Hmm. On a related note: I'm looking to be using Sun's xVM on our Nehalem (x4170) machines, and was assuming I'd be best off using iSCSI targets exported from my ZFS-based disk machine. Under xVM (xen-based, or possibly VirtualBox, too), would I be better off having an iSCSI raw partition mounted on the xVM server, or using NFS? (assuming I would have SSD accelerators on the ZFS disk machine) I'm looking at performance issues, not things like being able to grow the image under xVM (I'm hosting QA machines in xVM). -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca22-123 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
