Hi everybody, I am considering moving my data pool from a two disk (10krpm) mirror layout to a three disk raidz-1. This is just a single user workstation environment, where I mostly perform compile jobs. From past experiences with raid5 I am a little bit reluctant to do so, as software raid5 has a major impact on write performance.
Is this similar with raidz-1 or does the zfs stack work around the limitations that come with raid5 into play? How big would the penalty be? As an alternative I could swap the drives for bigger ones - but these would probably then be 7.2k rpm discs, because of costs. Any experiences or thoughts? TIA, Thomas _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
