zfs discuss - Aug 2009 - I Still Have My Data

My test setup of 8 x 2G virtual disks under Virtual Box on top of Mac  
OS X is running nicely! I haven''t lost a *single* byte of data.

Same here, I''ve got a test server at work running 15x 500GB SATA disks
on a pair of AOC-SAT2-MV8 cards, it suffered some 20 minutes of slow response
when a disk started to fail, but although that caused a few problems with the
clients, the data is still there.

However, my home system has been superb.  That''s 6x 1TB SATA disks on
an AOC-SAT2-MV8, it''s suffered multiple power cuts (8 or more), a dead
disk, and has been upgraded to many of the bi-weekly OpenSolaris builds. 
It''s never gone down, and has been serving data to a mix of Linux,
Windows and Xbox clients without a single hiccup.

I''ve been running ZFS on FreeBSD and i''ve had no problems. 
ZFS is still
considered experimental in FreeBSD but it''s working wonderfully.  I
have 3
raidz1 vdevs with 4 1tb drives each and i''ve had several power outages
and
i''ve yanked out disks just to see what would happen....it''s
been fine.  I
used FreeBSD because there was no support for my raidcard in opensolaris
yet.  I''m using zfs on 2 other opensolaris computers but with much
smaller
pools...the desktop i''m writing this on has a simple mirror of 2 250 gb
disks and a zfs laptop i have has a single no-redundancy setup.

All around i''m very impressed and satisfied with ZFS
