Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] ZIL write cache performance

2012-01-12 Thread Open Indiana
There are several online descriptions on how to tune MySQL in combination with ZFS. One thing you need to tune or look at is the blocksize of the ZFS drive where the MySQL data is stored. As far as I can imagine you could also tune the ZIL blocksize to see what that changes. Some usefull links: htt

I would stick with single drive raid 0. I tried what you are talking about in the distant past and it didn't work out so well with manageability or performance. I know performance will be good, far better than wirespeed of a 1gbps for nearline type workloads. If you want some file bench result
