I am currently doing research on how much memory ZFS should have for a storage server.
I came across this blog http://constantin.glez.de/blog/2010/04/ten-ways-easily-improve-oracle-solaris-zfs-filesystem-performance It recommends that for every TB of storage you have you want 1GB of RAM just for the metadata. Is this really the case that ZFS metadata consumes so much RAM? I'm currently building a storage server which will eventually hold up to 20TB of storage, I can't fit in 20GB of RAM on the motherboard! -- This message posted from opensolaris.org _______________________________________________ zfs-discuss mailing list zfs-discuss@opensolaris.org http://mail.opensolaris.org/mailman/listinfo/zfs-discuss
