> No 'home user' needs shrink. I strongly disagree with this.
The ability to shrink can be useful in many specific situations, but in the more general sense, and this is in particular for home use, it allows you to plan much less rigidly. You can add/remove drives left and right at your leasure and won't work yourself into a corner with regards to drive sizes, lack of drive connectivity, or drive interfaces as you can always perform an incremental migration/upgrade/downgrade. > Every professional datacenter needs shrink. Perhaps at some level. At the level of having 1-20 semi-structured servers with 5-20 or so terrabytes each, you probably don't need is all that much - even if it would be nice (speaking from experience). -- / Peter Schuller PGP userID: 0xE9758B7D or 'Peter Schuller <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>' Key retrieval: Send an E-Mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] E-Mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.scode.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
