I'll echo that query. This benchmark writeup posted to Phoronix: http://www.phoronix.com/scan.php?page=article&item=zfs_fuse_performance suggests the answer is no, at least not on Linux until ZFS is made available as a stable kernel module. (The usual patent and licensing crap is responsible for this situation. The America Invents Act of 16-Sep-2011 is about to make things a whole lot worse for future open-source dev, I fear.) So I am curious--how far along is the ZFS kernel dev? And has anyone here successfully deployed ZFS in the user-mode module? -rich _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list Discuss@blu.org http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
