I really don't know much about ZFS, but I do know about disks (I work on SAS device drivers for AIX and deal with lots of disks); and I doubt that any filesystem is going to be immune to sudden power failures when writing to a disk. At least I wouldn't trust them. If you care about the integrity of your data, I would reconsider your plans about the UPS. -- Bob Willcox Trying to explain things to people who already know b...@immure.com everything is like trying to teach a bear to dance; Austin, TX it's useless, and it annoys the bear. _______________________________________________ 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"
