Do > you have some benchmarks for that? --As for the rest, it is mine. Particularly in this use-case: From my reading ZFS has a performance hit when used as a base filesystem for NFS. (Largely because it insists on *actually following* the NFS spec, and not taking some shortcuts that are common elsewhere...) Not that I have tested that, even on my NFS server. (Which runs ZFS - there are other excellent reasons to use it, and speed isn't a major concern for that particular box.) Daniel T.
