Setup: Osol.11 build 109 Athlon64 3400+ Aopen AK-86L mobo adeptec 1250sa Sata PCI controller card [re-posted from accidental post to osol `general'' group] I''m having trouble with an adaptec 1205sa (non-raid) SATA PCI card. It was all working fine when I plugged 2 used sata 200gb disks of a windows xp machine into it. Booted my osol server and added a zpool mirror using those 2 drives and the adaptec 1205sa SATA PCI card. So I know it works. On every boot I see a message like this Pre...

Adaptec 1210SA with a RAID 0 Intel 815 based mobo 512mb ram During the install, Disk Druid or whatever the partition utility is, sees the first disk but says the other disk is not initialized and only reports 150MB when the array is 300MB.

...11 on, a 250gb IDE Disk that used to be on a windows XP machine. I also have on hand 2 200GB SATA disks that I cannot use (yet) since osol does not recognize the controller. I''ve ordered another 500 GB IDE disk to add to the mobo''s 2 IDE controllers, and a PCI sata card (Adaptec 1205sa) with 2 ports. All told that would be 1100GB for a pool. It just bugs me that I probably left too much for the OS. I really don''t have much of a clue of how much room a zfs server needs for the OS. Is this something that isn''t worth the effort... impractical? If not then a...
