Depends what your application is. I normally use openindiana for ZFS, and use iscsi to present storage to vmware. Because vmware is bad about managing storage or redundancy - I can ZFS snapshot the vm underlying storage, and I can zfs send to offsite backups. Supposedly, you should be able to do the same now on btrfs or zfs on linux - but I haven't thoroughly vetted that configuration. I normally have a plain ext4 partition for /boot. And everything else is LVM. Given the fact that all my linux machines run inside vmware, and therefore the underlying openindiana zfs is able to manage the machine snapshots, I normally don't bother doing anything fancy with filesystems in the linux guests, and everything simply runs ext4. _______________________________________________ Discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.blu.org/mailman/listinfo/discuss
