ZFS has its own command set and management tools. There are a number of talks about production readiness of ZFS. I have never had issues with it, but my own personal experiences are not true of the world. http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFSQuickStartGuide i avoid using the raw block devices, and use gpart and create a partition the size of the device, and then use the /dev/gpart/label devices. see http://blogs.freebsdish.org/lulf/2008/12/16/setting-up-a-zfs-only-system/ for some ideas about gpart and this. > > Thanks and best regards, > Andy > _______________________________________________ > [email protected] mailing list > http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions > To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]" William Brown pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.14 (Darwin) iQIcBAEBAgAGBQJM5SHQAAoJEHF16AnLoz6JPZIQALgW/gs0YlkVKxMkcMqwJe2q /g3Sbb0xqp9Zuo0cwMv5KxZQKhaY2FZ1UD7ynSxB7lwxGEkNFPRUwS/CpXg4lJpK 6WbYEGfN2AAZKW2raE9Ufhb17xBuya5Z02EBnIBWVO9ts4wAiBT3AQ3PGQSuZu+A auO6HRsBcDmd6c/U2Q+Xg4yFXm4Y2RTh8mFzSFsGtKcbiRxPL7GD+isi1+ShbXCH KxNHkW2dub9Udn6cyA/9vCpdLV1SBL69MDh3ihDChI3g+QFgqnMzw2OWDusSxad5 Ub4Ox5dP8X06AYL6jiFThk9Wg51pxLlLj/+DuCvc9dwg0nqZfHca7fWkNQiRleQH kvOMq1OjWY2/E4Jz7qRe3/y7Yy9wrwIs+3w490p/1xtqE8b2d+Lr3g8OZgbkASoJ WWFJhEz5xVlkEusN/hbQpgn0eNOP4E4p7cVWiAf/YcCEDIJOufuIkgLlpBsjXEhP IO3ybMEDnpxVjDbumpUMLaYgXoVG3XDgKtBltb/vexdcvM0tKXNf9mvrAIIuc9dB XvrLXHU04YfggXj6Nakw8wRQqIDQI7JcJsejJNiiQVaBmIkIhoIDVfe4bOxpvrJw JMDWAejiAwqLpN3vgCkF9ohpiXrSwTOFNCAOBYZ+WubODJNfjGFrUdL7Dz+GZlPO Ehv6uu2QbF7SszSc5mHl =sTvS -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
