[zfs-discuss] Can I use S3 sleep with ZFS?

2007-02-24 Thread Tor
I have a media fileserver running with Windows XP at the moment, but I would like to change to ZFS because of the safeguards, since I lost a bunch of HD movies a few weeks ago - not because of a bad drive, but a bad drive cable! G But the thing is that I only use the media file server 3-

2007-02-24 Thread Tor

I just build a system with Gigabyte GA-M59SLI-S5 and 6 SATA2 drives. One system Seagate ES 250Gb disk, 5 Seagate ES 500Gb disks. 2.2Tb with raidz. Seems to work well with Nexenta. I could have put 5 ES 750Gb drives instead and had another TB. All in a midi-tower with an Athlon 3800+. This mother

I'm setting up a media server with ZFS, if I'm lucky... The ACL part of the administration guide has made my head feel like it has inherited the appendicitis I had two weeks ago... So is there a simpler guide somewhere? I'll explain what I want to do: I have a few different levels of users in my
