Is zfs considered to be more "stable" now? I am using ZFS on my laptop as a typical, heavily used desktop system. I experience some concurrency issues (the machine "locks up" for a moment while the system is doing some work). I am doing some heavy tasks like compiling OpenOffice in my free time. I experience very strange behaviour when running out of space (one of the applications dumped a huge core file that could not be rm(1)'ed because of.... "Not enough space"!). In my personal opinion, the stability of FreeBSD 7.0-stable with ZFS (and maybe other features are at fault, e.g. wpi driver, my ACPI) is not very good. I experience strange hangs and hick-ups, sometimes panics. The good thing about ZFS is that no matter how hard it dies it usually comes up good (once I had to wait a while to let it recover after reboot and reboot the system again cleanly since some files were missing and just re-appeared later). I am bound to use ZFS because it saves me a lot of space (no need for partition split), but as soon as I setup some more external disk space for my laptop I may consider not using it anymore. --Marcin [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQCVAwUBSCmlsD2W2v2wY27ZAQOXxwP/RodTejWFN8jMOO9oGj50deBaEDnKmnNm 1Zvtp+8M2UAMtGdr3oVFdtFJ7ocfAoj3c4otxzDxf+MAGiAGr2i+Ks/XK3tQ/tZ3 2BotRtbpFC6H8Nsi1flnyWxFIol9S1HXfmND3FNSuxSSUHbarxmYi4czXKSXG8cm 0/J0sn0KDqY= =V72o -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
