That is not my understanding. I'm curious if you have anything to support that. I believe that netapp came out with storevault to try to capture the SMB section of the market, as they tried to do with the f87. > The things that attract me to this product are - low cost (sata disks, 12 > slots) - snapshotting - dual parity - expand on the fly. I think you can > get snapshotting from sun, but can you do dualparity or expand on the fly? I'm fairly sure that zfs supports all of that. Though zfs machines are more roll-your-own than storevault. seph _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
