But aren't Sol 6 & 7 (and 2.5.1, really) when Sun was still 
trying to do it's partnering gig with Veritas, and so, slowly 
letting Soltice die (at $network_co we explicitly bought a 
site license for Veritas b/c Sun told us Soltice was being
phased out)?  

It'd certainly be worth testing under Sol 9 to see if it performs 
as poorly now.  Especially given that some one reported on
geeks or rescue a while back that SDS now does the "right 
thing" automatically with regard to mirrored stripes for 
maximum failure prevention (0+1? I can never remember the 
order).
