| Still, I'm curious -- why lots of pools? Administration would be | simpler with a single pool containing many filesystems.
The short answer is that it is politically and administratively easier to use (at least) one pool per storage-buying group in our environment. This got discussed in more detail in the 'How many ZFS pools is it sensible to use on a single server' zfs-discuss thread I started earlier this month[*]. (Trying to answer the question myself is the reason I wound up setting up 132 pools on my test system and discovering this issue.) - cks [*: http://opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=56802] _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
