I feel your pain. Although your harddrive will suffer by the extra seeks, I would suggest you to partition your HD in two spaces and mount a two-way ZFS mirror between them. If space is an issue, you can use N partitions to mount a raid-z, but your performance will suffer a lot because any data read would require N seeks. - -- Jesus Cea Avion _/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/_/ [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.argo.es/~jcea/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ jabber / xmpp:[EMAIL PROTECTED] _/_/ _/_/ _/_/_/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "Things are not so easy" _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "My name is Dump, Core Dump" _/_/_/ _/_/_/ _/_/ _/_/ "El amor es poner tu felicidad en la felicidad de otro" - Leibniz -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.2.2 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iQCVAwUBRQlx0Zlgi5GaxT1NAQLxnAQAnR5ja6G+jzTPC6cNWRpD1BmUnEcXP+k5 KvRuoIAZ2GLLQvKbPYv+KivX9+jZcNW3W73g/HPGrmnMrFwKyVaeotnk5M8z2IH/ mCneF/qfV751eTaWGUXHqCD1bh/jRkxlIHRPU+TvCriE2zJ+N5r+AMOIbAd9oQ6H 9Y9LUSWAK+Q= =rNRA -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
