I really think that with ZFS on Linux implemented using the block layer instead of the VFS layer (which would need work to support it and thus kernel adoption for that work) would provide comparable performance to FreeBSD/Solaris on comparable hardware. This means a lot more work on the port as it will need to write a lot of the routines that used to be handled by the OS' VFS layer to the lower-level block layer, but this would assure both reliability and performance. -Ross _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
