The rule is: protect your data first, then worry about the other ways to protect your data. Also, be aware that b111 has what I call, "the iSCSI performance pit of hell." You will not get good iSCSI operation from that release. I'd advise that you move forward or backward a few releases or look at one of the more modern releases (b111 is almost 2 years old). I am biased towards NexentaStor, but there are several other distributions that can work for you. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
