Today Allan and I presented "Optimizing MySQL Performance with ZFS" talk at MySQL Conference 2009. You can get the slides here (I have uploaded it to the conference website also)
Like I said during the talk, I will blog about ZFS comparisons with EXT3 when I have a chance to do the tests. Thanks for attending!

I caught up with Zach Skyles Owens, a PHP Evangelist at Microsoft. If you missed the embed, watch the video. I have some sparse notes below.
I learned some new things:
John Powell from eMapSite stopped by at the Whisper Suite in
MySQL
Users Conference earlier today to talk about his GlassFish issue. The
possible workaround was suggested and then the discussion became
interesting on how GlassFish is used for offshore monitoring of
windfarms and process weather forecasting data. Hear all about it
and watch a flashy demo of their product in this video:
NetBeans,
GlassFish, and MySQL is their development stack with a "very
positive experience"!
Stay tuned for the stories entry.
