspired by eh? I know there is a hardware compat list... but last time I looked it was not being kept up to date. This is getting a little far afield but: Another thought someone else had in a similar thread was to host Osol in a Virtual Machine. I've thought about that and kind of like the idea. Here is why: My main use of computers has been a hobby... I piddled around with the various free solaris OSs going back quite a few years and with linux for much longer. Now (since retirement) I've become sort of a semi-professional video editor and Graphics editor/creator. Nearly all my tools rely on windows OS such as the Adobe suites, or the Sony (Vegas) tools and etc. That is what I need a NAS for mainly... those kind of files will soon fill up even large disks. So how would I go about that kind of switch? Lets say I built up a dual quad something with i7 920 or such and lots of SATA connections or extra sata cards and running windows 7 to be both my video editing machine and my NAS in one go. Would there be any way to get the VM hosted opensolaris OS to use the current discs and not have to move all the data some how? Or really any ideas at all about how to take a run at something like that. Seems like it might require two machines at some point for a one time effort to export from one and import from the other... I'd sooner not have to do it that way if possible. >> Would I expect to need to reinstall for starters? > > With care, nothing. Ahh good news... thank you sir. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
