What we need is some clear blueprints/best practices docs on this, I think.
Most definitely. Key things that people I work with (including me...) would like to see are... - Some success stories of people running large databases (working set much larger than RAM) on ZFS - Configuration/tuning best practices - Description of why I don't need directio, quickio, or ODM. - Performance comparisons of ZFS vs. SVM/UFS, VxVM/VxFS/ODM, and ASM using standard benchmarks for OLTP and DSS workloads - Same as above but with real workloads. - How the ZFS feature set improves the lives of system administrators, DBA's, storage, and backup admins. For general purpse file systems (especially zones and root) I am very eager to put zfs to work. It has great potential to simplify things like live upgrade and answering the question "what changed?" I don't yet have eagerness to propose that I get a cross-functional team together to perform purely exploratory database load tests on zfs.
