ZFS - no thanks!

2007-08-11 Thread Wojciech Puchar
just ended testing. after having all my data (test system fortunately) on ZFS including root, i lost /boot partition, which was on pendrive to make testing easier. well - no problem - i've started my normal 6.2 syste, got bootonly CD, removed mfsroot, added (as on ZFS system)

ZFS - no thanks! - few more words

for those who got much better experience with ZFS and for everyone else using anything: please do remember - no RAID hardware or software, no zfs, no anything is a replacement for REGULAR BACKUPS done on removable media or different machine. in second case at least sometimes it should be done

Hi Wojciech, let me start with pointing out that ZFS is still an experimental feature. Secondly, this is the wrong list, because ZFS is a feature of FreeBSD-CURRENT. Adding freebsd-current to CC, maybe one of the ZFS developers can give their $0.02. On 11/08/07, Wojciech Puchar [EMAIL PROTECTED]
