I've used both in testing and in production. ZFS snapshotting is certainly on par with NetApp snapshotting. ZFS in some ways is ahead of the NetApp functionality because the numbers of read-only and read-write snapshots are essentially unlimited.
In fact in early ZFS testing at one point I was taking 1 snapshot per minute, one per hour, and one per day for 30 days for multiple file systems. Ended up with hundreds of snapshots on the system with no apparent performance penalty or other issues. --Peter Blog: http://pbgalvin.wordpress.com On 8/24/07 11:33 PM, "Edward Ned Harvey" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Has anyone here actually used *both* the sun ZFS snapshotting, and netapp > snapshotting? > > Because I know I've used Linux snapshotting, and it's not even remotely the > same calibre as netapp snapshotting. > > > _______________________________________________ bblisa mailing list [email protected] http://www.bblisa.org/mailman/listinfo/bblisa
