It does not make any sense.
I'm saying that even a single pair of disks (maybe 4 disks if you're using cheap slow disks) will outperform a 1Gb Ethernet. So if your bottleneck is the 1Gb Ethernet, you won't gain anything (significant) by accelerating the stuff that isn't the bottleneck. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
