<div>Greetings,<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br></div>
<div><!----><br>Performance issues aren't the only problem ploop
solves... it also solves the changing inode issue. When a container is
migrated from one host to another with simfs, inodes will change... and
some services don't like that. Also because the size of a ploop disk
image is fixed (although changeable), the fixed size acts as a quota...
so you get your quota back if you turned it off.<br><br>For me, unless
something changes, ZFS isn't a starter because almost no one ships with

I'm assuming ZFS wouldn't have the inode issue if you used the ZFS
functions in your migration. If you decided to use ZFS, you should
probably use snapshotting, send, and receive during the migration rather
than using vzmigrate. ZFS isn't going to be a drop-in replacement if
you want to get the most out of it. The problem I have with it is the
performance issues. During testing, I have had a lot of random
performance issues and write overhead. ZoL (ZFS on Linux) just doesn't
seem stable enough yet.<br>
