So if it is my imagination, how can I actually convert UFS to ZFS easily? Everybody seems to say that this is easy and that is easy. When you look at this from a single point then you might be right. But next thing in my agenda is to provide restore services to hosting customers. Now when I use a commercial solution like r1soft backup, I can just install the plugin for the control panel software (like cPanel or H-Sphere). If it is imagination and things are so easy, I can give you $500(r1soft pricing) for every 5servers I have, and you can give the same features that r1soft gives, deal? I have no doubt that similar solution can be achieved on FreeBSD. If you sit and think for a second, the problem is the amount of time, resources and knowledge it requires to do the same solution in FreeBSD is way higher than if one was using Linux. > I seriously doubt that it supports things like GMailFS. You are right, my mistake. But it supports the most commonly used Linux filesystems, still better than changing to a brand new filesystem. But sorry for the mistake. Thanks, Evren
