Is there a problem? Also, how are you measuring this (what commands)? > Will a different volblocksize (during creation of the partition) make > better use of the available diskspace?

But recall that recordsize is the maximum limit, not the actual limit, which is decided dynamically. > I read http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=37673&tstart=105 > which is very similar to my case except for the file type.

A good start would be to find the distribution of file sizes. -- richard _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
