#2 is the key for me. And I also have a #3: FC has been around a long time now. The HBAs and Switches are (more or less :-) debugged and we know how things work... iSCSI - well, perhaps. But to me that feels like it gets "too far away" from the hardware. I'd like to keep the "distance" between the disks and ZFS as short as possible. Ie: ZFS -> HBA -> FC Switch -> JBOD -> "Simple" FC-SATA-converter -> SATA disk This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
