Re: [zfs-discuss] ZFS on Hitachi SAN, pool recovery

I was doing a manual resilver, not with spares. I suspect still the issue comes from your script running as root, which is common for reporting scripts. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org ___ zfs-discuss mailing list

[zfs-discuss] Which is better for root ZFS: mlc or slc SSD?

I was under the impression that MLC is the preferred type of SSD, but I want to prevent myself from having a think-o. I'm looking to get (2) SSD to use as my boot drive. It looks like I can get 32GB SSDs composed of either SLC or MLC for roughly equal pricing. Which would be the better

In general, I think SLC is better, but there are a number of brand-new MLC devices on the market that are really fast; until a new generation of SLC devices show up, the MLC drives kind of win by default. Intel's supposed to have a SLC drive showing up early next year that has similar read
