For slide 3, HA-ZFS is available now with HA-Storage+ if you're happy with Active/Passive. HA-iSCSI code was released just before christmas I believe but is currently untested, and HA-CIFS is just a thought on the roadmap. The reason for the 2008/2009 timeline is because that's when I've been

PS. This is how I drew up the concept, I'm hoping we'll be able to cluster the ZFS Hosts by this time next year: http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/servlet/JiveServlet/download/94-44970-177042-4435/Clustered%20ZFS.pdf This message posted from opensolaris.org

Although it looks like possible, but very complex architecture. If you can wait, please explore pNFS: http://opensolaris.org/os/project/nfsv41/ What is pNFS? * The pNFS protocol allows us to separate a NFS file system's data and metadata paths. With a separate data path we are free

Hello list, I'm thinking about this topology: NFS Client NFS--- zFS Host ---iSCSI--- zFS Node 1, 2, 3 etc. The idea here is to create a scalable NFS server by plugging in more nodes as more space is needed, striping data across them. A question is: we know from the docs that zFS
