And we're not comparing apples to oranges etc, not measuring an actual number of IOPS, because of aggregation etc. But I don't think that's what you were asking. I don't think you are trying to quantify the number of IOPS. I think you're trying to confirm the qualitative characteristic, "If I have N slogs, I will write N times faster than a single slog." And that's a simple answer. Yes. ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
[zfs-discuss] Multiple SLOG devices per pool
I have a pool with a single SLOG device rated at Y iops. If I add a second (non-mirrored) SLOG device also rated at Y iops will my zpool now theoretically be able to handle 2Y iops? Or close to that? Thanks, Ray ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
