Maybe the best thing here is to have us (i.e. the people on this list) come up with a set of standard and expected use cases, and have the ZFS team tell us what the relative performance/tradeoffs are. I mean, rather than us just asking a bunch of specific cases, a good whitepaper Best Practices / Cookbook for ZFS would be nice.
For instance: compare UFS/Solaris Volume Manager against ZFS in: [random|sequential][small|large][read|write] on UFS/SVM: Raid-1, Raid-5, Raid 0+1 ZFS: RaidZ, Mirrors Relative Performance of HWRaid vs JBOD e.g. 3510FC w/ RAID using ZFS vs 3510FC JBOD using ZFS I know a bunch of this has been discussed before (and I've read most of it :-), but collecting it in one place and filling out the actual analysis would be Really Nice. -- Erik Trimble Java System Support Mailstop: usca14-102 Phone: x17195 Santa Clara, CA Timezone: US/Pacific (GMT-0800) _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
