I'll have to see if I saved any of my work. I actually had a working port, but I may have dumped it. I will be happy to submit it if I can find it. I just don't know that I will be able to maintain it. A couple of notes from what I found: 1. It does not yet integrate with FreeBSD's implementation of ZFS (at least not in 7.x) due to the lack of ACL support. You can use it with a UFS partition or a UFS zvol. (Using a zvol requires a patch pjd@ recommended for performance improvements.) 2. Performance in my setup was not very good over 2x1Gb LAGG. It might be better over a faster, dedicated channel of some type. - Jim
