[itdiscuss] OpenFiler

[blloyd at buskercom.com]

I'd be open to something else.  Where do I find more information about
ZFS?

 

By the way, were you trying to send an attachment?  If so, it didn't
come across.

 

Thanks,

Try this 

 

And Yes its worth it 

 

Keep in mind however:

 

The Linux iSCSI Enterprise Target (IETd) that ships with openfiler
doesn't allow multiple initiators to a single iSCSI target, so there's
no way to share the space.

 

I can show you how to use zfs and opensolaris - we are seeing huge
benefits to this setup.

ZFS is absolutely AWESOME 

 

I think its about time I blog it actually - 

 

Anyhow - openfiler is nice - 

 

Being a bsd fan - I am torn between openfiler and freenas -  (ok think
that might start a debate)  but we are to the point we are building our
own disk arrays (20TB raw) for under $3500 with zfs - I can pull drives
- and the thing stays live - really awesome.

penFiler iSCSI SAN?  I got the software installed and running, but
knowing how to setup LUNs is not real clear.  The user's manual costs
money and I'd like to make sure it is worth it.  Any thoughts?
