Richard,

I echoed your comments in my tome like email expressing that I wasn't keen on making the changes to the systems I have, nothing I can just through away. However, I understand that Humberto has a system that can be used for testing.

I understand that it is important for wiser folks to at important times to give us «All hope abandon, ye who enter here » warning lest learners not see the gravity and consequences of their undertakings.

Or, when things go really really badly, as they sometimes do, and folks start reflecting back, "didn't someone warn me about this?", one can think back to these warnings.

Over time I have become gun-shy trying on try things like this, now if I could extend that to writing and then sending inane emails to lists saying trifling things...... :P

Unless you understand each of the tunables and what they impact, do yourself a favor and avoid putting them on your system. In some cases, they are documented in the Solaris kernel tunables guide, in other cases they are documented only in source code.

Did you re-run the dd tests after tweaking those parameters?

Christopher, et al.,

I am trying to get my head around why the performance of
ramdisk is so much poorer than that of HDD-pool+SSD-slog.

/usbkey/test_dir]#  time dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmpfs/testfile
bs=64k count=32768;time dd if=/dev/zero
of=/usbkey/test_dir/testfile bs=64k count=32768
32768+0 records in
32768+0 records out
2147483648 <tel:%28214%29%20748-3648> bytes transferred in
2.279053 secs (942270169 bytes/sec)

real    0m2.312s
user    0m0.021s
sys     0m1.062s
32768+0 records in
32768+0 records out
2147483648 <tel:%28214%29%20748-3648> bytes transferred in
0.743729 secs (2887453957 bytes/sec)

real    0m0.760s
user    0m0.016s
sys     0m0.652s

I created the ramdisk thus:
ramdiskadm -a rd1 3072m
...
zfs create -o  mountpoint=/tmpfs -o sync=disabled  ramdsk1/rd1

I've run it many times and although the results vary yet the
tale is always the same.

Thank You,
Will
