8 hot swap bays is not too much. The rest looks like a cake walk for OSol. But with this HW you can't go for 2009.06 anyhow, as ICH-10 won't be recognized. (I tried this on x58) I have a 2U enclosure as well (12-bay), but I'd opt for at least 3U next time, as there are too many restrictions

hello if you want to compair it against openfiler, i would suggest not to use opensolaris itself (too much desktop stuff) but a more server like opensolaris distribution like eon (minimal opensolaris + napp-it) or nexentastor community edition (free version of their commercial storage server

Thanks for the tips, I tried EON, but it is too minimalistic, I plan to use this server for other (monitoring server and etc.) Nexenta is a strange hybrid, and use the not commercial version, without its ability, i don't know... A napp-it i'll try for sure -- This message posted from

Is it?  I don't really understand the nexenta license, which is why I don't bother with it. In the simplest terms, NCP (nexenta.org) = Free as in speech/beer NexentaStor Community Edition (nexentastor.org) = Free as in beer - NCP underneath + closed WebGUI + FOSS plugins NexentaStor

safe to say: 2009.06 (b111) is unusable for the purpose, ans CIFS is dead in this build. I am using B133, but I am not sure if this is best choice. I'd like to hear from others as well. -Tonmaus -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___
