Yes that's true, but all I wanted to say is: "If there is infinite of money there can be infinite redundancy" All the things you mentioned can be accompished by having enough money. Home users will end up with having a mirrored vdev in a "server" with non ECC RAM (IMHO ECC is also a type of redundancy). Multi billion enterprises have redundant datacenters with multiple storage arrays (another kind of redundancy). Missing time to administer the redundancy can also be compensatet with "enough mone" (hire more people). Redundancy is no rocket sience...there is enough knowledge out there to set up another level of redundancy (I am not speaking of clustering, which can indeed be limited). There is not too-much-redundancy...only a reasonable amount for your type of business needs. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
