1 word: AWESOME.

cool, a cell phone is primarily used for piracy!

I know that full well, however I do not have the time to look for compatible hardware, find decent prices for it and then put it together. Hence I would prefer an "out of the box" option, where I just need to install stuff and not worry about the "putting it together" part.

Can you guys suggest something cheap from dell to start working with ZFS?

is there a how-to for n00bs like me?

So, -7.2% in "physical" sales and +9.2% in digital sales. Overall "growth" was -4.2%. I do not think that there is a reason to complain about that: Semiconductors lost 12.9%: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Semiconductor_sales_leaders_by_year#Ranking_for_year_2009

It'll be very simple: install software or you cannot listen to CD...

yes please, i want to see someone do it right!

Random or sequential data? Do you really need super fast random access? 2 Gbps is doable with regular drives, maybe add some SSD cache just in case. For USD 40k buy something with support, instead of rolling your own. I know that the latter is more fun.

I would love to move my FS to ZFS, however I have a couple of questions: 1. If I wanted to keep "folding" on my Fileserver, I should go with BSD instead of Solaris, shouldn't i? 2. Which ZFS features, if any, do I lose by using BSD vs Solaris? 3. What level of sophistication is required to...

Could you write a quick "how-to" on getting it to work. Cheers :)

Very neat thing. too bad that I have other things to do :(

very nice stuff! I want one.

who cares if it is green. That is one sexy beast.

Lovely setup. If you have the time, why don't you write a small how-to for it. I would love to replicate something like that, but I am lacking the time to scavenge together all the knowledge that I would need for such a project.
