Since ZFS is not really available on Linux (outside of ZFS-Fuse), I wouldn't think anyone is really asking themselves about ZFS in any sort of production environment. Despite having good things to say about ZFS-Fuse a year or two ago, nothing at all has happened on it in that time, so I consider it dead. Even on FreeBSD, ZFS is quite far behind OpenSolaris, and I've heard the occasional horror story about ZFS being flaky on FreeBSD. On the other hand, I've used ZFS in production on Solaris 10 for years and it worked out quite well. I think BtrFS has the potential to be technologically superior, though, and I'd much rather run Linux than Solaris. Solaris's userspace tools are pretty primitive and archaic compared to GNU goodness. /* PLUG: http://plug.org, #utah on irc.freenode.net Unsubscribe: http://plug.org/mailman/options/plug Don't fear the penguin. */
