I agree, but to be quite honest, I have no clue how to do this with ZFS. It seems that it should be something under the regular tuning documenation. http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Best_Practices_Guide http://www.solarisinternals.com/wiki/index.php/ZFS_Evil_Tuning_Guide Is it going to be the case that basic information like about how to deal with common scenarios like this is no longer going to be publicly available, and Oracle will simply keep it 'close to the vest', with the relevant information simply available for those who choose to research it themselves, or only available to those with certain levels of support contracts from Oracle? To put it another way - does the community that uses ZFS need to fork 'ZFS Best Practices' and 'ZFZ Evil Tuning' to ensure that it is reasonably up to date? Sorry for the somewhat hostile in the above, but the changes w/ the merger have demoralized a lot of folks I think. - Mike _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
