So, you can “zpool create –o ashift=12” in illumos? I can’t do that in smartos at least…. From: Geoff Nordli [mailto:geoff.nor...@gmail.com] On Behalf Of Geoff Nordli Sent: 星期一, 三月 21, 2016 10:59 To: Fred Liu; omnios-discuss Cc: zfs-disc...@list.zfsonlinux.org Subject: Re: [OmniOS-discuss] 4kn

The ashift parameter doesn't apply in illumos if my memory serves me well. It was introduced by ZoL. Thanks. Fred On Sun, Mar 20, 2016 at 1:37 PM -0700, "Geoff Nordli" > wrote: Quick, question. Any performance differences between 4Kn and 512e

Quick, question. Any performance differences between 4Kn and 512e with ashift=12? I am thinking there should not be, since they will both write the full 4K block size. The workload will be virtual machines using a zvol. thanks, Geoff ___

As far as I see, there are no 4Kn 4TB SAS drives, only 6TB. From performance view, is there any different between 4Kn or 512e that is formated with ashift=12? Matej > On 19 Mar 2016, at 19:19, Geoff Nordli wrote: > > I have had really good luck with the Seagate drives as
