Would it help in improving IOps or latency for more random work loads? It may not be that you're pushing bandwidth, but rather a lot of (say) NFS writes. It could potentially cause a lot of seeks, even with striped mirrors. _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
