Is there any performance problem with hard links in ZFS?
I have a large storage. There will be near 50000 hard links for every file. Is it ok for ZFS? May be some problems with snapshots(every 30 minutes there will be a snapshot creating)? What about difference in speed while working with 50000 hardlinks or 50000 different files?
Why do you think there would be a problem ?
Are you actually having a problem or trying to guess at things you might
have ?
To my knowledge there are no problems with hard or softlinks in ZFS.
50000 hard links for a file seems very strange and it really sounds like
what you might want is to use ZFS clones. What problem are you solving
by using such a huge number of hardlinks ?
ps: It would be very useful if you give me some links about hardlinks low-level
processing.
Look in the zfs community page on opensolaris.org
