All the features Hi Greg, If you want all the same enterprise features of their system (de-duplication, unlimited snapshots, writable clones, compression, more) with a greener footprint, give EON try. You, bring your own server and disks :)...

A new version of EON ZFS NAS based on the latest version of Illumos/Openindiana, has been released. EON 64-bit x86 CIFS ISO image version 1.0b (NO HTTPD) eon-1.0b-151-64-cifs-min.iso MD5: 14696d625d4f686f06d1091435b80441 Released: Wednesday 21-December-2011 (size: ~86MB) EON...

Give EON a look Give EON a look. Runs on a USB key, saves one disk port, eliminates OS disk failure and based on the latest enterprise source of illumos/openindiana http://eonstorage.blogspot.com/

No EON has not been ported to ARM. Correct me if I'm wrong but I believe that port you refer to of Opensolaris is really old. As far as I know Openindiana or Illumos has not been ported. https://www.illumos.org/projects/illumos-gate/wiki/Project_Ideas MIPS or ARM port gdamore / DeanoC...

I would also look into striped mirror RAID-10 for better ZFS, IOPs performance compared to RAID-Z2. Yes, the performance comes at the cost of burning disks. I'm also a bit biased, but I would go with ZFS. -If your hardware dies the pool can be taken to a different machine with different...

Is that performance writing over CIFS or NFS? Keep in mind that NFS does sync writes which lowers the performance numbers of ZFS. "minutes to build, seconds to boot, a lifetime to store" - EON http://eonstorage.blogspot.com/ http://sites.google.com/site/eonstorage/

It should 00Roush, Let me know your feedback if you get a chance to try it. Thanks

Embedded Operating system/Networking (EON), RAM based live ZFS NAS appliance is released on Genunix! This release marks the end of SXCE releases and Sun Microsystems as we know it! It is dubbed the Sun-set release! Many thanks to Al at Genunix.org for download hosting and serving the Opensolaris...

I'd say give EON a twirl (but I'm biased) simon, I'd recommend a min of an atom 330 (dual core) or better yet one of the newer intel D510 (mount olives) with 4 sata port. Asus makes a nice natural convection board with one drawback, 2 sata ports, but that may be enough with 2x2TB depending...

Eon YeOldeStonecat, Feel free to give EON a try, it will offer you ZFS enterprise grade storage features and for firewall features IPF, which is very similar to the rule syntax in pfsense (IIRC). http://eonstorage.blogspot.com/ http://sites.google.com/site/eonstorage/

EON ZFS storage tormorian, Are you saying if you run updimg.sh after booting from the DOM the changes are not being preserved? Are the files you changed in /mnt/eon0/.backup? I'm also a little puzzled why your static configured image from the booted USB was not copied to the DOM. The only...

Embedded Operating system/Networking (EON), RAM based live ZFS NAS appliance is released on Genunix! This is the first EON release with inline Deduplication features! Many thanks to Genunix.org for download hosting and serving the opensolaris community. EON Deduplication ZFS storage is...

List of EON features Features: - Simple and Secure CLI (command line interface) administration. Web-based GUI/BUI possible as a future development port of the Freenas web admin - Supports ZFS, iSCSI (target and client initiator), NFSv3, NFSv4, CIFS (Sun Microsystems Implementation) or Samba...

biased input I say give EON (http://eonstorage.blogspot.com) a look. Native ZFS storage. Can run from RAM booted from USB or CF. Requires getting your hands a little dirty but worth for the freedom and performance gained. Pretty soon it will have de-duplication! No special controllers needed...

Great feedback Good to here from you 00Roush, Thanks for the feedback. As always great info. The intermittent flushing is part by design and could be part because you've reached buffering limits + max speed of the pool (as you stated). Sometimes you can see it, when it is a network...
