I think I am having the same problem using a different application (Windchill). zfs is consuming hugh amounts of memory and system (T2000) is performing poorly. Occasionally it will take a long time (several hours) to do a snapshot. Normally a snapshot will take a second or two. The application

Hi All, Thank you for answers. I am not really comparing anything. I have a flat directory with a lot of small files inside. And I have a java application that reads all these files when it starts. If this directory is located on ZFS the application starts fast (15 mins) when the number of fi

Hi All, We have a problem running a scientific application dCache on ZFS. dCache is a java based software that allows to store huge datasets in pools. One dCache pool consists of two directories pool/data and pool/control. The real data goes into pool/data/ For each file in pool/data/ the pool
