I never expected failures, panics, or the previously mentioned problems which were already fixed. It has constant read access, around 9MB/s according to iostat -w1 with 20MB/s peaks. Write access is somehow low, but I did, while I was just testing, some 2GB file creation with dd(1) to check for transfers per second. Never had a problem. I will certainly go production with ZFS when 7.0-R happens. Great pjd's work. -- Patrick Tracanelli
