zfs discuss - Apr 2010 - Help:Is zfs-fuse''s performance is not good

I wonder if this is the right place to ask, as the Filesystem in User Space
implementation is a separate project. In Solaris ZFS runs in kernel. FUSE
implementations are slow, no doubt. Same goes for other FUSE implementations,
such as for NTFS.

Regards,

The classic answers from (open)solaris folks would be ''Why not run
(open)solaris?'' and ''why don''t you just try it out
yourself?''

The zfs fuse project will give you most of the nice zfs stuff, but it probably
won''t give you the same performance. I don''t think opensolaris
has been compared to FUSE ZFS, but it might be interesting to see that.

AFAIK zfs-fuse hasn''t been updated recently, so it''s
implementing a
version of zfs from over a year ago. There have been numerous
performance and stability improvements in that time.

If you really, really want to use zfs and linux, run OpenSolaris and
set up a linux xen or Virtualbox instance.
