Hello list, I've read about your fascinating new fs implementation, ZFS. I've seen alot - nbd, lvm, evms, pvfs2, gfs, ocfs - and I have to say: I'm quite impressed!
I'd set up a few of my boxes to OpenSolaris for storage (using Linux and lvm right now - offers pooling, but no built-in fault-tolerance) if ZFS had one feature: Use of more than one machine - currently, as I understand it, if disks fail, no problem, but if the server machine fails, ... I read in your FAQ that cluster features are on the way and wanted to ask what's the status here :-) BTW I recently read about a filesystem, which has a pretty good cluster architecture, called Google File System. The article on the English Wikipedia has a good overview, a link to the detailed papers and a ZDNet interview about it. I just wanted to point that out to you, maybe some of its design / architecture is useful in ZFS's cluster mode. --erj This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
