+1. Even if someone needs larger disk space, then it means system going to withstand bigger/larger stream, thus they'd better probably switch to 64bit and think about better hardware anyway. Just try to imagine $100 price Atom-based Eee PC, running 1.6GHz clockspeed with 1GB RAM, yet with 48 USB external hard drives hooked... :-) > If someone running a 32bit system is angry because they can't waste a 1.5 TB > seagate disk as the boot drive, then I'll admit I don't understand something > in their requirements. What is the specific complaint please? LOL The only specific complaint must be related to preventing people from defective Slashdot brainwash that sways them towards amateurish presumptions... -- Kind regards, bm _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
