Having finally gotten the time to read through this entire thread, I think Ralf
said it best. ZFS can provide data integrity, but you're reliant on hardware
and drivers for data availability.
In this case either your SATA controller, or the drivers for it don't cope at

Hmm... You know, that's a good question. I'm not sure if those SATA II ports
support hot swap or not. The motherboard is fairly new, but taking a look at

Howdy yall,
Earlier this month I downloaded and installed the latest copy of OpenSolaris
(2008.05) so that I could test out some of the newer features I've heard so
much about, primarily ZFS.
My goal was to replace our aging linux-based (SuSE 10.1) file and media server
with a new machine run
