Hi, I would like to know if the memory allocation problem with zfs has been fixed in -stable? Is zfs considered to be more "stable" now? Thanks! Pierre-Luc Drouin

Is zfs considered to be more "stable" now?It's still an experimental feature in FreeBSD, though the memory allocation issues might have been already fixed (I don't know personally). Many people have reported success stories when using ZFS on FreeBSD, however there's also plenty of them who are reporting substantial issues when using ZFS. It's up to your own decision whether ZFS will be feasible for you; you might want to test it before deploying it to the production environment. -- Best regards, Daniel mailto:danger@FreeBSD.org

FreeBSD is installed on an 80GB ufs2 disk, the zpool consists of two 750GB disks, set up as raidz (my mistake, mirror would probably have been the better choice). We've been using it for about 2 weeks now and there have been no problems (transferred lots of big and small files off/on it, maxing out disk speed). System is amd64, 4gb of ram.

When he configures the Samba share to use a UFS filesystem, everything works. When he configures the Samba share to use a ZFS filesystem, everything is corrupted. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@gmail.com
