Dell R230's + ZFS via PERC

[Paul Macdonald]

Hi,

We're buying a few of theDell  R230's now,

The R230's however, whilst having nice 4 x hotswappable bays) have only 
a single sata port on the borard and everything goes via the PERC card.

( the R220's had awful ACPI problems which muck up serial access)

A lot of these are single SSD systems with a few mirrored sata + L2 
SSD's for caching

I've read that ZFS prefers direct access to the disks, does anyone have 
info/insight as to running zfs via these percs?

thanks

Paul.
