Hi Ed,
pNFS (Parallel NFS) could benefit by using a 'distributed filesystem version'
of ZFS. By using pNFS files could be striped along different NFS servers.
Lisa Week ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) told me that they would like to use ZFS in future
pNFS Servers in Solaris.
Thanks and best regards,
Iva
For future reference for someone looking to build a ZFS storage server, the
server config I am now using is Solaris 10 U3, has two Supermicro AOC-SAT2-MV8
controllers, 12 Seagate 750GB drives, 2 Seagate 160GB drives, and an Asus P5M2
motherboard (don't think these boards are yet for general sale

Are there any customer references available who have deployed ZFS in

We're not using the Enterprise release, but we are working with them.
It looks like MySQL is crashing due to lack of memory.

I've used NetApps in the past (1996 even!) and they do it. I think they're

Nice article. Now what about when we do this with more than one disk
and compare UFS/SVM or VxFS/VxVM with ZFS as the back end - all with
JBOD storage ?
How then does ZFS compare as an NFS server ?
