what the subject says, anyone put their venti (those that use it)
on a solid state disk?

I have not yet, but i've been meaning to play around some with
different arrangements for different parts. Please let us know if
you hear anything interesting.

I tried putting our index on a single OCZ SSD and it died during buildindex.
The SSD was completely unresponsive thereafter, which is pretty
appalling behaviour for a storage device. Having since sworn off
OCZ, I would try again with a pair of Intel 330s in a RAID.
I tried putting venti on an ssd with similar results. Fossil, kenfs, and cwfs
all worked fine on that drive though. I think it was one of the earlier Intels.

i have 60GB intel ssd in my new fileserver holding the
cwfs worm cache. no problems so far. but the machine is
just up for two weeks.
its an experiment. if it breaks i have spare sata drive
that could replace it. the worm is on a mirror with
traditional mechanical harddrives.

ocz seems to have a bad reputation. just googled "intel ssd broken"
and you get tons of results from people with broken/dead ocz ssd's.

We've had a lot of success with Intel SSDs, only problem is that they
seem to be in short supply right now. We're also looking at Samsung
SSDs, and they seem to be perhaps even better than the Intel SSDs.
OCZs break often in my experience.

No doubt. But I got it to the point where it's working quite happily. And it
can maintain that steady state until it tips over and dies, at whi

Is it? Cheap SSD seems to break as often as cheap spinny disks. According to
everyone's anecdotal stories, a

Exactly. That's where we started this conversation :-)

oh, now.
you give me too much credit.

trying.

I had originally used a Crucial 32GB SSD years ago and swapped to a 55GB
OCZ enterprise drive (using sdahci). More recently I've moved my venti
arenas over to plan9port and have switched over to using the entire SSD for
fossil. So far this has been faster than running venti natively - though I

cwfs copies the blocks from worm into the cache on read.
so the working set is served from the ssd and the ram
buffer cache. reading /n/dump would hit the mechanical
disk tho.

I ought to have observed that I bought the drive from Fry's as refurbished,
which probably wasn't a good recommendation for a drive that was fairly new.

Three strikes. Fate couldn't resist.

Makes sense. Moving to plan9port had more to do with making better use of
the ReadyNAS in the rack than anything else. The performance was a nice if
unexpected side-effect.
