...rives. I was planning on going with 5 raidz vdevs each with 4 drives, and maybe a hot spare inside the case in one of the extra slots. I am going to use 2 Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards (pci-x 133 each with 8 sata ports) The motherboard is going to be either Supermicro mbd-c2sbx or Supermicro mbd-x7sbe both have 6 onboard sata ports. So, I''ve got a couple things i could do...If possible i''d like to avoid buying another raidcard UNLESS i can find one for under 100 dollars......what i''m wondering is, what is the best way to construct my vdevs. Should i have all 4 drive...

Hi, I''ve recently setup a few machines with 3.2 64bit without any unresolvable problem. These machines all run pv domU''s and a view "basic" hvm domUs.

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).
