Hi,
I've just started using ZFS + NFS, and i was wondering if there is
anything i can do to optimise it for being used as a mailstore ? (
small files, lots of them, with lots of directory's and high
concurrent access )
So any ideas guys?
check out this thread, which may answer some of your questions:
http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?messageID=40617
sounds like your workload is very similar to mine. is all public
access via NFS?
also, check out this blog entry from Roch:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/roch?entry=the_dynamics_of_zfs
for small file workloads, setting recordsize to a value lower than the
default (128k) may prove useful.
So what about for software development (like Solaris :-) where
we've got lots of small files that we might be editting (biggest
might be 128k) but when it comes time to compile, we can be
writing out megabytes of data.
Has anyone done a build of OpenSolaris over NFS served by
ZFS and compared with a local ZFS build?
How do both of those compared with UFS ?
