Understood Edward, and if this was a production data center, I wouldn't be
doing it this way. This is for my home lab, so spending hundreds of dollars on
SSD devices isn't practical.
Can several datasets share a single ZIL and a single L2ARC, or much must each
dataset have their own?

got it attached to a UPS with very conservative
shut-down timing. Or
are there other host failures aside from power a
ZIL would be
vulnerable too (system hard-locks?)?
Correct, a system hard-lock is another example...
How about comparing a non-battery backed ZIL to running a ZFS
60GB SSD drives using the SF 1222 controller can be had now for around $100.
I know ZFS likes to use the entire disk to do it's magic, but under X86, is
the entire disk the entire disk, or is it one physical X86 partition?
In the past I have created 2 partitions with FDISK, but format will
So when I built my new workstation last year, I partitioned the one and only
disk in half, 50% for Windows, 50% for 2009.06. Now, I'm not using Windows,
so I'd like to use the other half for another ZFS pool, but I can't figure out
how to access it.
I have used fdisk to create a second
Thanks for this thread! I was just coming here to discuss this very same
problem. I'm running 2009.06 on a Q6600 with 8GB of RAM. I have a Windows
system writing multiple OTA HD video streams via CIFS to the 2009.06 system
running Samba.
I then have multiple clients reading back other HD
If you want a small system that is pre-built, look at
every possible
permutation/combination of the Dell Vostro 200 box.
I agree, the Vostro 200 systems are an excellent deal. Update to the latest
BIOS and they will recognize 8GB of RAM.
The ONE problem with them, is that Dell does not
