After failed luck with a pair of Syba SD-SATA-4P PCI-X SATA II controllers
(Sil3114 chipset), I've now successfully used a Tekram TR-834A 4-port SATA-II
controller (Sil3124-2 chipset) at the full PCI-X 133MHz bus speed and b50.

Exactly, that's why I used quotes as I'm sure I'd be happy with S10u3, assuming
ignorance
I'm in the process of building a Solaris NFS server with ZFS and was wondering
if any gurus here have any comments as to choosing the upcoming Solairs 10
11/06 [presumably] or OpenSolaris bXX/Solairs Express for this use. Even with
my use of OpenSolaris I maintain a service contract to show my

Okay, so now that I'm planning to build my NAS using ZFS, I now need to devise
or learn of a preexisting method to receive notification of ZFS handled errors
on a remote machine.
For example, if a disk fails and I don't regularly login or SSH into the ZFS
server, I'd like an email or some oth

Thanks gents for your replies. I've used to a very large config W2100z and
ZFS for awhile but didn't know "how low can you go" for ZFS to shine, though a
64-bit CPU seems to be the minimum performance threshold.
Now that Sun's store is [sort of] working again, I can see some X2100's with

I could use the list's help.
My goal: Build a cheap ZFS file server with OpenSolairs on UFS boot (for now)
10,000 rpm U320 SCSI drive while having a ZFS pool in the same machine. The
ZFS pool will either be a mirror or raidz setup consisting of either two or

Not much space in a Blade 100/150 for multiple disks, but it is quiet and cheap.

Try the directions in the previous posted linkusing the Solaris 'format'
command.

I'm also seeing this behavior on occasion with b36 and b38...from the b36 box...

Thank you gentlemen for your quick replies.
The ZFS upgrade process sounds like it'll be a snap since I'll simply use the
native ZFS version 2 on my next install/upgrade and simply import my data from
the existing backup pools (prior to ZFS v2).
Keep up the great work!
This message posted
Could anyone confirm that with the recent additions to ZFS, most notably ZFS
version 2, that a ZFS pool created in b37 or older will still be
readable/importable in b38 ZFS version 2 and newer?
If so, is there any serious negative impact on the using an existing ZFS pool
or should the older poo

With all the talk of snapshots as of late, is there an interest for a ZFS
discuss sub-group for Snapshots?
Perhaps this may prevent further anything getting "lost in the shuffle".

Interesting idea Constantin.
However, perhaps instead of or in addition to your idea, I'd like to have a

some more current snapshot were created. Ideally this mechanism would prevent
