As I used OpenSolaris for some time I wanted to give SXCE (snv_93) a change on
my home server. Now I' wondering what would be the best setup for my disks.
I have two 300GiB PATA disks* in stock, two 160G SATA disks** in use by my old
linux server and - maybe for temporary use - an external 160G USB disk***.
First though was to take one of 300G disks and creating three slices on it:
c0d0s0 32G for SXCE
c0d0s1 1G swapspace
c0d0s7 245G for zpool
Than cloning that setup on the second 300G disk (using c0d1s0 for luupgrade)
and creating the pool with two of the 160G disk like this:
zpool create data mirror c0d0s7 c0d1s7 mirror c1t0d0 c2t0d0
(c2t0d0 would be the external disk in the first place as I cannot remove both
Samsungs from the linux box before the new server can take over).
First problem I see wih that setup - it uses mirror sets which wastes a lot
space. I would prefer a RAIDz solution. Second the pool uses slices instaed of
whole disks.
Any suggestions for a "ideal" setup?
TIA,
Stefan
