Fallacies of Distributed Computing
jhm – Tue, 2007 – 03 – 20 09:41
This is something I have to do with on a daily basis. The list sounds silly, but is spot on:
- The network is reliable.
- Latency is zero.
- Bandwidth is infinite.
- The network is secure.
- Topology doesn't change.
- There is one administrator.
- Transport cost is zero.
- The network is homogeneous.
usually we are affected by all of them

The work around is to slap a quota on the the ZFS that the zone sits on.
