Can an ISO file be mounted from /etc/fstab at boot?
I'm pretty sure the answer is no, just write a local rc script to do that, but thought I'd check. Can't see any hint of that capability in the handbook or fstab(5). Really just looking for a single point of management for file systems Thanks in advance.

Albert, What are you using for an HBA in the Dell?

Anyone using freebsd ZFS for large storage servers?
The subject is pretty much the question. Perhaps there's a better place to be asking this question ... We have (very briefly) discussed the possibility of using FreeBSD pizza boxes as a storage heads direct attached to external JBOD arrays with ZFS. In perusing the list, I haven't stumbled across indications of people actually doing this. External JBODs would be running 24 to 48TB each, roughly. There would be a couple of units. The pizza boxes would be used for computational tasks, and nominally would have 8 cores and 96G+ RAM. Obvious questions are hardware compatibility and stability. I've set up small FreeBSD 9 machines with ZFS roots and simple mirrors for other tasks here, and those have been successful so far. Observations would be appreciated.

Re: Anyone using freebsd ZFS for large storage servers?
That helps. Thank you. This is an academic departmental instructional / research environment. We had a great relationship with Sun, they provided great opportunities to put Solaris in front of students. Oracle, not so much, and the Oracle single-tier support model simply isn't affordable for this business (there's no ROI at the departmental level g). Solaris is not a viable option. FreeBSD looks like the next best available option at the moment, particularly considering the use of the storage heads as compute machines. OpenIndiana shows promise. Nexenta has a great product, but the user community expects more flexibility in software options. Is there anything like a list of supported (known good) SAS HBA's?

As for OS take your pick: NexentaStor, FreeBSD, Solaris 11 All capable, of course Solaris has latest version of ZFS but still. At work we're looking into getting a StorEdge appliance wich will handle up to 140+ TB. I am also in charge of redesigning one of our virtual SAN's to a FreeBSD ZFS storage system which will run well how many JBOD's can you fit on the system?? Probably round ~100TB or so.
