    Linda,

    I have 3.5 PB running under OmniOS.  All my systems have LSI 2108 HBAs
    which is considered the best choice for HBAs.

    Illumos leaves a bit to be desired with handling faults from disks or SAS
    problems, but things under OmniOS have been improving, much thanks to Dan
    McDonald and OmniTI.   We have a paid support on all of our production
    systems with OmniTI.  Their response and dedication has been very good.
    Other than the occasional panic and restart from a disk failure, OmniOS has
    been solid.   ZFS of course never has lost a single bit of information.

    I'd be curious why you're looking to move, have there been specific
    problems under BSD or ZoL?  I've been slowly evaluating FreeBSD ZFS, but of
    course the skeletons in the closet never seem to come out until you do
    something big.
