strange, was not really my experience... before i used backuppc, i used a hand made rsync script on a solaris with ZFS and during the backups the machine as dog slow and trying to use the ZFS filesystem took seconds and even minutes...but still had free ram (about 2GB) maybe because i had just 2 HDs and for several times i manage to fill 100% the ZFS (i found that with 0 bytes free, you cant delete anything, just a echo > big_file would help there). it was still too new and buggy for sure, and i probably stressed too much that poor XFS :) i gave up that ZFS and script after a powerlost and the ZFS didnt come online no matter what i did... after 2 days of unsuccessful tries, i installed backuppc. cya higuita -- Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country. -- Hermann Goering, Nazi and war criminal, 1883-1946
