...ppear as though iscsi may not be the way to go for this as it locks up when the target goes down and even though I may be able to remove the target from the mirror, that process may fail as the "disk" remains in "D" state. So that leaves me with the following options: 1) ggated/ggatec + gmirror 2) ggated/ggatec + zfs (zpool mirror) 3) zfs send/recv incremental snapshots (ssh) 1) I have been using ggated/ggatec on a set of 6.2-REL boxes and find that ggated tends to fail after some time leaving me rebuilding the mirror periodically (and gmirror resilvering takes quite some time)...

Hi all, Setup: I'm running 2 machines (amd64, 16GB) with FreeBSD 9-STABLE (Mar 14 so far) acting as NFS servers. They each serve 3 zpools (holding a single zfs, hourly snapshots). The zpools each are 3-way mirrors of ggate devices, each 2 TB, so 2 TB per zpool. Compression is "on" (to save bandwith to the backend, compressratio around 1.05 to 1.15), atime is off. There is no
