Dear Mark/All, Our trading system is writing to local and/or array volume at 10k messages per second. Each message is about 700bytes in size. Before ZFS, we used UFS. Even with UFS, there was evey 5 second peak due to fsflush invocation. However each peak is about ~5ms. Our application can not

[zfs-discuss] Moving ZFS root pool to different system breaks boot

Recently, I needed to move the boot disks containing a ZFS root pool in an Ultra 1/170E running snv_93 to a different system (same hardware) because the original system was broken/unreliable. To my dismay, unlike with UFS, the new machine wouldn't boot: WARNING: pool 'root' could not be loaded as

To do dedup properly, it seems like there would have to be some overly complicated methodology for a sort of delayed dedup of the data. For speed, you'd want your writes to go straight into the cache and get flushed out as quickly as possibly, keep everything as ACID as possible. Then, a dedup scru
