Yeah, that's a big difference! :) Of course we could not live with pool or fs corruption. However, we can live with the fact the NFS written data is not all on disk in case of a server crash although the NFS client could rely on the write guaranteed by the NFS protocol. I.e. we do not use it for db transactions or something like that. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
