Hi: (Warning, new zfs user question)
I am setting up an X4500 for our small engineering site file server.
It's mostly for builds, images, doc archives, certain workspace
archives, misc
data.
I'd like a trade off between space and safety of data. I have not set
up a large

Hi All,
This is a bit off-topic...but since the Thumper is the poster child

I have an 800GB raidz2 zfs filesystem. It already has approx 142Gb of data.
Can I simply turn on compression at this point, or do you need to start
with compression
at the creation time? If I turn on compression now, what happens to the
existing data?
Thanks,

I've got my first server deployment with ZFS.
Consolidating a pair of other file servers that used to have
a dozen or so NFS exports in /etc/dfs/dfstab similar to;
/export/solaris/images
/export/tools
/export/ws
. and so on
For the new server, I have one large zfs pool;

hi
can you give some disadvantages of the ZFS file system??
Yes, it's too easy to administer.
This makes it rough to charge a lot as a sysadmin.
All the problems, manual decisions during fsck and data recovery,
