Is EON ZFS Storage still being developed?

It sounds pretty cool ... how's the current state with PKGSRC / pkgin doing?

I probably wouldn't be able to import my FreeNAS 10 pool, would I ...?

Thanks!

Current state is testing/prepping next version based on OmniOS possibly hipster time permits. I tried SmartOS as the community requested but have not been able to develop a repeatable, stable build.

pkgsrc is very nice, fast, with over 15000 packages(see example video http://eonstorage.blogspot.com/). It is built, updated and maintained by the SmartOS/joyent.

You should be able to import the unless something strange or wrong with the pool. To be safe try and read only import.

Hope that helps

I am about to do an upgrade from 

SunOS _SERVER_ 5.11 oi_151a i86pc i386 i86pc

I am thinking I need to do a "transport.sh" pointing to the downloaded .iso and it will upgrade my embedded image, then run a updimg.sh to update it the image and reboot should have be running on the latest stable.

how about the latest binary kit how to I install that? I have a binkit that is quite now, i have a binkit installed in /tank/local and /usr/local is symlinked into that.

It's been quite a while since I wrote that first message, but I went with OmniOS, have been using for past year and a half from a Napp-it01 OVA, started on 151028 and am now on 151032 on an E5-2650 v4 24-thread server w/ 8x4TB SAS mirrored ZFS array (two 4x4TB pools).

Most stable OS I have in my homelab, use it exclusively for file serving - I set it all up with 'zfs share{smb,nfs}=on pool/datastorename' 

SMB shares to Win domain network w/ Windows, Linux and FreeBSD clients 

NFS shares to vSphere/ESXi hosts (either internal vSwitch, or across 10GbE)

One share is even an NFS datastore being used by a Windows Server 2019 VM so it appears to be a local disk, which I use for recording 5 cameras in Milestone XProtect VMS, handles 1x4MP, 2x5MP and 2x8MP cameras at 15-20FPS without so much as a hiccup.

On top of that, I use another NFS datastore for a 'local' ZFS pool inside an Alpine Linux VM for recording HDHomeRun TV streams, up to 6 at a time nearly 24x7 and stream out to 2 TVs and several portable devices  (I'm a news junkie).  

OmniOS has been so stupid stable that I barely even touch it, it just works in the background serving files alllll the time.

I still use FreeBSD w 4x8TB SATA drives for my automated backups on another ESXi host, as I was using FreeBSD prior to OmniOS and there wasn't any reason to change, but I might do so eventually.  They're both really good for ZFS storage, but Illumos has FreeBSD beat for sure.  Have tried lots of ZoL releases on several distros, not a huge fan as of yet.
