Is zfs considered to be more "stable" now? I am using ZFS on my laptop as a typical, heavily used desktop system. I = experience some concurrency issues (the machine "locks up" for a moment=20 while the system is doing some work). I am doing some heavy tasks like=20 compiling OpenOffice in my free time. I experience very strange behaviour when running out of space (one of=20 the applications dumped a huge core file that could not be rm(1)'ed=20 because of.... "Not enough space"!). In my personal opinion, the stability of FreeBSD 7.0-stable with ZFS=20 (and maybe other features are at fault, e.g. wpi driver, my ACPI) is not = very good. I experience strange hangs and hick-ups, sometimes panics. The good thing about ZFS is that no matter how hard it dies it usually=20 comes up good (once I had to wait a while to let it recover after reboot = and reboot the system again cleanly since some files were missing and=20 just re-appeared later). I am bound to use ZFS because it saves me a lot of space (no need for=20 partition split), but as soon as I setup some more external disk space=20 for my laptop I may consider not using it anymore. --Marcin --------------enigDD0B2132DDEB2201A3C64FFB Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="signature.asc" -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBSCmlsD2W2v2wY27ZAQOXxwP/RodTejWFN8jMOO9oGj50deBaEDnKmnNm 1Zvtp+8M2UAMtGdr3oVFdtFJ7ocfAoj3c4otxzDxf+MAGiAGr2i+Ks/XK3tQ/tZ3 2BotRtbpFC6H8Nsi1flnyWxFIol9S1HXfmND3FNSuxSSUHbarxmYi4czXKSXG8cm 0/J0sn0KDqY= =V72o -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------enigDD0B2132DDEB2201A3C64FFB--
