Hi, all,

while there is quite a bit of documentation on how to improve ZFS performance
by using a combination of rotating disks and SSDs, I have not found much about
an SSD only setup.

We are planning to try a hosting server with 8 SATA SSDs with ZFS. Things I am
not at all sure about:

*       Does the recommended limit of 6 disks for a RAIDZ2 still
        hold? 2x 4 disks is quite a bit of overhead, could I use all 8
        in one vdev and get away with it?
        (The maximum of 6 recommendation is in some old Sun doc)

*       Will e.g. MySQL still profit from residing on a mirror
        instead of a RAIDZ2, even if all disks are SSDs?

*       Does a separate ZIL and/or ARC cache device still
        make sense?

Any pointers or direct help greatly appreciated. Or should I take this to 
freebsd-fs@?

Thanks and best regards,
Patrick
