I was actually referring to the "Evil ZFS Tuning Guide" which, while helpful, doesn't come close to completely documenting the tunables that exist and in my opinion also doesn't really address the testing issue. Obviously I don't expect anyone else to benchmark my own systems for me, but more information about the expected effects would allow me to test more efficiently. The fact that it targets Solaris and that the directions don't apply directly never bothered me so far and I think the existing parts are pretty good in general. Fabian
