PPS: We've also been doing some experiments with putting OpenSolaris+ZFS on some of our generic (Supermicro + Areca) 16-disk RAID systems, which were originally intended to run Linux.<br>

I think that DESY proved some data corruption with such configuration, so<br>
they switched to OpenSolaris+ZFS.<br>

I'm confused. I am also talking about OpenSolaris+ZFS. What did DESY try, and what did they switch to?<div class="Ih2E3d"></div></blockquote><div><br>Sorry, I am indeed not clear.<br>As far as I know, DESY found data corruption using Linux and Areca cards. They moved from linux to OpenSolaris and ZFS, avoiding other corruption. This has been discussed in HEPiX storage workgroup.<br>
However, I can not speak on their behalf at all. I'll try to get you in touch with someone more aware of this issue, as my statements lack of figures.<br><br>Regards,<br><br><br>X.<br></div></div>
