I haven't personally used SmartOS, but from my experience with Solaris 11, package management and availability wasn't great. Many common packages weren't available, some were only available through a semi-maintained community

Performance overhead definitely varies based on the workload: http://openbenchmarking.org/result/1308296-SO-UBUNTUKVM59 (on the AIO test something was definitely wonky, maybe fsyncs weren't being obeyed) That&#x27

KVM has more performance overhead than LXC. Sure, SmartOS has "zones" which are a similar concept, but then you're stuck with the SmartOS (Solaris) userspace. Plus, with LXC the physical host is running Linux, so hardware com

The total power output of a 747 at takeoff is 90MW (90,000,000W), while cruising it is 45MW. (According to answers.com). A kilowatt is 1000W (you seem to have been mixing up megawatts and kilowatts).

Agreed. My point was simply that you shouldn't write off the filesystem entirely just because some of the implementations aren't mature.

Probably because there isn't a handy YUM repository for installing ZFS support.

I'll just note that it is the implementation of ZFS that is pre-1.0, not the filesystem itself. The ZFS filesystem itself has been production-ready for several years now. That said, I might use the current Linux implementation for my non-cr
