Perhaps this is not the right forum but it was said in the help forum that that was dead and I see all sorts of questions for help in this forum part so I hope I'm excused.
I'm going to build myself a NAS with opensolaris and zfs. I would love some tips and info about what hardware you would recommend, that is most stable and supported. I'm looking to build the zfs with 6x 1.5 tb western green drives. Thinking about having the OS on another separate drive, would like to have it mirrored but not with hw raid so that I stay free from problems if that controller card would fail. I'm looking for ECC support on the motherboard. That is, I'm interested in a mobo with at least 6 sata connectors, preferably some pci-e connectors for various of cards and one pci-x port. Any tip on a motherboard for this? Preferably less then 150 euro/ 210 usd. I seems quite hard to go throu all mobos searching and searching the hardware comparability list. I was dead set on a mobo with 8 working sata connectors thought, maybe I should use a sata card for the extra slots for the OS disk? How would you go about with the OS disk? would you cut out a bit from the raidz2 for it or use seperate disks? Tips and info really appreciated, thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
