Re: [zfs-discuss] Recovering an array on Mac

Hi-- Here's the scoop, in probably too much detail: I'm a sucker for new filesystems and new tech in general. For you old- time Mac people, I installed Sequoia when it was first seeded, and had to reformat my drive several times as it grew to the final release. I flipped the "journaled" fla

A solid/de-bugged 3124 driver would go a long way to ZFS-enabling a bunch of cost- constrained ZFS users. And, while I'm working this hardware wish list, please ... a PCI- Express based version of the SuperMicro AOC-SAT2-MV8 8-port Marvell based disk controller card. Sun ... are you list
