Yes indeed! I can't afford to test everything carefully. Like most people, I read published reports and listen to conversations places like this, and form an impression of what performs how. Then I do some testing to verify that something I'm seriously considering produces satisfactory performance. The key there is "satisfactory"; I'm not looking for the "best", I'm looking for something that fits in and is satisfactory. The more unusual my requirements, and the better defined, the less I can gain from studying outside test reports. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
