1st thx for the quick response. Current config is windows XP with 8 seprate non raided 1.5TB sata NTFS drives My backup data is stored on another server with hardware raid 5 and FreeNas this wont come into the equation. I currently dont have a opensolaris install. The current does and donts of the storage pool system are still unclear to me as I am RTFMing.
I do have a sata intel hardware raid controller that I have not installed on any of my systems yet. So what I would like to do is create a new server potentially booting it from a CF drive. And have the sata drives running as redundant storage space. The crux being that I dont want to loose all the data that is currently on the drives during transformation. I hope this is clearer and thx. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
