-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Fist of all thanks for this enlightening answer, i m really trying to reduce the amount of different OSes i have to support at the moment, OpenBSD as been a wonderful replacement for web serving and ftp services plus of course network managment. ZFS looks indeed quite interesting and i will take a close look at it plus the Solaris volume management tools are quite adequate for the job i have in mind, namely replacing a crappy dell powervault running some crappy win2000 storage (dont ask, i wasnt in the company when this was bought and has been causing a lot of troubles). Down the line the ideal solution would be to standardize on one OS but a stopgap solution that allow me to get away from the aforementioned dell box is already a nice step. btw, is there any plan to include volume management in a future release?
