its interesting to read this with another thread containing: > timeout issue is definitely the WD10EARS disks. > replaced 24 of them with ST32000542AS (f/w CC34), and the problem departed with the WD disks. everyone needs to eat, if Ferrari spreads their NRE over the wheels, it might be because they are light and have been tested to not melt from the heat. Sun/EMC/Dell/Netapp tests each of their components and sells the total "car". I'm thankful Sun shares their research and we can build on it. (btw, netapp ontap 8 is freebsd, and runs on std hardware after alittle bios work :-) Rob _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
