In the case of a ZVOL with the following settings: primarycache=off, secondarycache=all
How does the L2ARC get populated if the data never makes it to ARC ? Is this even a valid configuration? The reason I ask is I have iSCSI volumes for NTFS, I intend to use an SSD for l2arc. If something is read from the iSCSI device, then chances are Windows (or whatever OS) will cache it for a while in its own cache. It is unlikely that the data will be needed soon (under normal circumstances). Thus I would like it to avoid polluting the ARC with non-relevant data, but then the question is, how will that data make it to the L2ARC. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
