The OP in question is not running his network clients on Solaris or OpenSolaris or FreeBSD or MacOSX, but rather a collection of Linux workstations. Unless there's been a recent port of ZFS to Linux, that makes a big What. Given the fact that NFS, as implemented in his client systems, provides no end-to-end reliability, the only data protection that ZFS has any control over is after the write() is issued by the NFS server process. --Joe _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
