Hello! Yep, Read cache is nice and safe solution but not write cache :) No, we do not use ZFS in production yet. We done only very specific tests like this: https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/issues/2458 But you can do some performance tests and share :) On Wed, Jul 9, 2014 at 12:55 AM, Nick Knu

[Users] RHEL5 kernel end of life

This is to announce that RHEL5 based OpenVZ kernel branch will reach End Of Life in October, 2014, and will no longer be supported thereafter. There is no guarantee for any RHEL5 kernel updates after the given date, so we urge everyone to migrate their systems to RHEL6-based kernels. If you exper

I know about this project, but what about stability/compatibility ZFS on Linux with OpenVZ kernel? Has anyone ever tested it? Also, with ext4 I can always at any [our] datacenter boot to rescue mode and, for example, move data to another/new server. I have no idea how to get ZFS data if something

We are using this for only cashing reads (mode "thru"), not writes. (offtopic) We can not use ZFS. Unfortunately, NAS with something like Nexenta is to expensive for us. Anyway, we are doing completely migrate to SSD. It's just cheaper. 08.07.2014 22:23, Pavel Odintsov пишет: > I knew about fe

I knew about few incidents with ___FULL___ data loss from customers of flashcache. Beware of it in production. If you want speed you can try ZFS with l2arc/zvol cache because it's native solution. On Tue, Jul 8, 2014 at 8:05 PM, Nick Knutov wrote: > We are using latest flashcache 2.* with 2.6.32

Hi all! I thought it's really not good idea because technology like ssd caching should be tested _thoroughly_ before production use. But you could try it with simfs but beware of ploop because it's really not an standard ext4 with custom caches and unexpected behaviour in some cases. On Tue, Jul
