Mike The only way to be sure is to test it , I've read at 7.2 it has reached stability. As long as there is no recovery tool for ZFS it cannot be treated safe. In SUNs theory it just can't fail - which is nonsense unless machines are perfect and you'll never experience hardware problems.

Could you use several large hard drives each with several partitions that each have one filesystem? With eight drives and eight partitions on each, you would multiply the maximum total number of inodes by 256. Mike -- Michael David Crawford m...@prgmr.com prgmr.com - We Don't Assume You

At this point you're sort of out of the general-use category :) You want ZFS. Or rather, you don't want to try and fsck a UFS filesystem with 200M inodes. The three drawbacks I can think of to ZFS are it's hard to boot ZFS is very trendy now, but isn't it allocating space in 4KB chunks?
