LZO seems to have a whole family of compressors. One reason why it is

In a shared ZFS pool situation I don't think we'd get anything from

Hi David,
Thanks, there's no need to ask around. I should be able to work it out.
Thanks for your help.

Could someone kindly provide some details on using a zvol in sparse-mode?
Wouldn't the COW nature of zfs (assuming COW still applies on ZVOLS) quickly
erode the sparse nature of the zvol?
Would sparse data-presentation only work by delegating a part of a zpool to a
zone, but that's at the file-

Not off-hand. It's a separate dev group that tends to do
Hi David,
Thanks, that's good news, as we're trying to repurpose an Xserve RAID
with some new servers.

That's exactly what I want to do. Our current setup is two mirrored
RAID-5 arrays, so we'd probably set up a couple of RAI
How can I set up a ZVOL that's accessible by non-root users, too? The intent is
to use sparse ZVOLs as raw disks in virtualization (reducing overhead compared
to file-based virtual volumes).
Thanks,

Hi all,
Just a quick question. Is it possible to utilise an Apple Xserve RAID
as an array for use with ZFS with RAID-Z in Solaris?
