Remember to disable write cache unless you have battery backup, unless you really want to try out ZFS's famous corruption-recovery algorithms by personal experience. //Svein -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.12 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkuqOdEACgkQSBMQn1jNM7bbEgCcDN3sEs1wDI86l04ch0eUZ3yw BL8AmgIJ6uaiuqPX2nelqR645rn4IuyW =trHb -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
