We've had a few EnterpriseDB customers who have had fantastically
painful experiences with PostgreSQL + ZFS. Supposedly, aligning the
ZFS block size to the PostgreSQL block size is supposed to make these
problems go away, but in my experience it does not have that effect.
So I think telling people who want checksums "go use ZFS" is a lot
like telling them "oh, I see you have a hangnail, we recommend that
you solve that by cutting your arm off with a rusty saw".
Wow, what platform are you using ZFS on?
(we have a half-dozen clients on ZFS ...)
Not us, customers. But as to platform, I have yet to run across
anyone running ZFS on anything but Solaris. I'd be interested to hear
your experiences. Mine rhyme with "sun a play dreaming".
I would guess he meant on X86_64 or Sparc.
