Re: [zfs-discuss] 4k sector support in Solaris 11?
Hang on - IIRC, it's only yes to that question if the drive itself advertises that it's 4K sectors. I believed that if it uses 4K sectors, but *advertises* that it uses 512 byte blocks, then it goes to crap pretty quickly. (witness Netapp FC luns, many SSD's etc) Is there actually a fix to allow manual setting of ashift now that I missed, or are you referring to the 'best case'? Cheers, Nathan.

[zfs-discuss] 4k sector support in Solaris 11?
If I want to use a batch of new Seagate 3TB Barracudas with Solaris 11, will zpool let me create a new pool with ashift=12 out of the box or will I need to play around with a patched zpool binary (or the iSCSI loopback)? -- Dave Pooser Manager of Information Services Alford Media http://www.alfordmedia.com ___ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
