At the end of my OP I mentioned that I was interested in L2ARC for dedupe. It sounds like the DDT can get bigger than RAM and slow things to a crawl. Not that I expect a lot from using an HDD for that, but I thought it might help. I'd like to get a nice SSD or two for this stuff, but that's not in the budget right now. -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
