The Obvious Question: how does it compare to the Silver ed.?

Post by tommythorn » Sun Sep 16, 2012 12:39 am

Thanks for the support.

I looked around but didn't see the answer (it really should be on the front page IMO): how does the community version compare to the Zevo Silver edition?

The two major limitations limiting the use of my Silver edition license are lack of Spotlight support and encryption.

Are there any progress there?

Also, is it feasible/practical to use an [automounted?] ZFS volume for a single user's home directory?

Thanks
Tommy

ZEVO Setup Assistant 1.0.3 (2012.03.21) is neither included with, nor removed by, the installer for ZEVO Community Edition 1.1.

storage capacity

Storage capacity will be limited to 16 TB as the impact of a larger pool with limited RAM has not been evaluated …

Off-topic from comparisons

Home directory with ZEVO 1.1

Yes, but in my case (using Core Storage to encrypt both the startup volume and my home directory) for the mount, it's necessary to log in, just briefly, as a different user.

Thanks Graham. I think RAIDZ is another difference.

Thanks for the hint on encryption, I'll need to investigate that.
