Well, here's my previous summary off list to different solaris folk (regarding NFS serving via ZFS and iSCSI): I want to use ZFS as a NAS with no bounds on the backing hardware (not restricted to one boxes capacity). Thus, there are two options: FC SAN or iSCSI. In my case, I have multi-building c

Hello list, I've read about your fascinating new fs implementation, ZFS. I've seen alot - nbd, lvm, evms, pvfs2, gfs, ocfs - and I have to say: I'm quite impressed! I'd set up a few of my boxes to OpenSolaris for storage (using Linux and lvm right now - offers pooling, but no built-in fault-tol
