Hi, I have only 3 hdd and i want make a raidz. But i think it''s not possible to install opensolaris on a raidz system. So what is the solution? Maybe to create a lice on the first disk (where opensolaris was install) and create a raidz with this slice and the two other disk? I try that but when i use fdisk to create my partition. What is the method to know the identity of the slice waz created? Thanks for answer -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Also the zfsinstall from Milax may allow a more flexible install process. Just depends if you need it now and how much manual work you''re willing to test. If you''re interested in the status of the grub work feel free to ask in #osunix or #grub on freenode ./C
thanks but if it''s experimental i prefer don''t use. My server was use to an nfs share for an esxi so i prefer it was stable. But i thnik the best way it''s to add an other hdd to make the install and make my raidz with this 3 disks -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

After grub loads the kernel image what bugs/regressions can it include? You may want to consider many things before discarding options or not realize fully what you''re getting into. Good luck :)

You can by support for it from Sun ? Why is OpenSolaris any less production ready than Fedora or CentOS or some other Linux distro ? > After grub loads> the kernel image what bugs/regressions can it include?

This is really important for updating the menu when creating new boot environments. Especially since the menu format of grub2 is different to the grub 0.97 that OpenSolaris currently uses. -- Darren J Moffat
