Howdy, |
| 33 |
been reading this thread and am pretty intrigued, ZFS is much more than |
| 34 |
i thought it was. |
| 35 |
I was wondering though does ZFS work as a multiple client single storage |
| 36 |
cluster such as GFS/OCFS/VMFS/OrangeFS ? |
| 37 |
I was also wondering if anyone could share their experience with ZFS on |
| 38 |
iscsi - especially considering the readahead /proc changes required on |
| 39 |
same system ? |

thanks! |
