Well, maybe I should look into transition my home server from Ubuntu and XFS to Nexenta or OpenSolaris and ZFS... I'd hate to lose some of the data on that thing, though I'm currently not doing any RAID. Just a disk of important stuff rsnapshotted every 4 hours to another disk.

I've been running opensol/zfs for almost a year now. Zero problems, good perf & reliability. My research is on two mirrored sata/160gb drives. The most important stuff is on a FS on there with copies=2, making 2 copies on each drive. Also, backing up zfs is really, really easy. 48 lines of shell scripts do daily incrementals and weekly snapshot backups. But, do yourself a favor and put /usr/gnu/bin first in your path. oh, and alias tar=gtar. Old solarisisms will otherwise be irritating.
