I don't know if it affects your setup, but I thought the 9211 was 6Gbps SAS only, and 3Gbps SATA. Are your disks SAS? I'm not familiar with any drives that WD makes being SAS, but maybe it was just the environment I was in didn't use them.
Well, WD nowadays makes a lot of drives. HGST (formerly Hitachi Global Storage Technologies) is a wholly owned subsidiary of Western Digital
for the past year or two, as I learned while shopping for this box ;) As for the controller speeds... I did not see such information about the speed limits, so I can take your words "as is". Anyhow, this is the setup which works with no hiccups and I am content with it. Much better than that older attempt, which was a decent PC and I've spent years with it (working, coding, playing, etc.) - but happened to be a disgrace of a server, which managed to keep losing data even with ZFS underneath. Although, trying to unravel those mysteries is what got me onto the illumos/OI/zfs lists, and did provide lots of learning experience about how things are made "under the hood". Not all is bad :) Thanks, //Jim _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
