I have quite a few Solaris systems plugged into a SAN and I've never seen ZFS automatically grow to fill a LUN I've expanded at the SAN. There are numerous threads and complaints about this on the sun.com forums. Now, it does automatically resize itself if you create another LUN and assign it to the zpool... if that's what you're talking about.

If I don't want to abide by a specific term or condition, THEY don't get to sell me the product. That is how a free market works, and you know it.

61C on a video card isn't much to worry about. Using RivaTuner I used to watch an 8800gts creep up to 90C and it never died. Unfortunately, taking comfort in knowing your video cards won't get cooked isn't very useful when you're worried about the other nearby devices. For what it's worth my old temps were in an antec sonataII case. When I switched over to the antec 900 my 8800gts temps dropped to the 55-60C range. Maybe a new case is the aftermarket part you're looking for?

Seems to me the problem isn't bittorrent. I happen to pay for a 7.5mbit down, 1.5mbit up connection. So does everyone else with my provider. But, I guess the internet providers pass out bandwidth the way banks pass out money - that is, all the customers have a certain bandwidth to share and the provider simply hopes no more than 10% of their customers (or whatever the number is) will make a run on the bandwidth all at the same time. How about you give and guarantee me the bandwidth I pay for? You know, the bandwidth in all your advertising and contracts? I never use more than my 7.5/1.5mbit connection, so there should be no reason that me maxing out my connection should interfere with anybody else - if it does that's because it's really shared bandwidth (not the bandwidth that I bought which should belong to me, used however I see appropriate), and perhaps we should look at fixing your infrastructure problems and business model instead of pointing at my usage habits?
