We are using it in production and have a 6TB RAIDZ on FreeBSD8 RC2 amd64 we are quite happy with the FreeBSD 8 setup. we tried it on FreeBSD 7.2 i386 and did not like it (we got a few panics) the only trouble we really had on FreeBSD8 is the sharenfs manpages are not updated. so we are using the classic /etc/exports instead of the zfs option.

The syntax is the same. Anything you can put into /etc/exports you can put into the sharenfs property. In fact, behind the scenes, the sharenfs property is just copied into a private exports file, and the nfs daemon uses that in addition to /etc/exports. The man pages for ZFS are just dumps of the Solaris ones, so a lot of the info is not quite right for a FreeBSD system. -- Freddie Cash fjwcash@... _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscribe@..."

Reading questions@, current@, and hackers@, there are many people happily running ZFS. But it's also generating _at least_ 10x the queries and problems of ufs, ext?fs, ntfs/msdosfs, and nfs put together. Much of that is "Can I X?" or "How do I X?" ... and the rest isn't. My personal take: ZFS has been out there for less than five years (according to Wikipedia) and is still in the steep part of the development curve. I'll wait until it has a few more gigadays under its belt before betting the ranch.
