1) you want to give ZFS entire spindles if at all possible; that will
mean it can enable and utilise the drive's hardware write cache
properly, leading to a performance boost. You want to do this if you
can.
Tsk, turns out Mysql was holding on to some old files..
Thanks Daniel!

You could use a ZVOL on the RAID-Z. Ok, not the most efficient thing,
but there's no sort of flag to disable parity on a specific object. I
wish there was, exactly for this reason.

Hi there,
have a strange behavior if i´ll create a zfs pool at an EMC PowerPath

I can create a pool on emcpower0a

the first one works fine, even zfs/powerpath
Has there been any discussion here about the idea integrating a virtual IP into

Will it cause any support issues?

This sounds familiarlike something about the powerpath device not
responding to the SCSI inquiry strings. Are you using the same version
of powerpath on both systems? Same type of array on both?

Hi Rick,
Hmm. Not sure I can do RAID5 (and boot from it). Presumably, though,
this would continue to function if a drive went bad.
It also prevents ZFS from managing the devices itself, which I think
is undesirable (according to the ZFS Admin Guide).
I'm also not sure if I have RAID5
