Any way to tell ZFS that these drives are of "lower quality" and shouldn't be kicked out as faulted so quickly? I personally setup my home server to use OpenSolaris so I could have ZFS safeguard my data. I am willing to trade away performance for more stability, and less "yes that drive is perfectly fine" type management. I'm also willing to have more redundancy and less storage with the same number of drives, but that has to wait until I have enough unused drives to setup a new pool with the new options (either raidz3 or full mirroring) and copy over as there is no method to make this change inplace. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
