I had to look up MAID, first link Google gave me was http://www.closetmaid.com/ which doesn't seem right ... MAID seems to be a form of HSM, using powered down disk rather than tape for the offline data. I've had poor experience with HSM solutions in the past (only using 1/4 the capacity of tapes, not repacking onto fewer tapes, losing indexes, etc.) but that was several years ago and things may have improved. (I think it was Legato's product running under Linux, but I'm not certain.) I can't think of any reason that something like this wouldn't work with ZFS, though the ACLs may not get saved. -B -- Brandon High [EMAIL PROTECTED] "The good is the enemy of the best." - Nietzsche _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
