I think I'm finally going to get around to putting together the illumos
home/hobby server I've been thinking about for the past few years :),
and would appreciate a little feedback on parts/compatibility/design.
The box is intended to be both a storage server (music/video/etc media,

Yeah, it's probably way overkill for my needs, but I'll have a lot of
fun setting it up and having it, and it should last for a long time.

The server I'm spec'ing doesn't have any USB3 ports, but thanks for the
heads up...

Yep. That's why I definitely don't want to go with consumer grade
desktop drives. I think the WD Red is about the only "inexpensive"

That's the official WD part

Ah, ;), that's more easily found, about $230-$250 it seems, cool.

Sorry, I think I'm starting to ramble :). So, for those people with
similar deployment needs as myself, with a large number of filesystems,
a large population, and access via multiple protocols, what are you
currently running? What do you
handholding, the majority of our
support calls end up being actual bugs or limitations in solaris. But if
one of our file servers panics, doesn't import a pool when it boots, and
crashes every time you try to import it by hand, it would be nice to
have an engineer available :).
Thanks...

rs for ad-hoc
projects like this mostly because I already have more work than I
have engineers to perform the work.
Oh, did I mention, we're hiring? :-)
I wish you the best of luck in hiring sufficient engineers to be able to
offer support for NCP or OpenIndiana :)...
