[zfs-discuss] mem vs numbers of file systems?

2007-03-06 Thread Bill Sprouse
We are trying to quantify the amount of physical memory that is consumed by Solaris versus the number of file systems which are mounted within a ZFS pool. This is for a situation where there would be 15,000 to 20,000 file systems. Has anyone measured this? I'm assuming U2 or U3 of Solaris 10

I am curious as to what people are using in both test and production environments WRT large numbers of ZFS filesystems. Tens of thousands, hundreds? Does anyone have numbers around boot times, shutdown times system performance with LARGE numbers of fs's. How about sharing many filesystems via NF
