I'm currently using SXCE with eSATA (with an LSI controller) and SAS disks in my home boxes and they run just fine. The only glitch I had after LU-upgrading to the latest release is eSATA disk not spinning down any longer when idle.
I export file systems with NFS to my Macs: beware that Mac OS X uses decomposed UTF-8 characters and sometimes I have some portability issues when file names contain, for example, accented characters. It runs fine and pretty better than CIFS, IMHO. In some case I use an OS X iSCSI initiator and Comstar: it runs fine and it's the only solution I found if you need, for example, to use time machine upon a ZFS volume. Bye, Enrico -- Enrico M.
