To have user quota with ZFS you have to have a file system per user. However this leads to a very large number of file systems on a large server. I understand there is work already in hand to make sharing a large number of file systems faster, however even mounting a large number of file systems takes a very considerable amount of time.
Is this being worked on? The example I was given was for a system with 30,000 users. So I tried this on a Thumper runnig Solaris 10 6/06 first with out the file systems being shared: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # time zpool import zpool1 real 37m32.98s user 0m2.42s sys 1m50.40s [EMAIL PROTECTED] # I need to investigate where all the time is being lost. If you share the file systems the time increases even further but as I understand it that issue is being worked: [EMAIL PROTECTED] # time zpool import zpool1 real 7h6m28.62s user 14m55.28s sys 5h58m13.24s [EMAIL PROTECTED] # This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
