I've been reading about ZFS -- a revolutionary new way to store and manage disc data. Sun are including it in the latest release of Solaris 10.
I can hardly wait to get my hands on it!
But it occurs to me that "classic" thinking about performance tuning for databases will need to be revised for ZFS.
Has anyone thought about this yet?
Just as an example -- using UFS we try to put the AI file on a dedicated disc -- and the fastest one we have. But what do we do with ZSF? Do we make a fast single disc into a separate pool -- and put the AI file there?
How do you create RAID 1 with ZFS? Is each side of the mirror a separate pool?
I'd appreciate any thoughts at all about ZFS.
Regards,
Ron.
