I installed zfs-119 on a PowerMac G4 running 10.5.5 without problems. I then formatted three drive mechanisms with these commands diskutil partitiondisk /dev/disk0 GPTFormat ZFS %noformat% 100% diskutil partitiondisk /dev/disk1 GPTFormat ZFS %noformat% 100% diskutil partitiondisk /dev/disk2...

I am aware of the fact that the G4 Xserve models use different drives from the G5 and Intel Xserves, whose drive modules are interchangeable. If I buy a used Xserve with small-capacity drive modules, what type of drive mechanism should I buy, in order to make an upgrade-swap? Likewise, what...

Any idea how to hack it so that it can be installed on a G4 733 MHz (Digital Audio) system? I am currently running 10.4 Server on it without a problem.
