I'd love to use OpenSolaris for exactly those reasons, but I'm wary of using an operating system that may not continue to be updated/maintained. If OpenSolaris had continued to be regularly released after Oracle bought Sun I'd be choosing it. As it is, I don't want to be pessimistic, but the doubt about OpenSolaris's future is enough to make me choose FreeBSD instead. (I'm sure that such sentiments won't make me popular here, but so far Oracle has been frustratingly silent on their plans for OpenSolaris.) At the very least, if FreeBSD doesn't do what I want I can switch the system disk to OpenSolaris and keep using the same pool. (Right?) Going back to my original question: does anyone know of any problems that could be caused by using raidz on top of encrypted drives? If there were a physical read error, which would get amplified by the encryption layer (if I'm understanding full-disk encryption correctly, which I may not be), would ZFS still be able to recover? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
