Well, this can be a pretty deep topic for a monday morning :-) In my experience, the approach and solution for "remote mirroring" really depends on two things: 1. are you doing disaster recovery, versus mirroring diversity? 2. how far apart are the mirrored devices? Without answering those questions first, you will risk a suboptimal solution. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
