This paper is exactly what is needed -- giving an overview to a wide audience of the ZFS fundamental components and benefits.
I found several grammar errors -- to be expected in a draft and I think at least one technical error. The paper seems to imply that multiple vdevs will induce striping across the vdevs, ala RAIDx0. Though I haven't looked at the code, my understanding is that records are contained to a single vdev. The clarification that each vdev gives iops roughly equivalent to a single disk is useful information not generally understood. I was glad to see it there. Overall, this is a terrific step forward for understanding ZFS and encouraging its adoption. Now if only SRSS would work under Nexenta... -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
