Interesting. Usually the problems make their way to this list more than the successes. Glad to hear it! BTW, ZFS just saved my skin tonight after I botched an OpenNMS upgrade and was able to go back to my auto-snapshots :) And there was a power failure earlier that took down a bunch of hosts that rely on our multi-terabyte ZFS filer, as well as the filer itself - no waiting around for fsck, thanks!
