*bump*
just wanted to keep this into discussion. i think it could be important to zfs
if it could compress faster with a better compressratio.

We will be using Cyrus to store mail on 2540 arrays.
We have chosen to build 5-disk RAID-5 LUNs in 2 arrays which are both connected
to same host, and mirror and stripe the LUNs. So a ZFS RAID-10 set composed of
4 LUNs. Multi-pathing also in use for redundancy.
My question is any guidance on

Was that with OpenSolaris and was that with or without the Intel

Solaris 10 8/07, it was with the built-in RAID controller.

I'm using the thumper as a secondary storage device and therefor am technically
only worried about capacity and performance. In regards to availability, if it
fails I should be okay as long as I don't also lose the primary storage during
the time it takes to recover the secondary [knock on

In addition to Brendan's advice about benchmarking, it would be a good idea to
use the newer Solaris release (Solaris 10 08/07), which has a lot of ZFS
improvements (performance and functional).

Aaah, that makes sense :)
If it's just performance you're after for small writes, I wonder if you've
considered putting the ZIL on an NVRAM card? It looks like this can give
something like a 20x performance increase in some situations:
