[zfs-discuss] zfs boot / root in Nevada build 101
This seems like a n00b question but I'm stuck. Nevada build 101. Doing fresh install (in vmware fusion). I don't see any way to select zfs as the root file system. Looks to me like UFS is the default, but I don't see any option box to allow that to be changed to zfs. What am I missing?! Thanks. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Ah, thanks much all! Cindy I'll try to hit the Elling talk too but my time in San Diego will be short, unfortunately. I'll keep an eye out for you... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Just occurred to me that S10U6 won't support ZFS root install via the GUI either? That will be confusing... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss

Rats, text install hangs after printing out that very early set of ... More debugging...or I could wait for S10U6... -- 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] zfs boot / root in Nevada build 101
Hi Cindy, I googled quite a lot before posting my question. This issue isn't mentioned in the ZFS boot FAQ for example or anywhere (that I saw) on the Opensolaris ZFS pages. Of course I could have read the ZFS Admin book at docs. sun.com... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] Good PCI controllers for Nevada?
Just thought I'd share some recent experiences. I had an Adaptec ASH-1233 PCI controller (based on the Silicon Image SII0680ACL144 chip) in my Nevada build 45 system (a white box PC based on the AMD 3200+ CPU). This system is the backup for my main home server. Using zfs send | rsh zfs receive to copy the data, I was only getting about 4MB/sec to a RAIDZ1 pool of 4 X IDE 300GB drives (2 on the internal IDE controller and 2 on the Adaptec). I swapped the Adaptec for the generic CompuUSA PCI ULtra ATA / 133 PCI Card. It's SKU 293595. It's based on the ITE IT8212F. I give you the details because with the same disk, just swapping controllers, I'm now moving on average 34MB/sec.
