Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS conflict with MAID?

I think most MAID is sold as a (misguided IMHO) replacement for Tape, not as a Tier 1 kind of storage. YMMV. -- mark John Kunze wrote: > My organization is considering an RFP for MAID storage and we're > wondering about potential conflicts between MAID and ZFS. > > We want MAID's power management
