This isn't so bad. I'm going to assume that mounting 10K partitions at boot doesn't take forever. :) >> >> Of course, backups become a huge pain now. ... that's cumbersome >> >> for both backups and (especially) restores. > > > > Using traditional tools or ZFS send/receive? Traditional (amanda). I'm not seeing a way to dump zfs file systems to tape without resorting to 'zfs send' being piped through gtar or something. Even then, the only thing I could restore was an entire file system. (We frequently restore single files for users...) Perhaps, since zfs isn't limited to one snapshot per FS like fssnap is, I should be redesigning everything. It sounds like I should look at using many snapshots, and dumping to tape (each file system, somehow) less frequently. Waiting for S10_U2 now :) > > Hope that helps, > > > > - Eric It does.
