[LUAU] ZFS .vs UFS under Mysql
http://dev.mysql.com/tech-resources/articles/mysql-zfs.html#MySQL_Performance_Comparison:_ZFS_vs._UFS_on_Open_Solaris Quoting: ZFS introduces remarkable ease and flexibility of administration, without any real cost in performance. At its worst, in these tests, ZFS performed almost as well as UFS with Direct I/O. With InnoDB, the ZFS performance curve suggests a new strategy of set the buffer pool size low, and let ZFS handle the data buffering. I did not test Falcon, since it was not yet in Beta when I ran the benchmarks, but a similar strategy for Falcon on ZFS might be to concentrate on the row cache but minimize the page cache. And although double-buffering problems are clearly visible in this ZFS performance curve, even with those problems at their worst, ZFS still outperformed UFS. The real reason for the good performance on this benchmark is not clear -- indeed, every workload will be different -- but the ZFS I/O scheduler, the Sun engineers paying attention to database performance, and the ZFS bug fixes contributed in recent (late 2007) releases of Open Solaris seem to be adding up to something good.

Re: [LUAU] Recommended FOSS network backup tool
There are several at sourceforge. Amanda looks interesting. Why don't you tell us about your experience after you get something set up? Wish I knew more. Dave On 11/2/07, R.
