Log:
We believe ZFS is ready for production use. Remove a warning about it being
 experimental. :)
This is great news! Is this amd64 only (or i386 too)? How about non-x86 architectures (have people tested on sparc64, ppc, etc)?

I do most of my tests on i386 with 1GB of RAM. It isn't optimal hardware
configuration for ZFS, but it seems to work fine in most cases. For the
other archs I think I tried sparc64 in the past and Marcel committed
some fixes so it can work on ia64. When it comes to powerpc, arm, mips,
etc. I haven't done any testing and I wouldn't recommend ZFS for those
archs anyway. We should probably also warn about that.


Thank you for the explanation. ppc has support for Xserve if I recall (or perhaps in process); that should be suitable. I was mostly trying to understand which arch's zfs has been successfully deployed on.
