They are _not_ commodity and pricey, and require OS-level support. In fact, I believe Linux 2.6 has some support for

When cost is supreme, then just a Escalade 7006-2 or 8006-2 with (2) [P]ATA or [S]ATA drives is what you want. It only adds ~$125 to system cost. When you want to minimize

Should it be possible to hot-swap SATA drives with Centos5? It doesn't seem to work on my system. Removing an unmounted drive locked the system up, and leaving one out at bootup makes the devices change names and keeps grub from finding /boot on a scsi drive that is shifted up. -- Les Mikesell lesmikesell at gmail.com

I checked Best Buy again. The second system I recommended is in stock at the Best Buy in Warwick. It's on sale for $353. :) http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?skuId=8254569&type=product&id=1169512522677 I'm thinking about getting out of Dodge today to unwind so if you pick it up early today I can come up and help you install it and then just come home later in the day.

If I have a board that supports hot swapping SATA drives, what do I need to have in terms of installed utilities for it to work with CentOS 4? (There's all kinds of information from the board's manual for things like Windows flavors, but nothing on unix, as to always...) -- W | It's not a bug - it's an undocumented feature.

I have a two external USB drives only 1 is connected to centos 5.1 at a time. the USB drive is SLOW compared to SATA. The external drive suppots both connections USB and SATA. I bought a little $5 external SATA connector that goes into the PCI slot area (does not actually take a PCI slot just the backpanel) and just plugs back into one of the available SATA ports on the motherboard.

Ok, this is not a OpenSolaris question, but it is a Solaris and ZFS question. I have a pool with three mirrored vdevs. I just got an error message from FMD that read failed from one on the disks,(c1t6d0). All with instructions on how to handle the problem and replace the devices, so far everything is good. But the zpool still thinks everything is fine. Shouldn''t zpool also show

hi all, i would like to ask some questions regarding best practices for zfs recovery if disk errors occur. currently i have zfs boot (nv62) and the following setup: 2 si3224 controllers (each 4 sata disks) 8 sata disks, same size, same type i have two pools: a) rootpool b) datapool the rootpool is a mirrored pool, where every disk has a slice (the s0, which is 5 % of the whole disk) and this

Hi Revital, What do you mean by "code cache"? Orc (and MCJIT) does have the concept of an ObjectCache, which is a long-lived, potentially persistent, compiled version of some IR. It's not a key component of the JIT though: Most clients run without a cache attached and just JIT their code from scratch in each session. Recompilation is orthogonal to caching. There is no in-tree
