Hi,


An IT organization needs to implement highly available file server, using Solaris 10, SunCluster, NFS and Samba. We are talking about thousands, even 10s of thousands of ZFS file systems.


Is this doable? Should I expect any impact on performance or stability due to the fact I'll have that many mounted filesystems, with everything implied from that fact ('df | wc -l' with thousands of lines of result, for instance)?


Thanks, 




1. rebooting server could take several hours right now with so many file system

   I belive this problem is being addressed right now


2. each new fs when mounted consumes some memory - so you can endup with

   much of the memory consumed just by mounting file system - something was done

   to fix it recently but I haven't been following


3. backup - depends on software you're going to use it could be tricky or it could not

   to backup/restore so many file systems
