Not exactly. Have used ZFS for quite some time, and one of the features, compression matters to me since I have lots of compressible documentations all over the place. Have not tested ZFS performance, but did not see any degradations at all in opening, creating, moving, etc. files around. If compression is really a problem, it can be : * Turned off * gzip-N .. gzip-9 (ala gzip -1 or -9) compression levels if using gzip compression on ZFS. * Not used at all. -- regards, Andre | http://www.varon.ca _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
