Hi all, I have 8G -CF cards that I have been putting linux on. Everything was working fine till yesterday when I got a new batch of CF cards. The size has changed. The original CF card was 7637M (255 heads/63 sectors/928 cylinders) The new CF card is 8019M (255 heads/63 sectors/974 cylinders) I would have thought putting the smaller image file onto the larger CF card would be ok. However its

The time has come to expand my OpenSolaris NAS. Right now I have 6 1TB Samsung Spinpoints in a Raidz2 configuration. I also have a mirrored root pool. The Raidz2 configuration should be for my most critical data - but right now it is holding everything so I need to add some more pools and move some data around. To start I need a vdev I will call "temp" that acts as a netw...

Hi all, Please can you help with my ZFS troubles: I currently have 3 x 400 GB Seagate NL35''s and a 500 GB Samsung Spinpoint in a RAIDZ array that I wish to expand by systematically replacing each drive with a 750 GB Western Digital Caviar. After failing miserably, I''d like to start from scratch again if possible. When I last tried, the replace command hung for an age, network connectivity was lost (I have to d...

...e for the money" is critical. So the less number of disk, the better (not only because of price but also because of power consumption and the lack of cooling). This also means that I prefer RAID-Z to mirrors for less critical data. 1) My plan is to install 2008.11 on three 1 TB disks (Samsung SpinPoint F1, two new and one currently containing Linux data). I will start with a single, new disk and install the OS on a zpool inside an fdisk partition, say 100 GB large. This is where the OS and /home will live. The rest of the disk will later be used for less critical data (music, video, VMs, backups,...
