Hi,
ZFS drew my attention and I''m thinking of using it to manage the
storage for a virtual machine host. The plan is to get a Core i7 machine with
12GB RAM and 6 SATA disks (+1 PATA for boot/swap), configure the 6 disks in a
tank of mirrored pairs and keep on that pool a number of virtual machines used
for development and testing. I would have 8-10 of them running at the same time.
The host OS would be Opensolaris, virtualization with Virtualbox.
Is this a reasonable setup to have? Will ZFS spread the load equally on the
disks as if they are in a RAID10 setup? Can I expect Opensolaris to work nicely
on a new motherboard such as GIGABYTE GA-P55-UD6 (it''s not on
Opensolaris hcl, and I can''t find the integrated I/O controllers or LAN
chips either).
