You say troll, I say possibility; I'll certainly consider it. However, the demos that I've seen about ZFS stress how easy it is to administer, and all the LVM-style features it has. Personally, I've /very/ comfortable with LVM and am of the opinion that such features don't actually belong at the "filesystem" layer. [Though, VxFs seems to incorporate some of the same features as well.] So, ZFS doesn't look that promising. I need to good general purpose filesystem, what matters most to be is: 1) Online growing of the filesystem, with LVM I use this a lot, I won't consider a filesystem I can't grow while it is in active use. 2) Journaling or other techniques (FFS from the *BSD world does something they don't like to call journaling) that reduce the frequency of full fscks. 3) All-round performance, and I don't mind it using extra CPU time or memory to make filesystem performance better, I have both to spare. 4) Storage savings (like tail packing or transparent compression) -- Boyd Stephen Smith Jr. ,= ,-_-. =.
