I plan on removing the second USAS-L8i and connect all 16 drives to the first USAS-L8i when I need more storage capacity. I have no doubt that it will work as intended. I will report to the list otherwise. I'm a little late to the party here. First, I'd like to thank those pioneers who

From your description, it sounds like you are looking for an independent nas hardware box? In which case using freenas or opensolaris to handle the hardware and present iscsi volumes to your vms, is a pretty simple solution. If your instead looking for one box to handle both data storage and

Really if your just talking a handful of drives then hardware raid may be the simpilest solution for now. However, I also would be inclided to use seperate nas and vm servers. Even with ecc you can put together a nas box for a few hundred (or use existing hardware), plus what you need for a

This actually sounds a little like what ms is trying to accomplish, in win7, with libraries. They will act as standard folders if you treat them as such. But they are really designed to group different pools of files into one easy place. You just have to configure it to pull from local and

I'm no expert but if I was in the same situation, I would definately keep the integrity check on. Especially since your only running a raid5, the sooner you know there is a problem the better. Even if zfs can not fix it for you it can still be a useful tool. Basically a few errors may not be

I would think only the casesensitivity=mixed should have to be set at creation time, that casesensitivity=insensitive could be set at any time. Hmmm. We don't allow this for a couple of reasons. If the file system was case-sensitive or mixed and you suddenly make it insensitive,
