Hi Bohdan, that bug was fixed in build 54 of Solaris Nevada, I'm not sure why bugs.opensolaris.org is showing it as still being unfixed. My only problems with USB-attached storage and Solaris have been due to the actual disks in my enclosures dying. (Most recently, just as I was about to deliver a ZFS demo to a large customer. *very annoying*!) If I didn't have SAS or eSATA available to me, I'd be going to USB-attached storage without any qualms. As long as the disk inside the enclosure was 3.5" - those laptop hard disks still aren't quite there, imnsho. cheers, James C.
