How does this work in an environment with storage that's centrally- managed and shared between many servers? I'm putting together a new IMAP server that will eventually use 3TB of space from our Netapp via an iSCSI SAN. The Netapp provides all of the disk management and redundancy that I'll ever need. The server will only see a virtual disk (a LUN). I want to use ZFS on that LUN because it's superior to UFS in this application, even without the redundancy. There's no way to get the Netapp to behave like a JBOD. Are you saying that this configuration isn't going to work? -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
