Lets back up a bit.<br>
What are you using zfs for?<br>
The use case will defiantly effect your choice of solution.<br>

<div dir="ltr">HI Alexander,
<div> Thanks for the update.
Initially, I also thought of deploying Ceph but ceph is quite
difficult to set-up and manage. Moreover, it's also hardware
demanding. I think it's most suitable for a very large set-up
with hundreds of clients. </div>

<div>What do you think of MooseFS ? Have you or anyone else
tried MooseFS. If yes, how was its performance?</div>

Since ZFS is a local FS, you are essentially limited to how
much storage<br>
you can stick into one machine, yes.<br>
<br>

<br>
I don't think that is giving you the kind of long term
scalability<br>
you might expect.<br>

I'm running GlusterFS in a small cluster for backup storage.<br>

For that use case I would actually recommend Ceph over
GlusterFS, since<br>
that can be pretty easily scaled out to very large setups,
e.g. CERN is<br>
using multiple Ceph clusters sized at several PB and their use
cases<br>
usually include very fast I/O.<br>
<br>
Another concern is that Ceph is being quite actively developed
whereas<br>
GlusterFS development seems to have slowed down to ... not
much, these days.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Alex.<br>
