I''m a fan of ZFS since I''ve read about it last year. Now I''m on the way to build a home fileserver and I''m thinking to go with Opensolaris and eventually ZFS!! Apart from the other components, the main problem is to choose the motherboard. The offer is incredibly high and I''m lost. Minimum requisites should be: - working well with Open Solaris ;-) -

I'm considering upgrading, and am trying to choose a modern motherboard that nevertheless fully works with Centos5/RHEL5. Though I'm partial to AMD processors, and would like to use one in my new configuration, that's not a requirement, if the most appropriate board happens to be intel-compatible. However, given the way ASUS is dumping LInux and crawling more firmly into bed with

The main problem is, that I can''t run it in a HVM, since the setup I plan to use involves passing all the necessary PCI NICs to the DomU and my current CPU (AMD X2 e series on an AMD 780g chip-set) does not support VT-d, making PCI passthrough to a HVM impossible (according to my research at least). Using network bridges is also out of the question, since I do not want the Dom0 to be aware of those devices (or at least nothing but pciback in Dom0) and the network traffic to...

I decided to go for Intel based boards (socket LGA 775) since it seems like power management is better supported with Intel processors and power efficiency is an important factor.
