similar to: Still more questions WRT selecting a mobo for small ZFS RAID

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

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 ;-) -

Is there a method to view the status of the rams ecc single or double bit errors? I would like to confirm that ecc on my xeon e5520 and ecc ram are performing their role since memtest is ambiguous. I am running memory test on a p6t6 ws, e5520 xeon, 2gb samsung ecc modules and this is what is on the screen: Chipset: Core IMC (ECC : Detect / Correct) However, further down "ECC" is

I am planning to build a server based on the SuperMicro X7DBE+-O motherboard. This server will have two dual-core Xeon processors and a 3ware 9550SX raid card. Has anyone built a server based on this motherboard? Are there any issues with the smp/dual-core support in CentOS4 that might cause problems? I appreciate any input. I'm just looking to find out about any possible problems before

To all.. I was using a Gigabyte motherboard, and the board seems like a bad choice. What do you guys recommend for a decent server board that would use a Dual Core processor and DDR2 ram. I dont want to replace the CPU and Mem i already have, just find a decent board that supportsthe existing..

Hi, As it has been brought to my attention (by several parties), my current MB does not support VT-d. Since I don''t feel like purchasing a brand new system, I have searched for replacement MB-s that would fit into my existing uATX case, support my C2D CPU, and support at least 4x2GB ram. I have narrowed it down to the following four models: SUPERMICRO MBD-C2SBM-Q-O (Q35 chipset)

Hello listmates, I would like to build a 12-15 TB RAID 5 data server to run under ContOS. Any recommendations as far as hardware, configuration, etc? Thanks. Boris.

I posted a thread here... http://forums.opensolaris.com/thread.jspa?threadID=596 I am trying to finish building a system and I kind of need to pick working NIC and onboard SATA chipsets (video is not a big deal - I can get a silent PCIe card for that, I already know one which works great) I need 8 onboard SATA. I would prefer Intel CPU. At least one gigabit port. That''s about it. I

What socket AM2 motherboards out there work well with xen (i.e. support > 4G ram, sata and lan chipsets work). I''m looking to probably run one of the lowpower Athlon 64 X2 4200''s in it. I''d also like to see atleast 4 ram slots. Anyone have any recomendations? Thanks, Doug _______________________________________________ Xen-users mailing list

If there were a ?zfs send? datastream saved someplace, is there a way to verify the integrity of that datastream without doing a ?zfs receive? and occupying all that disk space? I am aware that ?zfs send? is not a backup solution, due to vulnerability of even a single bit error, and lack of granularity, and other reasons. However ... There is an attraction to ?zfs send? as an augmentation to the

I have a raidz2 and did a scrub, it took 8h. Then I reconnected some drives to other SATA ports, and now it takes 15h to scrub?? Why is that? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org

Hey, folks, I've got an HP Proliant DL580 G5 throwing ECC errors. This is annoying, since a) it's all new as of a few months ago, and b) it's *fully* populated. The two things I need to figure out are a) *which* DIMM it is, and b) is it mirrored; if so, which *other* DIMM needs to come out until we get replacements from the OEM. Here's one of many, all identical, from dmesg:

My workhorse server is a SuperMicro with their H8DM8-2 motherboard. For many years it ran CentOS 5.x and 6.x until the boot drive failed last year. I installed a 1TB SSD as /dev/sda and planned to install CentOS 7 on it, replacing CentOS 6.5 on the failed drive. Unfortunately every CentOS 7 media I tried, either optical disk or USB thumb drive, breaks down just a few seconds after selecting

Hey Y'all, How much can I trust the output of dmidecode? The manual that came with my MB says that my MB can support up to 2 Gb of DDR2 RAM. dmidecode seems tell me that I can load up to 8 Gb on this MB. As 4 Gb DDR2 sticks cost about $100 each I figured maybe I should ask, what's the chances that I can plug in two 4 Gb sticks in this machine and actually have it work? [root at

Hi list, I googled around but couldn''t find anything on whether someone has good or bad experiences with the Caviar *Blue* drives? I saw in the archives Caviar Blacks are *not* recommended for ZFS arrays (excluding apparently RE3 and RE4?). Specifically I''m looking to buy Western Digital Caviar Blue WD10EALS 1TB drives [1]. Does anyone have any experience with these drives? If
