What do you mean by cannot scale? Is it common to not use the majority of disks available to a system?

It would be nice to be able to move disks around when a system is powered off and not have to worry about a "cache" when I boot. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
