Hi Y'all, I've written before that we're considering moving to FreeBSD 8 from OpenSolaris and are heavily reliant on ZFS. Has anyone used FreeBSDs ZFS implementation for a high reliability environment like a database? If so, what are your experiences? Basically, I'm curious how stable the implementation is and whether it's ready for a critical production environment. Also, any gotchas particularly with running it with MySQL or anything else that utilizes a lot of memory. On Solaris, we cap the max ARC size to keep it from grabbing all the system RAM and competing with MySQL. Any thoughts or comments are greatly appreciated. -J
