okay so since this is fixed, Chris, would you consider using USB/FW now?
I am desperate to replace a server that is failing and I want to replace it with a proper quiet ZFS-based solution, I hate being held captive by NTFS issues (it may have corrupted my data now a second time) ZFS's checksumming + storage pooling is what I want to get going. If anyone else has ideas for quiet easily expandable storage I'd be willing to listen to any ideas. Off-list is fine as is on-list. On 3/20/07, Phi Tran <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
