Since combining ZFS storage backend, via nfs or iscsi, with ESXi heads, I’m
in love. But for one thing
What would the performance impact be of splitting up a 64 GB SSD into four
partitions of 16 GB each versus having the entire SSD dedicated to each
pool?
Scenario A:
2 TB Mirror w/ 16 GB read cache partition
2 TB Mirror w/ 16 GB read cache partition
2 TB Mirror w/ 16 GB read cache partition
2 TB
Based on the answers I received, I will stick to an SSD device fully
dedicated to each pool. This means I will have four SSDs and four pools.
This seems acceptable to me as it keeps things simpler and if one SSD
(L2ARC) fails, the others are still working correctly.
Thank you.
