Re: OpenSolaris ZFS NAS Setup

Yeah, it'll be interesting to see how this all pans out.
But, I guess being that if you don't buy the subscription
you still get security updates, that'd probably be adequte
for me. True, that you won't get updated packages, but then
again with a new release coming out every 6 months you could
just wait for the next release to get updates. Also, updates
just tend to break things. I'd rather have a stable binary
install base, install security updates as they are released
and then update when the next release comes out in 6 months.
Just my 2 cents...

Yes, it will be interesting.

Personally, there are a couple of things that do not work as
I would like on my snv_87 so I would like to see if I can
get them working and 2008.05 won't give me that for at least
another 6 months, without paying $324 -- if these things are
bugs or incomplete drivers.


Here are the things that I've noticed so far which aren't as
they should be:

1. File system lockup: As you have the the same motherboard
(M2N-SLI Deluxe), I think, I would be very interested if you
get the same file system lockup doing a 'cp -r' of a load of
big files, reading and writing the files completely within
the same pool and file system. See: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.js
pa?threadID=59201&tstart=0
This issue appears to be a bug in the nv_sata driver which
talks to the NVidia MCP 55 chipset, but I need to get time
to get DTrace on the case so I can see where it's hanging.

2. I never got the power management to work correctly, and
didn't get the time to find out why yet. This machine seemed
to suspend, but not resume correctly. This will require me
spending time to investigate how to debug this... see: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=223084


3. When I did a large backup using rsync, I got some message
about message which I've now forgotten, but it had some
problem reading some file within my photo library --
something about some value being too large ??? This is on my
list to investigate sometime too  When I
find the issue I will report my findings.

So for me, I would like to have these things fixed before
6-12 months from now, assuming some of them are bugs. I have
noted down all my config changes in a file in order to bring
my system to the same config state from a fresh install, so
it's not too onerous to apply the config changes.
