Just to come back to this - I should say that I'm a big fan of ZFS and what Sun have done with filesystem design. Despite the issues we've had with that machine, I know it's great for people who are using it... BUT - if someone is asking "what's the best filesystem to use on Linux" and gets told ZFS, and by the way you should switch operating systems and ditch all the rest of your custom setup/ experience then you're as bad as a Linux weenie saying "just use Cyrus on Linux" in a "how should I tune NTFS on my Exchange server" discussion. >From the original post: Message-ID: <1617f8010812300849k1c7c878bl2f17e8d4287c10be@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx> "zfs (but we should switch to solaris or freebsd and throw away our costly SAN)" I'd love to do some load testing on a ZFS box with our setup at some point. There would be some advantages, though I suspect having one big mailboxes.db vs the lots of little ones we have would be a point of contention - and fine-grained skiplist locking is still very much a wishlist item. I'd want to take some time testing it before unleashing it on the world!
