		<description><![CDATA[I have been very gung-ho about OpenSolaris in the past. There are some fantastic technologies in it. Unfortunately, when Oracle bought Sun they essentially killed the openness of OpenSolaris. There are so many who believed in it and the code was mostly open source. Now we have something new. Let&#8217;s see how OpenIndiana goes. I also hope Oracle continues support for the excellent Open Storage appliances (now called Unified Storage&#8230; guess openness scares Oracle. Our little one has been a huge workhorse.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The following post is from someone who has used ZFS on his home fileserver for a year. It is very well-written and I recommend it to anyone considering doing this. http://breden.org.uk/2009/05/01/home-fileserver-a-year-in-zfs/ Click here for a listing of all his posts on ZFS]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Due to a power failure, my NAS device was powered down. When the connection failed, the icon used to represent the NAS changed. Normally it looks like a rack-mounted XServe, but when the connection was lost it showed up as an old-school CRT monitor with a Windows blue screen of death (BSOD). Here&#8217;s a screenshot: This is how the NAS normally appears: To see how to customize the icon used on Mac OS for a UPNP-advertised device, please read the earlier post: Using MDNS to advertise OpenSolaris NAS to Mac computers]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Since I&#8217;m using consumer drives that are prone to failure (one already failed within 2 days, but ZFS prevented any data loss). I am using the script located here: http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScripts/zpadmin.txt. This will script allows for regular monitoring and scrubs of the pool with email alerting. These next bunch of steps may not be necessary for everyone. I&#8217;m essentially setting up sendmail to use a smarthost. Even if you do need to use a smarthost, there may be an easier way by just modifying one line in the script. Set smarthost for sendmail email delivery since ATT blocks outgoing port 25 on home DSL connections. Steps learned from: http://www.elandsys.com/resources/sendmail/ http://wiki.xdroop.com/space/sendmail/smart+host+ports http://www.dslreports.com/faq/11247 Edited sendmail.mc cd /usr/lib/mail/cf nano sendmail.mc This line only needed if relay not using port 25: define(`RELAY_MAILER_ARGS', `TCP $h 587')dnl Added: define(`RELAY_MAILER',`esmtp')dnl define(`SMART_HOST', `relay:[SmartHostAddressGoesHere]')dnl Commented out by adding # the followng line: #define(`confFALLBACK_SMARTHOST', `mailhost$?m.$m$.')dnl Then at the command line: m4 /usr/lib/mail/m4/cf.m4 sendmail.mc > /etc/mail/sendmail.cf Restarted sendmail svcadm restart sendmail Then I had to get the script working: Steps taken: Created a directory called scripts downloaded the script renamed it set it to be executable edited settings scheduled with cron mkdir /scripts cd /scripts wget http://www.sun.com/bigadmin/scripts/submittedScripts/zpadmin.txt mv zpadmin.txt zpadmin.pl chmod ug+x [...]]]></description>

		<title>Using MDNS to advertise OpenSolaris NAS to Mac computers</title>

		<description><![CDATA[This step is not necessary, but it seems like a good idea if you have Mac computers. Create the XML files that tell MDNS what to advertise. (Found this information from here, here, and here. Create /etc/avahi/services/smb.service with the following content: &#60;?xml version="1.0" standalone='no'?&#62;&#60;!--*-nxml-*--&#62; &#60;!DOCTYPE service-group SYSTEM "avahi-service.dtd"&#62; &#60;service-group&#62; &#60;name replace-wildcards="yes"&#62;%h&#60;/name&#62; &#60;service&#62; &#60;type&#62;_device-info._tcp&#60;/type&#62; &#60;port&#62;548&#60;/port&#62; &#60;txt-record&#62;model=RackMac&#60;/txt-record&#62; &#60;/service&#62; &#60;service&#62; &#60;type&#62;_smb._tcp&#60;/type&#62; &#60;port&#62;445&#60;/port&#62; &#60;/service&#62; &#60;/service-group&#62; The service that contains &#60;txt-record&#62;model=RackMac&#60;/txt-record&#62; is only there so that on Mac computers the NAS shows up as an XServe server. Enable mdns and the avahi-bridge-dsd service: svcadm enable dns/multicast svcadm enable avahi-bridge-dsd I had to reboot the NAS after doing this before MDNS started working and properly advertising. This is how the NAS appears on the Macs: Edit (08/16/2011): Changed SMB port from 139 to 445 in the xml file example to make this work with Mac OS X Lion. Thanks to this post on lime-technology.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I got my inspiration for this project from reading the following posts on Adam Retter&#8217;s blog: In need of Open Storage Choosing Software and Hardware for my DIY NAS Building my DIY NAS I particularly liked that he made every attempt to make the NAS energy efficient. The hardware he chose made sense, so I essentially bought the same parts he used. Part suppliers used: NewEgg OrbitMicro NewEgg has been a great supplier. I use them often and have always been provided great service. One of my hard drives went bad within two days and they made the RMA process painless. Lucky for me ZFS saved the day and I did not lose any data. OrbitMicro provided excellent service as well. This post does not cover the parts used or steps for assembling the NAS. Please use the steps on Adam Retter&#8217;s blog. The posts are linked above. Here are the steps that I took to set up OpenSolaris and turn it into a storage server for the house. Downloaded and burned the OpenSolaris iso. I used version 2009.06 which was current at the time of writing. Downloads are available from http://www.opensolaris.com/get/ Tweaked BIOS settings: Disabled all Serial ports Enabled [...]]]></description>
