I'm convinced that ZFS mirroring is far better than gmirroring, but the latter uses much less memory (I think). My server has 3Gb and is solely used as server (web, files/nfs/samba, dns, mail). The data is serves does not change much, so I would think the data integrity checks of ZFS although useful do not serve a very high purpose. If a disk goes bad it can be replaced using gmirror and/or ZFS. Why would it be the preferred way to use ZFS over gmirror? I know ZFS (I come from opensolaris). I'm not that familiar with gmirror. Hence the doubts..;-)
