Hi Mladen,

Thank you for your feedback!

ACFS seems to be a viable alternative to ZFS then.

I'm surprised to hear about good benchmark results of ZFS on Linux. I thought that ZFS has not been integrated into the Linux Kernel, i.e. that the ZFS processes are running in the user space.

As already mentioned, I've been successfully using ZFS from its very beginning, but I've got the impression that its future is uncertain.

Thank you,

Nenad

Not being able to afford a T5 super-cluster, I am playing with ZFS on Linux. It is surprisingly good, no complaints at all. Here are two pages about ZFS beating Ext4 on benchmark:

ZFS is a very decent file system.

It is helpful to share those requirements, as it is not useful to make recommendations without them?

What is it that you're trying to accomplish? What did ZFS do right, and at what did it fail?

Thanks!

Hi,

Is anybody running databases on ACFS or some other copy-on-write file system?

I'd be greatful if you could share your experiences. I'm looking for alternatives to ZFS, which has had fulfilled most of our requirements so far.

Many thanks in advance,

Nenad
