Assuming that that question was addressed to me, the primary feature that I need from ZFS is snapshots. The Netapp has snapshots too, but they are done by disk blocks since, for an iSCSI LUN, the Netapp has no concept of files. ZFS snapshots allow restore of individual files when users accidentally delete them. As well, I do need a filesystem of some sort on the iSCSI LUN. If ZFS is superior to UFS in this application, I'd like to use it. -- -Gary Mills- -Unix Support- -U of M Academic Computing and Networking- _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
