Indeed! That's what we do. Just pointing out that it's more involved than SIMFS

For sure, but this is a comparison with SIMFS -- just making it clear what kinds of differences can be expected. I think the benefits outweigh the downsides, but that might not be the case for everyone.
ccto wrote on Sun, 17 November 2019 22:30From my personal experience, if you have a number of containers, each container contains a number of files, ploop performs faster than simfs over time.
That may be the case; I haven't done a direct comparison on the same hardware to know for sure. One thing we can be sure of is that it's definitely more performant migrating ploop containers as it doesn't need to xfer file by file.
