A question: why do you want to use HW raid together with ZFS? I thought ZFS performing better if it was in total control? Would the results have been better if no HW raid controller, and only ZFS? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-dis

At this point, ZFS is performing admirably with the Areca card. Also, that card is only 8-port, and the Areca controllers I have are 12-port. My chassis has 24 SATA bays, so being able to cover all the drives with 2 controllers is preferable. Also, the driver for the Areca controllers is bein

Ross, No need to apologize... Many of us work hard to make sure good ZFS information is available so a big thanks for bringing this wiki page to our attention. Playing with UFS on ZFS is one thing but even inexperienced admins need to know this kind of configuration will provide poor performance
