[OpenIndiana-discuss] RAIDZ2 root pool install fun :-(

[Reginald Beardsley]

With the information in the link John posted I was able to get Hipster 2020.10 to install into a RAIDZ2 pool using almost all of the 4 TB disks via the text installer on the GUI Live Image. There's a 250 MB "SYSTEM" slice on each disk, but that's about $0.01 USD today. 

I still need to deal with installing the correct nVIDIA driver and there is something strange going on with the USB keyboard and mouse. Even when I plugged them in directly without the KVM switch one or the other would become non-responsive.

But for the first 6-7 hours with a new system I'm *very* pleased to have gotten so far.

But I *really* don't like those long winded disk names.

Have Fun!
