Go re-read that blog entry: If you do not penalize ZFS with double checksums, you can note that we are within 6% of our best UFS number. So 6% gives you provable data integrity, unlimited snapshots, no fsck, and all the other good features. Quite good in my book :-) Of course, this number is only going to get better as more performances enhancements make it into the ZFS code. (http://blogs.sun.com/realneel/entry/zfs_and_databases_time_for) ...and those numbers were from last year (2007) on a synthetic OLTP workload. I would suggest that Pao follow Neel's reccomendations about tuning your database, and also look at his I/O configuration. -j _______________________________________________ perf-discuss mailing list perf-discuss@opensolaris.org
