Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] oi151a7 live DVD Grub problems with Dell Precision T3600

2012-12-06 Thread Alex Lam S.L.
Not sure if this is related to your issue, and I haven't tried oi151a7 on a Live DVD. But I did a few installations via Live DVDs of earlier versions, and managed to fail booting once. It is resolved when I burn the same content on a 2nd DVD and try again. HTH, Alex. On Thu, Dec 6, 2012 at 8

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] rpool on mirrored USB flash drives

2012-08-06 Thread Alex Lam S.L.
I did try that when building my current home server with just one USB stick. My experience was that the resulting OS is quite a bit slower, may be due to a bad choice of stick on my part. Anyway, I ended up with 1x500GB rpool disk and 5x2TB RAID-Z1 pool using an Asus mATX motherboard and i3-2120T.
