What is really odd is I see your replies but not my original post, how
very strange??
Thank you for all of your assistance. I would like to move to being able
to build a cheap san-like storage area for a DB, I don't know how well
it would work but I'd like to try it anyway since things like HP MSA's
are hugely expensive.
I like these suggestions of filling a second box and connecting this to
the 1st box using these expanders and port replicators. I don't really
need as fast as I can get as this is not a high-use DB backend or many
user file server. A few users here and there but nothing that worries me
about the bottleneck caused by these replicators. This way is ALOT
better then my system of trying to export iscsi disks or something like
that. This way I can add create a second box then have a cable into an
expander or replicator on the 1st box, a 3rd box could then be added to
the expander/replicator at a later date. There is a limit on how far
this could go realistically, but I like this way. I could go further by
adding SSD's for the L2ARC and ZIL if I wanted to. I found zfsbuild.com
to be a quite nice site/blog
Thanks for all your help
