Hi,

is it possible to link multiple machines into one storage pool using zfs?

Depends what you mean by this.

Multiple machines can not import the same ZFS pool at the same time, doing so *will* cause corruption and ZFS tries hard to protect against multiple imports.

However ZFS can use iSCSI LUNs from multiple target machines for its disks that make up a given pool.

ZFS volumes (ZVOLS) can also be used as iSCSI targets and thus shared out to multiple machines.

ZFS file systems can be shared over NFS and CIFS and thus shared by multiple machines.

ZFS pools can be used in a Sun Cluster configuration but will only imported into a single node of a Sun Cluster configuration at a time.
