ZFS is the bomb. It's a great file system. What are it's real world applications besides solaris userspace? What I'd really like is to utilize the benefits of ZFS across all the platforms we use. For instance, we use Microsoft Windows Servers as our primary platform here. How might I utilize ZFS to protect that data?
The only way I can visualize doing so would be to virtualize the windows server and store it's image in a ZFS pool. That would add additional overhead but protect the data at the disk level. It would also allow snapshots of the Windows Machine's virtual file. However none of these benefits would protect Windows from hurting it's own data, if you catch my meaning. Obviously ZFS is ideal for large databases served out via application level or web servers. But what other practical ways are there to integrate the use of ZFS into existing setups to experience it's benefits. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
