Hello, at my company we currently have a Windows 2008 box attached to an MSA with two 2TB volumes; the file system and data has become corrupt so we are currently moving the data elsewhere but I was wondering about replacing the OS on the box with the latest 64-bit FreeBSD release. The box has 12GB of memory in but could you tell me what are the implications of having ZFS volumes on the MSA? I know ZFS prefers to have direct access to the physical drives and apart from setting copies=2 or something like that, I don't see how ZFS would replace corrupt files etc.
Any thoughts or experiences would be appreciated.
