I am amazed that you believe OpenSolaris binary distro has too much desktop stuff. Most people I have come across are firmly of the belief that it does not have enough. You do know about "pkg uninstall", don't you? And turning off services that you don't need? And that the bare metal system installed from the liveCD/liveUSB stick is bereft of those desktop apps you appear to disparage ? What is your *actual* problem with OpenSolaris binary distro as a base for a NAS system? James C.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Areca ARC-1680 on OpenSolaris 2009.06?

The problem is that at eight drives per LSI 3018, I run out of PCIe slots quickly. The ARC-1680 cards would appear to offer greater drive densities, but a quick Google search shows that they've overpromised and underdelivered on Solaris support in the past. Is anybody currently using those cards on OpenSolaris? A few people are, sure. It's been integrated since September 15th, 2008 (build 99). What do you mean by overpromised and underdelivered?
