But why do you have to attach to a pool? Surely you're just attaching to the root filesystem anyway? And as Richard says, since filesystems can be shrunk easily and it's just as easy to detach a filesystem from one machine and attach to it from another, why the emphasis on pools?
For once I'm beginning to side with Richard, I just don't understand why data has to be in separate pools to do this. The only argument I can think of is for performance since pools use completely separate sets of disks. I don't know if zfs offers a way to throttle filesystems, but surely that could be managed at the network interconnect level? I have to say that I have no experience of enterprise class systems, these questions are purely me playing devils advocate as I learn :) -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
