Works fine for me. It may be worth thinking about how long it takes to back up a filesystem. For example, I have a filesystem that takes almost a day to back up - anything much larger is going to make a daily backup schedule difficult. So, for a single pool using raidz2 and everything at the default (we're interested in safety and space), it takes me about 22 hours to backup a terabyte filesystem with 10 million files. Therefore I would like individual filesystems to come in smaller than that to be comfortable. The pool size is essentially irrelevant. For other parameters, I would expect that if it helped general performance then it's going to help backup performance too. -- -Peter Tribble http://www.petertribble.co.uk/ - http://ptribble.blogspot.com/ _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
