Selim,
Symantec does support ZFS as DSSU targets. I've also seen a SUN white
paper outlining the use of Thumper (Sun X4500) as a NB 6.5 media server,
where the best practice was to to configure multiple NB disk storage
units to use a distinct ZFS file system. In this case, all the ZFS file
sy
unfortunately in this area, Symantec is not helping anyone. they even
take their time to officially include zfs in their compatibility lists

AFAIK , nbu does of estimated the size of backup prior starting the job.
as the backup job is split in fixed-size segments , if a segment does
not fit, it will try to backup into
another disk or will wait for more space

Not a bug. It is a result of the dynamic nature of ZFS. For example,
when compression is enabled, we cannot
Regarding the question asked below namely "What happens when the free
space reported by ZFS isn't really the free space ?", is there an open

with zfs you can compress data on disk ...that is a grat advantage
when doing backup to disk
also, for DSSU you need to multiply number of filesystem (1 fs per
stu), the advantage of zfs is that you don't need to fix the size
of the fs upfront (the space is shared among all the fs)

Hello experts,
We have a large implementation of Symantec Netbackup 6.0 with disk staging.
Today, the customer is using VxFS as file system inside Netbackup 6.0 DSSU
(disk staging).
The customer would like to know if it is best to use ZFS or VxFS as file system
inside Netbackup disk stag
