Probably not ECC and we keep running out of DDR3 as that's in demand. If anyone has upgraded to a DDR4 system and has some spare DDR3 RAM then please donate it. > For lvm and mdadm, last I checked the best advice was to use LVM on top of > mdadm.

For a single user system it's usually better to avoid quotas but use separate ZFS filesystems for different purposes. Then if the zpool runs low on space you can just run "df -h" to see where it's being used. You don't really want programs to start crashing because some filesystem has run out of space while others have plenty. -- My Main Blog http://etbe.coker.com.au/ My Documents Blog http://doc.coker.com.au/ _______________________________________________ luv-main mailing list [email protected] https://lists.luv.asn.au/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/luv-main
