It no more defeats the purpose of zfs than it does to run ZFS on a (single disk) laptop. ZFS gives you snapshots, replication, compression, flexible allocation policy, etc etc. It can detect corruption to help validate your infrastructure.
And of course you might not be using a single simple storage volume presented by vmware. You might have multiple luns from different vmware storage providers, or access external storage directly such as via iscsi. You might even be providing storage services to other vms. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
