But ... NBU (at least version 6.0) attempts to estimate the size of the backup and make suer there is enough room on the DSSU to handle it. What happens when the free space reported by ZFS isn't really the free space ? We are using NBU DSSU against both UFS and ZFS (but not against VxFS) and have not noticed any FS related performance limitations. The clients and the network are all slower. -- {--------1---------2---------3---------4---------5---------6---------7---------} Paul Kraus -> Sound Designer, Noel Coward's Hay Fever @ Albany Civic Theatre, Feb./Mar. 2008 -> Facilities Coordinator, Albacon 2008 _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
