Interesting that those drives are working well for you. Do you think you get such good speeds because you have the stripped across 2 raidz2 arrays? My budget wont allow for 12 drives currently - so that is not really an option for me currently.
How full are you file systems? How long does the scrub take? I would prefer to go with 5 1.5TB Green drives if I think I could get good enough performance in one raidz2 array. I have just read in the ZFS forum people mentioning that drives over 1 TB are so big that scrubs and/or resilvering takes forever. I am hoping to not need a ZIL.. Anywhere that I can mount with NFS I can also mount with CIFS. I may look at adding a ZIL if I end up doing NFS - it may be faster (with a ZIL) from my linux/macs. Does your recommendation for dual over quad still stand if I am planning on doing dedup/compression on my backup and documents filesystems? I forgot to mention that in my initial posting, which I know is a glaring omission. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ opensolaris-help mailing list opensolaris-help@opensolaris.org
