It's $324/year, isn't it? That's quite a bit less than the $140/mo you
said earlier.

After applying all of these patches, it seems that now suddenly when I
reboot the machine, my firewire drive is now automatically mounted (zfs)
on boot. Not sure which patch did it, but it's working now.

Oh, I had also modified vold.conf to ignore the port that has the
firewire drive attached.

So far so good, at least with just one reboot test.

Thanks, everyone!

If you want to be *sure* get a quote from Sun. I can't afford support
and, as a hobbyist and former IT professional, I don't really need it!
If something doesn't work as I expect, I have all the time in the world
to fiddle with it!

Keep in mind that Sun support comes in several flavors and that service
contracts usually have a one year term.
