Re: FreeBSD ZFS vs. TrueOS ZoF benchmarks

Matt, Meaning?  How does -O0 optimization and INVARIANTS affect this?  Personally, I find everything on Phoronix "out-of-the-box" FreeBSD and optimized Linux.  *shrug*  Apples? Meet Oranges.  I make my money as a contractor supporting RH/CentOS, but it's always funny to give people the heads

Outperform at "out of the box" testing. ;-) So, if I have a "desktop" distro like PCBSD, the only thing of relevance is putting up my own web server (Yes, the benchmark showed PCBSD seriously kicking butt with Apache on static pages but why would I care on a desktop OS?) Personally, I

Hi, There are several things about this that are highly suspect.  First, wipe out the hardware RAID.  The processor doing RAID computation is, probably, MUCH slower than a core on the CPU.  Even if it's RAID-1 (Simple Mirror) this RAID card is performing tasks that is does not need to do inc

Hi, Well, I don't chime in, usually.  However, enough is enough.  There are many merits to both *BSD and Linux.  I don't agree with benchmarks that slant either way, as I'm sure people in both camps will agree.  Please be adult and just agree to disagree.  Technology applicable to the problem a

I'm sorry. I didn't run it. I should have but a journal was required. I could have used FFS w GEOM Journal but I was winging this in my free time while performing my "job". (Bored easily, and easily interested when something just "feels" wrong) So, I went with ZFS due to the gobs of memory

Be very, very careful in purchasing Core 2 Duo. There are major problems with the chip that have been documented across the board. Many, many people are steering clear of the chip for at least a year. This brings up a simple thought... is it better to stick with a tried and true chip at pre
