Re: [zfs-discuss] Oracle to no longer support ZFS on OpenSolaris?
Tonmaus, you talking about and to whom were you responding? My intention was a response to the OP, which I guess from what I am seeing in the jive forum, happened as well. Indeed, my concern was the broken link in the first post which would be simple to fix if intended. That not being the case increases the smell of FUD. Sorry. We are not mind(or intention)-readers. If you have a specific comment which should be directed to a specific individual, then a forum is not the best place to air it. Having said that, "The <...> website appears to be down at the moment - anyone fixing it?" is more than acceptable. Netiquette rules. To quote you: "Why don't you just fix the apparently broken link to your source, then?" is _not_ forum/list material. Thanks...

Re: [zfs-discuss] VERY URGENT Compliance for ZFS

And from where I come from, companies at this stage of the tendering process generally do not wish their details/requirements to be widely publicised. Thus the reference to the client's company initials in the spreadsheet, and your reference to India, plus the level of investment being discussed, does not require a Google Master to work out who the client is.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Zfs and b114 version
Jorgen, http://dlc.sun.com/osol/on/downloads/b114/ This URL makes me think that if I just sit down and figure out how to compile OpenSolaris, I can try b114 now^h^h^h eventually ?

We dont want ZFS to loose it's reputation of an uber file system. With due respect, I recommend that no-one waste the same five minutes that I have just done reading the comments section on Slashdot. It is a complete load of subjective claptrap. Do something sensible instead like microwaving a curry or calling your Mom (well maybe not the latter...) Bob F got it absolutely right about possible lack of GUI being a stumbler for potential users of ZFS in the Apple camp; but to be able to manipulate a filesystem with the underlying power that ZFS has via just two commands (or a few more if you include the SMF bits) is mindblowing.

Re: [zfs-discuss] Some basic questions about getting the best performance for database usage
Christiaan, As ZFS tuning has already been suggested, remember: a) Never tune unless you need to. b) Never tune unless you have an untuned benchmark set of figures to compare against after the system has been tuned - especially in ZFS-land which, whilst it may not be quite there, is designed to ultimately be "self-tuning". Putting stuff hard into /etc/system might be counter-productive to performance in the future (although hopefully by that time, it will be blithely ignored). c) Never tune more than one parameter at one go. d) Understand as fully as possible the wider ramifications of any tuning that you undertake. If this is all "master of the bleedin' obvious" to you, then please accept my humble apologies - it is often not the case... Regards...
