Pages of interest - 21 July
Elektronkind » OpenSolaris 2008.11 - A Preview For The Storage Admin - I missed this page last week, but wanted to make you all aware of an interesting review of OpenSolaris from the perspective of a storage system administrator. There is good coverage about the OpenSolaris storage features of ZFS, iSCSI, CIFS, COMSTAR, NDMP, AVS and others.The Blog of Ben Rockwood » : Explore Your Storage with FileBench - This blog was posted a few days back and gives a nice overview of FileBench and talks about how to create various workloads to determin the performance of a system.
I also wanted to point out: mega_sas project page now live - /devices/pseudo/bitbucket@0:bitbucket - the mega_sas project is now live on OpenSolaris. This is an open source implementation of the driver for the LSI MegaRAIS SAS Controller. The project page has lots of information on where the project team would like to head next and is looking for participants.
[4-Aug: This post has been correct to give Ben Rockwood credit for the FileBench post.]
