What solution is recommended? > AFIK, zfs in -CURRENT can do this. -CURRENT runs fairly well[1], if you catch it at the right time. Not sure if/when the MFC is planned. There might be something in geom(8) which could do this, as well, but I do not know. [1] YMMV, obviously. The one box I have on -CURRENT is not heavily loaded and not filled with cutting-edge technology. The 12-March snapshot of 7 wouldn't have zfs, though (I think?) -- --
