Hi all

I have a few servers running openindiana 148, and it's been running rather well 
for some time. Lately, however, we've seen some hichups that may be related to 
the platform, rather than the hardware. The actual errors have been variable. 
Some issues were due to some supermicro backplanes that tended to fail, causing 
drives to report massive i/o errors. But then, the really bad ones are issues 
where zfs reports bad drives even though iostat report them as good. So far, we 
haven't lost a pool, it has been sorted out, but I still wonder what happens if 
I'm gone for a few weeks and something like that happens.

The systems where we have had issues, are two 100TB boxes, with some 160TB 
"raw" storage each, so licensing this with nexentastor will be rather 
expensive. What would you suggest? Will a solaris express install give us good 
support when the shit hits the fan?

I all pedagogikk er det essensielt at pensum presenteres intelligibelt. Det er 
et elementært imperativ for alle pedagoger å unngå eksessiv anvendelse av 
idiomer med fremmed opprinnelse. I de fleste tilfeller eksisterer adekvate og 
relevante synonymer på norsk.
