Not that simple. I'm seeing performance issues on x86 just as much as sparc. My sparc comparison was simply that the only pair of identical machines I could do testing on just happened to be sparc. The *real* common thread is that you need ridiculous amounts of memory to get decent performance out of ZFS, whereas UFS gives reasonable performance on much smaller systems. On my servers where 16G minimum is reasonable, ZFS is fine. But the bulk of the installed base of machines accessed by users is still in the 512M-1G range - and Sun are still selling 512M machines. -- -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
