I suggest you look at using a JBOD such as the J4500 instead. http://www.sun.com/storage/disk_systems/expansion/4500/index.xml That way, ZFS can do the right thing without someone else's hardware RAID getting in the way. -- Andrew _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
