Hi Robert, Our X4500 configuration is multiple 6-way (across controllers) RAID-Z2 groups striped together. Currently, 3 RZ2 groups. I'm about to test write performance against ZFS RAID-10. I'm curious why RAID-Z2 performance should be good? I assumed it was an analog to RAID-6. In our recent

Hi Robert, That makes sense. Thank you. :-) Also, it was zpool I was looking at. zfs always showed the correct size. -J On 1/3/07, Robert Milkowski [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Hello Jason, Wednesday, January 3, 2007, 11:40:38 PM, you wrote: JJWW Just got an interesting benchmark. I made two
