Think it may be time to drag my older OS X server hackintosh out of the closet.Īnyone know of a solid, cheap 8-port sata card that will work in a Mac and not break the bank? LOL. Needless to say, I can't do that with a Mac mini. On my OpenIndiana box, I have 8 main data drives in hot-swap trays, along with 2 2.5 inch hot-swap trays holding the boot drive and SSD cache drive. Ironically, my biggest "gripe" isn't with the software itself, but simply with the fact that it will be rather difficult to really replace my dedicated zfs box (OpenIndiana) with my Mac simply due to the issue of drive bays. Sounds like time to take a closer look, and with the info on the "trade-up" pricing, I may go ahead and drop the $$ on the base package in the next few days to start playing with more. I was an early beta-tester for z410, but "life" has taken up most of my time recently and I've not been actively involved. Thanks all for the info on CLI access and pricing.įull-disclosure. Hopefully that changes between now and release. Snapshots are far better then Time Machine too, although see above, I'm disturbed that they're looking at making that a feature point rather then standard.
Everything is supported and then some, and they've been doing a fantastic job of integrating it with Mac OS X, which can be quite tricky since the OS wasn't designed with things like nested filesystems in mind. Other then that though yes, it's a full HFS+ replacement. Obviously though they have every reason to make it a huge priority given that most of us aren't using Mac Pros/running external enclosures all the time. Medium term it's absolutely a goal, but for a variety of reasons ZFS has been hard to boot with everywhere (only came to FreeBSD in some form a few years ago for example), and I don't know what the state of it is.
I don't know whether booting will make 1.0 or not. supports all the mac metadata stuff as well - could boot off of it, etc.) - or is just something you could use for non-boot drives? Is this being positions as a full HFS+ replacement (i.e.
