Question about ZFS support

2005-11-21 Thread Vasiliy Khodyrev
Good morning/afternoon/evening,

 

I have a question to FreeBSD developers:

 

Are you planning to include support for ZFS(link below) into FreeBSD in any
future releases?

 

http://www.opensolaris.org/os/community/zfs/docs/

 

 

Best regards,

Vasiliy Khodyrev

while i'm not FreeBSD coder i would ask question - how does it REALLY 
work - contrary to information.


i mean how it works in practice.

IMHO checksumming every data (not just metadata) is nonsense if it cannot 
be turned off. this makes every transfer not just I/O bound but CPU and 
memory transfer/cache bound too. while disk and memory bandwidth in todays 
machines are quite comparable (memory is faster but not THAT faster than 
linear disk I/O) it isn't just a little thing.


built in compression isn't good idea IMHO - of course it doesn't hurt if 
it's optional. today disk space is rarely a problem, while huge files are 
often not much compressible.


by general description filesystem looks very nice.

thats theory - did anyone made a real test on real system?

Someone would first need to port the code to run on FreeBSD before it
can be incorporated into the FreeBSD OS.
