Well, the only message in that long jaw-fest that means anything to me is the one from Matt Ahrens telling people not to bother with this. So as far as I'm concerned it's a cargo cult. Put it up on Snopes and call it done. Your vdevs can be whatever size makes sense based on your durability vs capacity/cost vs performance (more vdevs generally deliver more small-block IOPS but cost more per GB). > Best bet is to performance test 9+2 vs 8+3 for your storage load. Never hurts to do your own testing, no. ------------------------------------------- smartos-discuss Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/184463/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/184463/25769125-55cfbc00 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=25769125&id_secret=25769125-7688e9fb Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
