the vendor stated this: " Believe me, my programmers all were extremely frustrated when Linux and Sybase ADS were unreliable. "
i hope that was badly worded; though linux has never been the most reliable of the unix-like systems, i believe it's on a whole different level from any version of windows. i was once an MCSE but defected (back) to *nix because i wanted to get real work done instead of fighting the operating system and related products. thanks for the suggestions thus far - all good stuff, and i really appreciate the insight and recommendations. i didn't realize joyent provided virtio drivers - i've been using the ones from fedora for several years on the windows terminal server (sitting on joyent_20140221T042147Z). i have often wondered about running an all-ssd zones pool. the devs all poo-poo the use of consumer-grade disks, and sata in general. and they have made great cases for doing so. but for most of my uses, the price and potential performance looks extremely attractive. i don't usually have the ability to drop a couple of thousand dollars into a disk subsystem for these small installations. the customers typically already have enough hardware to run everything bare-metal, but i've tried hard to virtualize everything for the many benefits provided by doing so (plus of course the ones specific to using smartos/zfs). ----- On Jul 1, 2016, at 3:23 PM, Humberto Ramirez <[email protected]> wrote: > Ideally it should sit on a SmartOS zone but...
