剛剛看到這個消息:First OpenSolaris ARM release
專案網址:OpenSolaris Project: ARM Platform Port
而且支援ZFS喔, 看來以後embedded system 的OS又多一個選擇了.

Nexenta 是一個以OpenSolaris 為核心, 以Ubuntu為使用者介面的作業系統.
Nexenta目標是想要有Solaris般的穩定, 以及Linux般的容易上手。
ZFS及iSCSI的支援也是Nexenta最吸引人的地方. 所以呢, 拿它來當做ZFS base的NAS, 是最恰當的了.

Nexenta Core Platform 2.0 具有以下特點:
#OpenSolaris build 104+ based with critical patches.
# Over 13000 packages in the repository.
# Based on Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) repository
# This includes latest dpkg/apt, gcc, binutils, coreutils, perl, python, ruby, Qt libs, GTK libs, etc
# SMF support added for server applications like apache, mysql, postgresql, exim4, etc.
# 100% native Debian environment, easy to upgrade, easy to use
# Includes Vim and screen by default
# Addition of latest devzone version to the CD.
# Includes apt-clone which brings zfs power to apt-get.

想要試試的人, 可以到http://www.nexenta.org/os/Download下載來玩玩.

我目前的想法是:
在家裏的file server(使用opensolaris and ZFS) create a ZFS Volume as iSCSI Target
然後在另外一台電腦中執行VirtualBox, 因為VirtualBox 有支援iSCSI, as Vdi disk.
嘿嘿!! 那這個Virtual Machine的Image file 就可以享受ZFS 的保護啦!!

先參考這裡:
http://breden.org.uk/2008/03/12/home-fileserver-backups/
(1) Create a ZFS Volume, then set shareiscsi=on
#zfs create -V 30G fspool/iscsi_hdd
#zfs set shareiscsi=on fspool/iscsi_hdd

(2) Enable the Solaris iSCSI Target service
# svcadm enable system/iscsitgt

(3) 用下列指令看看有沒有做成功
# iscsitadm list target -v
