Not sure if I am remembering this correctly, but I have the impression that using more than one zpool on SmartOS is discouraged - is this true?
I’ve been running a SmartOS server for a few years now, with no problems. It has a 256GB drive that was just fine for the mail server and misc uses that it does. However I just had my old Solaris 10 box die. I moved its 1TB hard drive over to the SmartOS box and SmartOS sees the ‘tank’ zpool just fine. I’d like to create a zone to replace the old Solaris machine’s functions (ssh login for cvs/svn/git, plus Apache, Postgres and Tomcat). But I’m wondering if I should leave the ‘tank’ zpool as-is or put in a larger drive for ‘zones’ and migrate all the filesystems over to it. In other words, is there a downside to having a second zpool (‘tank’ from the old Solaris machine) on the SmartOS box and letting the new zone hit it using NFS? Under Solaris 10, all the ‘home’ directories were auto-mounted over NFS, so I don’t think it would be much of a performance hit. Any opinions?
