Hi Olivier, We've actually been running MySQL on ZFS on Solaris for quite some time. :) We're very comfortable with that setup.
My question is more specific to live experience with doing the same thing on FreeBSD. We know where the sabots are on MySQL/ZFS/Solaris. Would like to find out where the landmines are when you swap Solaris for FreeBSD in that equation. Thank you again. -J On Thu, Apr 29, 2010 at 8:48 AM, Olivier Smedts <oliv...@gid0.org> wrote: > 2010/4/29 Jason J. W.
