thanks for your feedback. actually, it`s also this mail which scares me to use opensolaris 32bit:

Posted: Aug 6, 2008 10:59 PM in response to: Thomas Garner To: Communities » zfs » discuss In the most recent code base (both OpenSolaris/Nevada and S10Ux with patches) all the known marvell88sx problems have long ago been dealt with. However, I've said this before. Solaris on 32-bit platforms has problems and is not to be trusted. There are far, far too many places in the source code where a 64-bit object is either loaded or stored without any atomic locking occurring which could result in any number of wrong and bad behaviors. ZFS has some problems of this sort, but so does some of the low level 32-bit x86 code. The problem was reported long ago, but to the best of my knowledge the issues have not been addressed. Looking below it appears that nothing has been done for about 9 months. --------------------- furthermore, i have read several times, that 64bit solaris should preferred under all circumstances. that is a user`s opinion, but how does SUN think about that ? -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list opensolaris-discuss@opensolaris.org
