Fantastic! Has this been targetted at directory operations? We've
had issues with large directorys full of small files being very slow
to handle over PxFS.
The 'fastwrite option' speeds up write operations. So this doesn't do
much for directory operations.
Are there plans for PxFS on ZFS any time soon :) ?
PxFS on ZFS is unlikely to happen. A clusterized version of ZFS (as
mentioned before on this alias) is being considered.
Or any plans to
release PxFS as part of opensolaris?
PxFS is tightly couple to the cluster framework. Without open sourcing
cluster, PxFS in its current form cannot be opensourced as it would not
make sense.
As for open sourcing cluster, my guess is as good as yours.
