There are some problems with the other A1000 cabinet, which totally
freezes the poor Ultra2, when running a mirrored diskpool. Not even
signs of life on the serial console, so I think this is hardware
related. I'll keep that cabinet out of the testbed until I've
investigated the hardware further.

But on the other A1000 cabinet ZFS is running very happily.

Sure. I can try to benchmark it quickly with iostat.

Send me an email if someone need access to the java building jail.
