...from him!). Thoughts/advice? Any other suggestions for a mini-itx (or other small form factor) mobo that supports enough ram/cpu/SATA ? My goals & constraints for this system are: *) ZFS -- I want this to run opensolaris/ZFS *) Size -- I don''t have room for anything bigger than the Chenbro ES34069 case http://www.chenbro.com/corporatesite/products_detail.php?serno=100 *) Power -- I want to be able to put a hefty chunk of RAM and a nice cpu in it, because I''d like this box to be multi-purpose (eventually) Thanks, --Ben This message posted from opensolaris.org

Sc847 36 drive config. Wd RE3 1tb drives. Areca and lsi hba. 3 or so drives would completely hang under any kind of decent load. Replaced with lsi 1068 and chenbro sas espanders and replaced the supermicro backplane with the -A version (direct port) and its been riPping along for well over a year. We replaced the 3gb backplane 2x and exact same failures. Supermicro refuses to concede a problem exists. The smicro board is total sh*t despite using an lsi expa...

...-- couldn't get out of it .. at least under 9.1 it doesn't hang). ... Can someone help me to figure out what this means? Should I be alarmed? The system has an Intel S3000AH server board with an LSI 9211-8i card with SAS2008 chipset, running IT firmware. It is connected to an older Chenbro CK12803 expander card which is connected to the 16 disk ports in the AIC RMC3E2-XPSS 3U chassis. The disks are all recognized -- da0 is a 1 TB, da1-11 are 2 TB disks. Any ideas? Thanks .. Jason Keltz

...AMD-friendly boards, with older onboard Broadcomm GBnics that support NIC bonding and handle excess internet & internal snmp (cacti & nagios) traffic without blowing up. I can rave about Crucial (Micron) RAM, and AMD Opteron CPU's, and Seagate & Fujitsu SCSI SCA 80 pin drives, Chenbro 2U rackmount 6* SCA cases, Zippy redundant power supplies, LSI Logic MegaRAID 320-2 controllers -but the basis of it all is the board. It's got all the other parts no one talks about. It's the source of many a dmesg output. With the right board, life is much much easier. Right now...

Hi I''m running OpenSolaris 148 on a few boxes, and newer boxes are getting installed as we speak. What would you suggest for a good SLOG device? It seems some new PCI-E-based ones are hitting the market, but will those require special drivers? Cost is obviously alsoo an issue here....

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 ;-) -

Hi all I want to look at setting up a simple / cheap SAN / NAS server using normal PIV motherboard, 2GB (or even more) RAM, Core 2 Duo CPU (probably a Intel 6700 / 6750 / 6800) & some SATA HDD's (4 or 6x 320GB - 750GB). My budget is limited, so I can't afford a pre-built NAS device. Can this be done with CentOS? I've been looking FreeNAS (which is built on FreeBSD), and it

Hello All, I build a new Storage Server to backup my data, keep archives of client files, etc I recently had a near loss of important items. So I built a 16 SATA bay enclosure (16 hot swappable + 3 internal) enclosure, 2 x 3Ware 8 port RAID cards, 8gb RAM, dual AMD Opertron. I have a 1tb boot drive and I put in 8 x 1.5tb Seagate 7200 drives. In the future I want to fill the other 8 SATA bays

Hello, I am building a home file server and am looking for an ATX mother board that will be supported well with OpenSolaris (onboard SATA controller, network, graphics if any, audio, etc). 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. After reading several

My current home fileserver (running Open Solaris 111b and ZFS) has an ASUS M2N-SLI DELUXE motherboard. This has 6 SATA connections, which are currently all in use (mirrored pair of 80GB for system zfs pool, two mirrors of 400GB both in my data pool). I''ve got two more hot-swap drive bays. And I''m getting up towards 90% full on the data pool. So, it''s time to expand,
