Tried that. Performance headed south like a cat with its tail on fire. We didn't bother quantifying, it was just that hideous. (You know, us northern-hemisphere people always use "south" as a "down" direction. Is it different for people in the southern hemisphere? :) ) There's just too many _other_ little things running around a normal system for which NOT having primarycache is just too painful to contemplate (even with L2ARC) that, while I can envisage situations where one might want to do that, they're very very few and far between. -bacon _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
