It's good when you use local disks and give those disks fully to ZFS, this way you really don't have any performance impact except considerable amount of RAM going to ZFS needs. But other then that, no, FreeBSD from, say, 9.0-RELEASE works perfectly with ZFS. If you keep NAS on ZFS shared by ZFS - that also is a good idea, but if you use ZFS on virtual disks of VMWare then I'd say that's a waste. 27.03.2016 22:07, 張敬昊 пишет: > Hi list: > > We have about eight freebsd workstations on vmware vsphere 6 cluster whose > storage is based on NFS provided by NetApp. > > We have been using ZFS on our workstations because we wanted to take > advantage of the ZFS boot environment; however, recently we are told not to > do so because using ZFS would impose a huge performance impact on our > workstations.
