Here I'd need help to decide if I need to format my M500 to 400GB if I want to be able to use in a write intensive production array later.I have all the SSDs I ordered yet.
I wonder if I made a mistake formatting my S3500 to 120 GB (I didn't really decide anything and let OmniOS initialize the disk for me).
I'm a little nervous the same thing could happen to my new expensive (for me) M500 480GB.
Indeed, I don't know what I'll be uding it for in the future and I read everywhere how it's important to safe some space for extra OP (longevity).
I have a lot of disks plugged in right now and I'd like suggestions how to use them.
definetly need a plan here :/
IPMI complains with LED error 2 then 16. Seems related to disks. I couldn't log in to IPMI anymore. I unplugged them all but the boot drive and got it working (after a cold reboot). System console still logs disk errors and I suspect the cheap SATA to USB adapter I use with the OCZ drive on the internal USB port. I'll unplug it too later today.
