Depends on what kind of performance you need. > I have an old Bipro Xeon server (6 GB ram , 6 disks), > and I would like to do a raidz with 4 disks with Solaris 10 update 4. The issue with 32 bit kernels is the amount of virtual address space available and the impact this has on allowing the ARC to be as big as needed. I run ZFS on a 32 bit AMD Athlon 900MHz with 640Mb RAM and it works just fine for me - but then it for me it is just an NFS and web (and webdav) server for home (serving iTunes, iPhoto locally and my website to the internet). -- Darren J Moffat _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
