I've done it, as far as data integrity goes, it's just fine.
However, I don't know if they've fixed the zfs fsync() bug --
meaning, unless you're running an AFS fileserver & volserver that
have ben cleansed of fsync, your performance will be abysmal. With a
capital "bad", on the order of unusable.
You should also do some benchmarking to see if tuning the ZFS
recordsize has any positive (or negative) effect... Haven't had a
chance to do this yet, but my spidey senses think it might.

archives. I also saw some stuff about some bug that was listed on the
devel list, but I didn't see anything more about if it'd been
resolved or
not.
I was just wondering if any consensus had been reached about
running on
ZFS in production. I know I need to use namei for it, and I certainly
plan to do a lot of testing before I put production data on it.
Oh, the system I'd be using it on is running Sparc Solaris 10
01/06, but
with patches that installed ZFS.
Thanks,
