Ross, No need to apologize...
Many of us work hard to make sure good ZFS information is available so a big thanks for bringing this wiki page to our attention. Playing with UFS on ZFS is one thing but even inexperienced admins need to know this kind of configuration will provide poor performance. I updated the bigadmin wiki page to include a note about sub-optimal performance and added a item about this in the ZFS best practices site, under General Storage Pool Performance Considerations, here: http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php?title=ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide Thanks, Cindy Ross Becker wrote: > I have to come back and face the shame; this was a total newbie mistake by > myself. > > I followed the ZFS shortcuts for noobs guide off bigadmin; > http://wikis.sun.com/display/BigAdmin/ZFS+Shortcuts+for+Noobs > > What that had me doing was creating a UFS filesystem on top of a ZFS volume, > so I was using only 2 layers of ZFS. > > I just re-did this against end-to-end ZFS, and the results are pretty > freaking impressive; ZFS is handily outrunning the hardware RAID.
