Yes, I assumed that because Sun can implement and optimize ZFS to fit OpenSolaris, while we run the risk with FreeBSD to implement bugs while we implement ZFS. 2008/6/8 Dick Hoogendijk : > The best stable (production) server with ZFS is solaris-10u5 > If you want to boot off ZFS, S10u6 will support that. > > But these versions too need lots of ram. I think fbsd has a lighter > footprint. As you might have read, I have quite a lot of RAM available on this server (4GB), but ofcource I want the operating system to take as little as possible so that I have as much RAM as possible over for the server processes to work with (mostly web-server and mysql-server). According to a page I have found it says that some basic (FreeBSD-specific) functions are not ready, how does that affect ZFS in general? http://wiki.freebsd.org/ZFS Regards Anders
