Hi Ian, I've been running
Hi Ian,
I've been running ZFS on OpenSolaris for the last 6 months and it has been rock solid.
I'm running with a ZFS pool containing a single 4-disk RAIDZ1 vdev, and experienced zero checksum errors so far. I'm using the SXCE flavour of OpenSolaris (Community Edition).
I researched my hardware carefully and installed a vanilla SXCE onto it. It's been superb so far, so no real complaints.
See more here, including info on hardware, rationale for choosing the OpenSolaris implementation of ZFS, setup, ethernet port trunking etc: http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/02/a-home-fileserver-using-zfs/
I am also a long-term Linux user, but have not had any major problems learning Solaris. And the "ZFS discuss" user group on the opensolaris.com site has lots of helpful info and enthusiastic posters.
Regards,
Simon
