Ok, it's more than that. The point is that if any other file system works in your SAN then ZFS should also work. There could be some issues with some arrays with flushing cache (I haven't got hit by that) but there's an workaround. Other than that it should just work or should even work better due to end-to-end data integrity - generally with SANs you've got more things which can play with your data and ZFS can take care of it or at least detect it.

Maybe it's due to fact that ZFS is so different they don't know what to do with it and get confused? Or maybe as ZFS makes cheap storage solutions really valuable option people start to think it only belongs to that segment - which is of course not true. -- Best regards, Robert mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] http://milek.blogspot.com _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
