John reminds me that if you're not tired of hearing me preach the praises of ZFS (and a few pitfalls, too) then you should come to the Penguins Unbound meeting on Jan. 25. I'll be presenting on ZFS, having used it for about a year on two different OSes. http://www.penguinsunbound.com I'd love to hear from you if there are any questions you'd like me to try to address. Thanks Thomas
