In other words, the DDT is always written in rust (written in main pool). You gain some performance by adding arc/l2arc/log devices, but it can only reduce the problem. Not solved. The problem would be solved if you could choose to dedicate an SSD mirror for DDT, and either allow the pool size to be limited by the amount of DDT storage available, or overflow into the main pool if the DDT device got full. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
