I want to put together a new server with 9.0 that I will use as a prototype for hardware and OS updating. By the time I finish I'm sure 9 will be out;) I will use them to replace my 7.4 servers. The only doubt that I have relates to disks. I would like to use GPT and ZFS for the disks and have never used either but my real concern is ZFS and problems that I could have due to my ignorance in choosing the correct configuration for installing and then maintaining once in production. I like to think that I am not a total idiot and should be able to. I am also concerned with ZFS life expectancy (oracle). I'm assuming the GPT will be around for a while and don't see it as a problem. I would appreciate any support as to any errors my logic and which ZFS setup is the most practical, up-time and maintenance wise. If there is something better that I've missed, I would love to here it. ZFS is my "raid" solution and I find it cool. Thanks for any and all suggestions, slaps on the wrist, etc, etc. edhelp
