Hmm, an unexpected question IMHO - wouldn't it better to just install FreeBSD on the hardware? :-) If an original poster is using Linux as a host OS, then probably he has some very good reason to do that. But performance and etc -wise, directly using FreeBSD, of course, should win over fuse-zfs. Right? [Installing and maintaining one OS instead of two is the first thing that comes to mind] -- Andriy Gapon _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
