I can't comment, since I haven't used the option before on VM Ware Server or Workstation. I would expect that it would be a better solution, however the host operating system's controller driver would still be used. Other than that, the host system's i/o system and caching should not be in the data path at all. You could take the drive out and install them in a new machine and it would look just like a native disk. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
