(merging comments to Saso and Jim) I don't think I mentioned my environment - if not, my apologies. This is a SOHO/Lab setup, so things like zeusram are non-starters. The basic network infrastructure is gigabit, so iSCSI ZIL would suck badly, I suspect. As far as over-provisioning the 840PRO,

The 840 Pro doesn't have a super cap, but it does properly honor cache flushes which ZFS will do on a log device. This drastically reduces it's write performance and makes it a poor choice for a log device. Intel has several SATA SSDs with proper super-cap protected caches that make good log

I never tried them, but I know that the M500 and the M550 also have the capacitor. Less write cycles, but probably enough for SOHO. Anandtech tested them both. Olaf Il giorno 28/mag/2014, alle ore 19:44, Nate Smith nsm...@careyweb.com ha scritto: Third on S3700. They're the best mix of

It looks to me like Sa¨o's design is active/standby failover. Zpool import on the standby should obtain a clean transaction group as long as the originally active system is still not using the pool. The result would be similar to the power fail situation. As long as the right fencing is

Assuming you have real SAS devices in the pool, not SATA with interposers, you can use SCSI reservations. This can block the other host from accessing a pool you are about to take over. sg3_utils has utilities for managing SCSI reservations. The data pool is in fact all SAS. 8 1TB
