Re: [zfs-discuss] firewire card?
I am pretty sure that Oxford 911 is a family of parts. The current Oxford Firewire parts are the 934 and 936 families. It appears that the Oxford 911 was commonly used in drive enclosures. The most troublesome part in my experience is the Initio INIC-1430. It does not get along with scsa1394 at all. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
Re: [zfs-discuss] firewire card?
Which firewire card? Any firewire card that is OHCI compliant, which is almost any add-on firewire card that you would buy new these days. The bigger question is the firewire drive that you want to use or, more precisely, the 1394-to-ATA (or SATA) bridge used by the drive. Some work better than others with OpenSolaris. Also, there is a bug in the OpenSolaris sbp2/scsa1394 modules that manifests itself in ZFS. Juergen Keil provided a fix some time ago. The fix seems to work for a lot of people, so there have been many requests to integrate it. However, there also seems to be instances where the fix may make things worse, so it has not yet been integrated into OpenSolaris. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] ZFS vs. Novell NSS
I gave a talk on ZFS at a local user group meeting this evening. What I didn't know going in was that the meeting was hosted at a Novell consulting shop. I got asked a lot of what does ZFS do that NSS doesn't do questions that I could not answer (mostly because I know almost nothing about Novell). Is there some white paper or something on the topic? I am not on the zfs discuss list, so please remember to include my e-mail address on any response. alan ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
