It's the same pool, so it's the same IO bandwidth limits, you're right about that. > Can someone help me understand if/why I should use separate file systems > for these? It helps with management. Quotas are by filesystem, for example. Also you can select compression and deduplication and eventually encryption per filesystem. Also you can snapshot them independently if you want. And my environment has few enough filesystems that I'm not feeling the pain from doing it; so I may not have thought it through completely. -- David Dyer-Bennet, d...@dd-b.net; http://dd-b.net/ Snapshots: http://dd-b.net/dd-b/SnapshotAlbum/data/ Photos: http://dd-b.net/photography/gallery/ Dragaera: http://dragaera.info _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
