ZFS requires a lot of KVA, which is limited on ppc32, and also requires 64-bit atomics, which are not available except through some slow backup code that uses a mutex. ZFS will work on ppc64, however, where both these problems are alleviated. > -Nathan kind regards nse "Ach, crivens, what a wee snotter....."
