I want to put together a new server with 9.0 that I will use as a =20 prototype for hardware and OS updating. By the time I finish I'm sure =20 9 will be out;) I will use them to replace my 7.4 servers. The only doubt that I have relates to disks. I would like to use GPT =20 and ZFS for the disks and have never used either but my real concern =20 is ZFS and problems that I could have due to my ignorance in choosing =20 the correct configuration for installing and then maintaining once in =20 production. I like to think that I am not a total idiot and should be =20 able to. I am also concerned with ZFS life expectancy (oracle). I'm =20 assuming the GPT will be around for a while and don't see it as a =20 problem. I would appreciate any support as to any errors my logic and which ZFS =20 setup is the most practical, up-time and maintenance wise. If there =20 is something better that I've missed, I would love to here it. ZFS is =20 my "raid" solution and I find it cool. Thanks for any and all suggestions, slaps on the wrist, etc, etc. ed
