[OmniOS-discuss] [SPAM] Re: Preconfigured distributable OmniOS NAS with mirrorred USB sticks

[alka]

I avoided USB with Solaris for a long time due to performance and reliability problems. 
Modern USB sticks are fast and reliable especially when combined to a ZFS mirror

Now I am more and more convinced, that booting a ZFS SAN is best done via mirrorred USB sticks.
No other method is as flexible and serious boot problems can be fixed without delay using a spare stick.

Even updates are painles. Use a spare stick, configure on a spare machine and updates are only a reboot with another stick.

With modern sticks, I do not see the need of a redirect of folders with some write activity  to RAM like SmartOS or EON are doing.
Keep it simple, keep it default.
