Yes, I believe that's what he's talking about. He's thinking the way a clustered filesystem would work. In response to the original question, the limitation on two machines talking to the same resources exists at the pool level, not the filesystem level. That being said, in order to get machines to share snapshots, a fully clustered ZFS would be in order anyway. Any word on any sort of progress (if any) on making ZFS clustered? That would be amazingly cool, especially now with ZFS Boot as you could just setup different BEs in the same pool for your different machines' OSes. Add data-de-duplication to the mix and now we're talking about a very amazing SAN booted environment. -brian -- "Coding in C is like sending a 3 year old to do groceries.
