Yours is fat as well: CPU: AMD-K6tm w/ multimedia extensions (167.05-MHz 586-class CPU) Origin = "AuthenticAMD" Id = 0x561 Stepping = 1 Features=0x8001bf AMD Features=0x400<> real memory = 167772160 (160 MB) avail memory = 158793728 (151 MB) Many things tuned to get ZFS runnning. But it is used just as backup another bigger ZFS Server with zfs receive. I'm not shure if it would survive much file access from userland, at least it can handle gzip-9 compression - well slow or course... [55]momax# zpool list NAME SIZE USED AVAIL CAP HEALTH ALTROOT backup 87G 74.8G 12.2G 85% ONLINE - This very low configurtion makes it even possible to think about one of the bigger Soekris with 256-512M RAM, although I would suggest to use 512M for a real use ZFS, but backup with an 4801 seems to be possible. -- B.Walter http://www.bwct.de http://www.fizon.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de support@fizon.de
