I have, but I don't like it. It's great if you've got an eternity to set it up, and never want to touch it again.Gigabyte P35-DS3L with a Q6600, 2GB Kingston HyperX (after *3* bad pairs of Crucial Ballistix 1066), Galaxy 8800GT 512MB, SB X-Fi, some drives, and a Dell 2005fpw. Running WinXP.

We have it at work. It's pretty solid either way.Originally posted by Fluff
Who has actually used solaris?
That's awesome, and LONG overdue.All operations are also copy-on-write. Live data is never overwritten. ZFS writes data to a new block before changing the data pointers and committing the write.Last edited by Kooldino; 19 September 2004, 20:18.

What do you mean long overdue? ZFS certainly isn't the first file system to do this. Operating systems have had this for years.Originally posted by Kooldino

My school's CS department uses Solaris. All I do is ssh into them and check my email though.Originally posted by Fluff

Well, even as of a few years ago, I've lost data during a disk fail in the middle of a move. Since then I copy the data and then delete.Originally posted by Wombat

I've setup Solaris on a few low-end Ultras, and attempted to do it on x86, but gave up once I got the SPARC boxes.
As for using it as a workstation, I don't, that's what Win2k/x86 is for
