Read my previous email on tuning your system so ZFS doesn't crash.

I've been using it on a shared machine with hundreds of customers for over 8 months.  It has worked 
flawlessly.  People who complain about the crashes often have not searched the net for: "freebsd zfs 
tuning".

Speaking of losing data on a ZFS system, I haven't yet (knock on wood) had a disk failure.  Anyone 
have a disk failure occur and have an easy/hard time replacing the bad disk?
