Hello, I have just done comparison of all the above filesystems using the latest filebench. If you are interested: http://przemol.blogspot.com/2008/02/zfs-vs-vxfs-vs-ufs-on-x4500-thumper.html Regards przemol -- http://przemol.blogspot.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Myslisz, ze nie ma sniegu?

If you are interested: > http://przemol.blogspot.com/2008/02/zfs-vs-vxfs-vs-ufs > -on-x4500-thumper.html > > Regards > przemolI would think there''d be a lot more variation based on workload, such that the overall comparison may fall far short of telling the whole story. For example, IIRC, VxFS is more or less extent-based (like mainframe storage), so serial I/O for large files should be perhaps its strongest point, while other workloads may do relatively better with the other filesystems. The free basic edition sounds cool, though - downloading now. I could use a bit of practice with VxVM/VxFS; it''s always struck me as very good when it was good (online reorgs of storage and such), and an utter terror to untangle when it got messed up, not to mention rather more complicated that DiskSuite/SVM (and of course _waay_ more complicated than zfs :-) Any idea if it works with reasonably recent OpenSolaris (build 81) ?

You can find it here: http://www.symantec.com/business/products/agents_options.jsp?pcid=2245&pvid=203_1 I played with it brielfly when they first introduced it after folks complained that vxvm/vxfs was so much more complicated than zfs. I don''t really have a need for it myself, but it seemed to work fine. Todd
