Okay, my order for an x4500 went through so sometime soon I'll be using it as a big honkin area for DSUs and DSSUs for netbackup.
Does anybody have any experience with using zfs compression for this purpose? The thought of doubling 48tb to 96 tb is enticing. Are there any other zfs tweaks that might aid in performance for what will pretty much be a lot of long and large reads and writes? I'm planning on one big chunk of space for a permanently on disk DSU, and another for the DSSU staging areas. Also, I haven't looked into this but is a spare considered part of a zpool, or is there such a thing as a global spare? _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
