You say "using a FreeBSD box I can set up ZFS over the drives...", which doesn't make sense, if I undestand the ICC system. The device appears to be an NAS system, with an OS, not an external disk bay. What you would want, I think, is either a) an external FCAL or iSCSI box that you could connect to another machine (running FreeBSD or some other OS); or b) a 'storage' server upon which to install FreeBSD and use as a NAS system. It may be that the ICC system can export the drives, but it seems like an unnecessary complication. -- greg byshenk - gbysh...@byshenk.net - Leiden, NL _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
