[AusNOG] RS2BL080 Raid Controller / LSI2108

+10 for ZFS, as long as you have ECC RAM.

And you can’t understate the fact that building a ZFS pool takes seconds, not days. Importing a pool takes longer though.

It looks like there's someone new to whom I need to show my 'ZFS; Everything you never wanted to know, but now are going to be forced to find out' presentation.

It's subtitled 'Hardware RAID: Why it hates you and wants to eat your data'.

Thanks to everyone that responded, after rebooting the system, what
feels like 1000 times, the card finally responded and has booted so I am
