Re: Zfs on NetBSD



I updated "everything" to 8.99.51 and now have zfs running. Was able to create a mirrored pool. Thanks all for the responses. I'm sure there will be more questions coming.

    On second thought, ' zpool scrub' worked as expected; the amount
    initially copied was not enough to notice it.
    
    It does tak a lot of memory, though - as expected, during the tar copy:
    ...
    Memory: 8387M Act, 4101M Inact, 40K Wired, 38M Exec, 12G File, 31M Free
    ... (on a 20GB laptop).
