That 1420SA will not work, period. Type "1420sa solaris" in Google and you'll
find a thread about the problems I had with it.
I sold it and took the cheap route again with a Silicon Image 3124-based
adapter and had more problems which now probably would be solved with the
latest Solaris updates
Hi,
First of all, my apologies for some of my posts appearing 2 or even 3 times
here, the forum seems to be acting up, and although I received a Java exception
for those double postings and they never appeared yesterday, apparently they
still made it through eventually.
Back on topic: I fruitl
Thanks a lot for your input, I understand those numbers a lot better now! I'll
look deeper into hardware issues. It's a pity that I can't get older BIOS
versions flashed. But I've got some other hardware lying around.
Someone suggested lowering the 35 iops default, but I can't find any

Great, superb write speeds with a similar setup, my motivation is growing again
;-)
It just occurs to me that I have a spare Silicon Image 3124 SATA card lying
around. I was postponing testing of these drives on my desktop because it has
an Intel ICH9 SATA controller probably quite similar to t

Thanks, I'll try installing Solaris on a 1GB CF card in an CF-to-IDE adapter,
so all disks will then be completely available to ZFS. Then I needn't worry
about different size block devices either.
I also find it weird that the boot disk is displayed differently from the other
two disks if I run
I see. I'll only be running a minimal Solaris install with ZFS and samba on
this machine, so I wouldn't expect immediate memory issues with 2 gigabytes of
RAM. OTOH I read that ZFS is a real memory hog so I'll be careful.
I've tested swap on a ZFS volume now, it's really easy so I'll try running
Hi,
Thanks for your input. Unfortunately, all 3 drives are identical Seagate
7200.11 drives which I bought separately and they are attached in no particular
order.
Thanks about the /dev/zero remark, I didn't know that.

Thanks for all the replies!

Hi everyone,
I've bought some new hardware a couple of weeks ago to replace my home
fileserver:
Intel DG33TL motherboard with Intel gigabit nic and ICH9R
Intel Pentium Dual E2160 (= 1.8GHz Core 2 Duo 64-bit architecture with less
cache, cheap, cool and more than fast enough)
2 x 1 GB DDR2 RAM
