So, Sun's hardware respects flushes, and thus should not torture zfs. That's
good to know.

No way to attach qualified arrays to 7110 too ? I'm considering getting a
7110, configuring it in a mirrored configuration resulting in 1TB, which is
not too big these days. It would have been perfect to be able to attach a
Sun array to it as expansion when more space is needed. Jumping to a 7210 is
needlessly expensive in my case. Thanks for your answers though

Thanks and Best Regards
