Do you RAID1 or otherwise backup the SSD?
not at the moment. I haven't decided yet whether it's worth the expense or whether i should just convert booting from ZFS (since i'm planning on doing that eventually anyway). it's not high on my priority list, either way. I have a way of recovering in case of disaster.
If not, what's your recovery plan for when the SSD shits itself completely and without warning?
buy a new SSD, pxeboot to a restore image (possibly clonezilla with zfs dkms modules utils added) and restore / and /boot from backup. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> BOFH excuse #28: CPU radiator broken
