[OmniOS-discuss] Where to Run Omni

[Matthew Mabis]

Hello,

I have a few questions about a project that i am trying to work on, needless to say i have 1 80GB SSD Drive that i can fit in this case, the rest of the drives are a RaidZ2 configuration and there cannot be anymore added Disks to this system period!

My goal is to make the SSD capable of making NFS run better (Slog/ZIL/L2ARC) whatever... but i need the OS to go somewhere!  

My Questions are

1) Splitting the SSD into partitions and running is that bad i always heard it was my question is why?
2) Can Omni be run from say a 32GB USB3 key directly?
3) What options do i have here outside of adding a drive.

I have SATA Slots on the mobo just no place to add an additional drive!
