As with RAID5 and RAID6, a wider stripe will improve read performance for raidz. Writes will generally be limited to the throughput of your slowest device. On average, writes will still be faster than than RAID5/6, since there is no read / re-write penalty for partial writes. -B -- Brandon High : bh...@freaks.com If violence doesn't solve your problem, you're not using enough of it. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
