I have two systems with 140 drives in a single ZFS pool. (14 VDEVS of 10 drives each). They work great, and we haven't had any issues with them.

- tutfbhuf 6y agoWhat type of connection do these system have (e.g. 10GbE) and how much latency? Would it be possible to span a ZFS Pool across multiple regions (us, europe, ...)?
- secabeen 6y agoThe two systems are in different buildings on campus. Each system (with 140) drives is a single unit, with 60-drive JBODs running on SAS-external connections. If you want to span a pool across multiple regions, you'll want a distributed file system on top of your ZFS to manage that. Something like Lustre or Ceph. It would still be very challenging, though.
