Valid point. I didn't make the clarification that I should have. graid3 and gmirror have reached the maturity and dedicated to the system, whereas ZFS is still experimental. When ZFS is no longer considered experimental, I would expect ZFS support in the installer in the same expectation I am expecting graid3 and gmirror to be. It's all about the status of ZFS itself, rather than the fact that it works. Does this paint a better picture to you of what I forgot to clarify in my original posting? > > Tim Gustafson > Baskin School of Engineering > UC Santa Cruz > tjg@soe.ucsc.edu > 831-459-5354
