In our environment, the politically and administratively simplest
approach to managing our storage is to give each separate group at
least one ZFS pool of their own (into which they will put their various
filesystems). This could lead to a proliferation of ZFS pools on our
fileservers (my current guess is at least 50 pools and perhaps up to
several hundred), which leaves us wondering how well ZFS handles this
many pools.
So: is ZFS happy with, say, 200 pools on a single server? Are there any
issues (slow startup, say, or peculiar IO performance) that we'll run
into? Has anyone done this in production? If there are issues, is there
any sense of what the recommended largest number of pools per server is?
Thanks in advance.
