I have approx. 8.2 TB of storage and it has been very stable after the gcc 4.2 upgrade. We are phasing this server into production this afternoon. Overall Pawel's work porting zfs to FreeBSD has been a tremendous effort :-) Kudos to him. -- regards Claus When lenity and cruelty play for a kingdom, the gentlest gamester is the soonest winner.
