And the right underlying OS.  ZFS on Solaris?  Rock solid.  ZFS on 
Linux?  Not so much ...  way too many times where you hit an error 
because the Linux kernel's SCSI subsystem tripped over its own feet, and 
you can't FIX the problem without rebooting, because the kernel shut off 
I/O to the device because it had too many I/O errors and there's no way 
to tell it to turn it back on.  Reboot, and everything's fine again.
