Now that the shipping date for Snow Leopard is approaching, I came to the realization that I will not get rid of my Solaris based NAS. It’s been running flawlessly for the past 2 or 3 years (well, I lost several disks and a controller, but never lost any data), but I was hopping to consolidate everything on a Mac Pro with 8 cores.
Since ZFS is not going to be there, and this apparently until the next major release, I will likely upgrade my PC to a better setup in order to keep running ZFS. Even the open source effort on Mac OS Forge seems to be going nowhere …
In the mean time, I just upgraded my box to opensolaris 2009.06 and spent some time compiling the tools that I needed on the box, more on that later.
