The first important questions to answer are how much are you willing to
spend and what is it that you want to do with the machine? Are you
trying to have a large amount of tenancy? Are you going to be primarily
file serving over HTTP? Are you going to be running databases?
Basically what's your target working set for the machine going to be?
Is
it an amount of memory that can fit in DRAM?
Wasn't there a post last year that SmartOS must not use a cache vdev, because
it corrupts the data irreparably?
There was, the bug was fixed soon after.
It was a bug that was discovered, but I haven't followed it. I just wrote out
cache vdevs completely out of my design
They only really help if you are using your SmartOS systems as file
servers (like we do). Joyent reference system designs don't use them.
