I have been looking for an eSATA+port multiplier+ZFS solution. Looks like I must use Solaris/OpenSolaris for the most robust/mature ZFS implementation, but the issue has been finding reports that make me feel safe before buying all this hardware... Doesn't seem like many people have done this yet (or at least they're not getting Googled...) Thanks Is there an update to this?

So far I've gotten things partially installed and have found weird occurences of intermittent freeze of the sata controller.. I'll be posting more of my progress once I've done more thorough test\troubleshooting on my problem to be able to properly describe it... (and of course only if there's anyone out there interested w/ this info). Cheers, JS Links: http://www.raidon.com.tw/sohoraid%20sr3610.htm http://www.raidon.com.tw/sohotank%20st6600.htm I’m on the same track as you are w/ the home NAS box :)

My ingredients:

Shuttle SFF SN25p (Athlon X2, 2GB)
IOI PCI-e 1x SATA II Card (Sil 3132)
Raidon SR-3620 (2 bay RAID-1/0 external sata enclosure)
Raidon ST-6600 (5 bay external sata enclosure, w/ port multiplier)
