Just use another filesystem. Even on other platforms, ZFS has some characteristics that make it not ideal for a cache, and in the past I've recommended using something else when it's easy to do so (e.g. UFS on Solaris, even if it's jus on a zvol). At least on Solaris, ZFS does some somewhat unique things with space allocations that have created some semi-unavoidable problems for the cache manager. I can understand if someone is using ZFS for their root fs, and they don't want to make a separate fs just for the cache, but if you're making an fs just for the cache or something, it doesn't make a lot of sense. -- Andrew Deason adea...@sinenomine.net _______________________________________________ OpenAFS-info mailing list OpenAFS-info@openafs.org https://lists.openafs.org/mailman/listinfo/openafs-info
