An additional point here: to an extent this depends on what you're going to be using the system for. I've got an old 733Mhz PentiumIII machine running the latest Nevada build, which happily runs ZFS -- it gets used as a simple backup via rsync server once a month or so, and happily manages ~180gb of data. cheers, tim -- Tim Foster, Sun Microsystems Inc, Operating Platforms Group Engineering Operations http://blogs.sun.com/timf _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
