Hi to all! Has anything progressed on this?
I'm actually building it by hand on a couple of 7.1 machines. I expect it will be interesting. I still look forward to the port. :-) Thank you!

I'll have to see if I saved any of my work. I actually had a working port, but I may have dumped it. I will be happy to submit it if I can find it. I just don't know that I will be able to maintain it. A couple of notes from what I found: 1. It does not yet integrate with FreeBSD's implementation of ZFS (at least not in 7.x) due to the lack of ACL support. You can use it with a UFS partition or a UFS zvol. (Using a zvol requires a patch pjd@ recommended for performance improvements.) 2. Performance in my setup was not very good over 2x1Gb LAGG. It might be better over a faster, dedicated channel of some type. - Jim The information contained in this email message and its attachments is intended only for the private and confidential use of the recipient(s) named above, unless the sender expressly agrees otherwise.
