Hi! I'm running a OSOL box for quite a while and I think ZFS is an amazing filesystem. As a computer I use a Apple MacMini with USB and FireWire devices attached. Unfortunately the USB and sometimes the FW devices just die, causing the whole system to stall, forcing me to do a hard reboot.
I had the worst experience with an USB-SATA bridge running an Oxford chipset, in a way that the four external devices stalled randomly within a day or so. I switched to a four slot raid box, also with USB bridge, but with better reliability. Well, I wonder what are the components to build a stable system without having an enterprise solution: eSATA, USB, FireWire, FibreChannel?
