I saw that, so I think I'll be waiting until snv_124 to update. The system that I'm thinking of using currently only has mirrored vdevs however, so it shouldn't be any risk. Something like one of the following seems reasonable to add a few drives to an existing system, although eSATA just seems like a bad idea for a number of reasons: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816132016 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16816111057 A good use that I can see is combining a Intel D945GCLF2 board with a case that has more that 2 drive bays, using an internal PMP. One of the systems I have is an Atom board in a small Chenbro 2-bay case, which gives surprisingly good performance and is . There is a 4-bay version available but lack of SATA ports on the motherboard kept me from using it. http://www.cooldrives.com/siseata5pomu.html http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811123122 -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
