There's no point trying to accelerate your disks if you're only going to use a single client over gigabit. Assuming you've got some sort of nontrivial server infrastructure, and you've got many clients doing things simultaneously and more than 1Gb network connection, then it can become worth while. Also, if you do work on the physical server on local disks, that can also be worth while. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
