And Robert already noted that they've occurred in his mid-range arrays. In both cases, however, you're talking about decidedly non-consumer hardware, and had you looked more carefully at the material to which you were responding you would have found that its comments were in the context of experiences with consumer hardware (and in particular what *quantitative* level of additional protection ZFS's 'special sauce' can be considered to add to its reliability). Errors introduced by mid-range and high-end arrays don't enter into that discussion (though they're interesting for other reasons). - bill This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
