The paragraph below is from ZFS admin guide Traditional Volume Management As described in “ZFS Pooled Storage” on page 18, ZFS eliminates the need for a separate volume manager. ZFS operates on raw devices, so it is possible to create a storage pool comprised of logical volumes, either software or hardware. This configuration is not recommended, as ZFS works best when it uses raw physical devices. Using logical volumes might sacrifice performance, reliability, or both, and should be avoided
Does this mean EMC/Hitachi and other SAN provisioned storage(RAID LUN) is not suitable storage for ZFS?
