Even if I just "find" my filesystem, it will run for 7 hours. But zfs can create my whole incremental snapshot in a minute or two. There is no way star or any other user-space utility that walks the filesystem can come remotely close to this performance. Such performance can only be implemented at the filesystem level, or lower. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
