Hi All,
I went to storage expo in the UK yesterday. During a long train journey
back to the west country boss and I were discussing the joys of storage
management in a production environment and where ZFS would be able to help.
Whilst it would be great if ZFS were a clustered file-system and able to
share its pools and file systems read/write across multiple hosts, what
would be almost as good would be a shared pool where specific hosts could
write to specific file systems. In that way we could use all of the goodies
of pool management, tiered storage, migration etc without the metadata
overhead of shared locks.
Is this feasible?
Cheers,
Vic
