For the most part, all SATA devices are hotswapable... If there is some
argument about the capability to hotswap in the x2200 M2, it''s a
limitation
of the OS/Drivers and not the hardware.

I''m very confused now. Do the x2200m2s support "hot plug" of
drives or not?
I can''t believe it''s that confusing/difficult. They do or they
don''t. I
don''t care if I can just yank a drive in a running system out and have
no
problems, but I *do* need to be able to swap a failed disk in a mirror
without downtime.

Does Sun not have an official word on this? I''m losing my faith very
rapidly
on the lack of an absolute response to this question.

Along these same lines, what is the roadmap for ZFS on boot disks? I''ve
not
heard anything about it in quite some time, and google doesn''t yield
any
current information either.
