Nice article Matt.

Its good to see you recommend using compression for 4 / 8k record
sizes for DB work, as that's something we've used here for quite some
time and it does indeed work well.

However would you recommend "not" limiting the recordsize for said
DB workloads, or are the benefits still there to be had by limiting to DB
page size in your experience?

Also what's your experience tell you when it comes to 4k native sectors
in this area, still use compression?

Subject: [OpenZFS Developer] blog post: RAIDZ stripe width


The popularity of OpenZFS has spawned a great community of users,
sysadmins, architects and developers, contributing a wealth of advice, tips
and tricks, and rules of thumb on how to configure ZFS. In general, this is
a great aspect of the ZFS community, but I’d like to take the opportunity
to address one piece of misinformed advice about how many disks to put in
each RAID-Z group.
