[zfs-discuss] ZFS and Storage

2006-06-26 Thread Mika Borner
Hi Now that Solaris 10 06/06 is finally downloadable I have some questions about ZFS. -We have a big storage sytem supporting RAID5 and RAID1. At the moment, we only use RAID5 (for non-solaris systems as well). We are thinking about using ZFS on those LUNs instead of UFS. As ZFS on Hardware

So if you have a single thread doing open/write/close of 8K files and get 1.25MB/sec, that tells me you have something like a 6ms I/O latency. Which look reasonable also. What does iostat -x svc_t (client side) says ? 400ms seems high for the workload _and_ doesn't match my formula, so I don't

A lesson we learned with Solaris Zones applies here to ZFS. Accomplishing high-level goals, e.g. prepare an appropriate environment for application XYZ installation (Zones) or prepare an appropriate filesystem for application XYZ data (ZFS) is different than it was before Solaris 10. For

If you've got hardware raid-5, why not just run regular (non-raid) pools on top of the raid-5? I wouldn't go back to JBOD. Hardware arrays offer a number of advantages to JBOD: - disk microcode management - optimized access to storage - large write caches - RAID
