Sorry for not posting in a while...been quite busy, to include a trip to a Middle Eastern country for a few months. Sadly, due to shifts in budget priority and the loss of my extra box, I've yet to get around to some real tinkering on this. Though I'm still researching this off and on, I'm...

Yeah, I know it's hot air and he's doing the hustle right now. Carlos seems pretty confident that their product will deliver. It'll be interesting either way it turns out. Still quite a bit of folks who like the idea of DE for "hassle-free" expansion.

One of the vendors mentioned in that article (Datacore Storage Virtualization) sat down with WeGotServed yesterday and chatted a little bit about WHSv2 and the company's plan. http://www.wegotserved.com/2011/02/16/datacores-storage-virtualization-replace-drive-extender/

Hrm...looks like they pulled the article. Part of me was very curious how the OEMs left in the WHS market were going to adapt to building their machines without DE. The other part of me is in love with all the contradiction. I agree that RAID isn't a consumer (nor a backup) technology and...

Not a bad deal. Looks like I'm going to hover around eBay to snipe some deals. Sadly, I've got stuff coming that I have to deal with on the real life side of the house so it looks like my time in the lab is going to be limited. If I can get something to work, you'll be the first to hear about it.

I can definitely see where that setup would be a pain. Hrm, too bad I can't get a grant to test these kinds of hardware setups. Worse yet is a budget nazi looking over my shoulder. Right now, I'm perusing using Solaris as a host OS and using VMware WS to run WHS as the VM (at least on paper)...

Thanks for the reply Patrick. I'll try to play around on my sandbox rig when I can get the chance. Here's the web page that got the gears going - http://hub.opensolaris.org/bin/view/User+Group+qosug/zfs_iscsi_integration Something I've been thinking about - how about in a dual box setup...

Looking for some input on the software side of things, namely how feasible is it to make ZFS and WHSv2 play nicely with each other. Sorry in advance if I don't come across clearly, as I'm still learning about all this. Basically, I want to leverage ZFS to handle the storage end of the house...
