I think what you mean to ask is "Is the HD7K3000 a piece of junk?" Because any disk which is lying about its physical sectors is a piece of junk, regardless of what filesystem is going to be on it. This isn't a ZFS question. (Nothing wrong with asking - I'm not trying to discourage having the discussion, but please don't associate such problems with ZFS as if ZFS is unique in that way.) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
