You should all but make it emphatically clear that using ZFS on any of these configurations would be pointless. Unless it's a 64-bit processor, with lots of memory, and lots of bandwidth, ZFS performance will be less than pleasant. UFS definitely as the target filesystem. -- Shawn Walker, Software and Systems Analyst binarycrusader at gmail.com - http://binarycrusader.blogspot.com/ "Beware of bugs in the above code; I have only proved it correct, not tried it.
