While hot-spare support is currently lacking I can't agree that SW RAID is inferior to HW RAID - actually the opposite in many situations. I see that the customer is considering x4500 - so no centralized SAN solution is needed. The other factor is what is his workload and what kind of RAID is he going to use? With raid-z he/she should keep in mind that random reads on raid-z won't give stellar performance, while writes will. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
