AHCI or IDE is at the device level not zfs level, as such it's a property of the OS layer. I suspect all OSs that zfs run on support AHCI directly (OpenSolaris do).
Always use it instead of IDE emulation (which is what is happening what you select IDE in the firmware, it is purely for old OS support with no direct SATA support) HTH, Deano -----Original Message----- From: zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org [mailto:zfs-discuss-boun...@opensolaris.org] On Behalf Of Alexander Lesle Sent: 16 December 2010 19:43 To: zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org Subject: [zfs-discuss] AHCI or IDE? Hello All, I want to build a home file and media server now. After experiment with a Asus Board and running in unsolve problems I have bought this Supermicro Board X8SIA-F with Intel i3-560 and 8 GB Ram http://www.supermicro.com/products/motherboard/Xeon3000/3400/X8SIA.cfm?IPMI= Y also the LSI HBA SAS 9211-8i http://lsi.com/storage_home/products_home/host_bus_adapters/sas_hbas/interna l/sas9211-8i/index.html rpool = 2vdev mirror tank = 2 x 2vdev mirror. For the future I want to have the option to expand up to 12 x 2vdev mirror. After reading the board manual I found at page 4-9 where I can set SATA#1 from IDE to AHCI. Can zfs handle AHCI for rpool? Can zfs handle AHCI for tank? Thx for helping. -- Regarrds Alexander _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
