It sounds like people -can- build larger pools but due to their storage needs (performance, availability, etc) choose NOT to. For home usage with maybe 4 clients maximum and can deal with downtime when swapping out a drive, I think I can live with "decent" performance (not "insane") and try to maximize my space (without making ZFS's redundancy features useless.) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
