For my understanding, the ZIL should be able to handle the update/delete part. Are there any simulated real world tests? I would really like to deploy ZFS in a couple of month for Oracle Databases. I haven't had the time to do any DB on ZFS testing, but I don't like ASM. IMHO, Oracle should do things in their domain (database stuff) and keep their fingers out of functionality that is the domain of Unix (namely storage). Maybe there are some environments where ASM is ok (small machines, development machines etc.), but I don't see any use for it in bigger in environments, where we have a segregation of duty. If Oracle wants to play with Unix, they can start converting their services to Solaris' SMF :-) Mika # mv Disclaimer.txt /dev/null ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This message is intended for the addressee only and may contain confidential or privileged information.
