We use ZFS for critical data and are quite happy with it. I've been using it in production since 8.1-R and have yet to have a problem. Make sure you do your zpool scrubs regularly. I use a cron job. We are currently migrating our customer RAID arrays to ZFS to ameliorate the multi-hour FSCK situations. -- Dave Robison Sales Solution Architect II FIS Banking Solutions 510/621-2089 (w) 530/518-5194 (c) 510/621-2020 (f) da...@vicor.com david.robi...@fisglobal.com _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
